Forums - Microsoft - New Xbox 360 Model Possibly Revealed

Graphics programmer Ryan Geiss may have unveiled the new Xbox 360 rumored to be incoming as well as it's name.

Graphics programmer Ryan Geiss posted a news blog on his website where he states:

"I can finally disclose that I'm one of the core developers of the human-tracking algorithms for Project Natal (click for more info), bringing full-body motion control to the Xbox 360+"

Note that last part... typo? Or did he slip up and say something he was not supposed to? Still yet, it would be a rather unlikely typo to make considering you have to hold shift down for a +. This would mean that the new Xbox 360, rumored to come bundled with Project Natal and possible 1TB HDD SKUs would be called Xbox 360+ or "plus".

Ryan Geiss is currently at Microsoft as a full-time programmer, working on some next-gen console projects as well as Project Natal. Xbox Evolved has contacted Ryan about this and will post an update once (or if) we get a response about this.

Doesn't surprise me. Natal stand alone, Natal built in. It's all the same, and wouldn't be unexpected.



Interesting. XBox 360+. Copying Nintendo on the naming convention?



Yeah, no way it's called the 360+. Too similar to the just released Wii Motion+. 360+ is a working reference title if anything.

Thats some iffy stuff there...



1TB HDD and Natal....
imagine if MS released it at $300!



 

 

 

 

I call BS on the 1 TB HDD. Doesn't the 120GB HDD retail for like $99? What would the 1,000 GB HDD be priced at?!



^ According to my calculations, it takes 8,3 periodic 120GB HDDs to make a 1,000GB HDD, and if 1 120GB HDD sells for $100, well... it would cost around $830!

No kidding.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Does a single 1TB laptop HD even exist?
