I hope both motion controllers on the PS3 and 360 crash, burn and die a horrible death so we can all get back to normal gaming and have the Wii for the kids and women.

Here's the problem with Kinetic :

The Wii looks in a wide arc to the left and right of its sensor but doesn't require any depth data. Kinetic needs about 15 feet of front-to-back to properly operate. It also can't cope with any objects being in that area, so no coffee tables, chairs, sofas speakers, etc.

Now how many of us have this 15 feet to spare? I certainly don't. Nor does anyone living in a flat. Or most living rooms outside America.

It's incredibly impractical.

Anyway I doubt it will interfere with business as usual on the Xbox. Devs will continue to pump out modern, traditional games because they can. Remember, it's still the Xbox. It's not as if they have downgraded it's core components to match the speed of the Gamecube.

Thinking of getting the matte black 250gb one cause I've had my one since 2006/it's amazingly loud/I recently broke the hdmi port

Worth it?

RRoD is history on these new ones and they are quiet as a mouse...plus you don't even have to press the power button to turn it on, you just lightly touch the symbol and it comes on xD

The rrod isn't extinct ,It just isnt a ring anymore due to design, its now a dot.
My mate has it and its quite but so is my PS3 slim. I prefer PS3 in general but design wise it is so much sexier!

Ordered it earlier should come on Friday or Saturday

Ima miss my 2006 xbox 360, all this time and I still didn't get this RRoD nonsense (but then again I really only played fifa)

The matte on the new ones must be good cause they don't attract as much dust as the regular ones
