Whoa. New XCOM game. Trailer shown at 3D. Apparently it is an FPS.

Well, it's not every day that you see a game based on surfing down the street on an office chair.............

Bought Tiger Woods 11 for Wii yesterday. Funny how the two multi-platform games that the Wii kills the PS3 and 360 versions on are both sports games (this and PES). This game is pretty awesome. Anyone play this online?

The trailer doesn't look too bad and I like the retro setting of the game. That said, it's not XCom. I would be more interested in this game if it wasn't called XCom. It just feels like a complete waste of the IP to slap the name on this game. I am annoyed by it.

This game would actually be the big reason that I would consider purchasing the Move controller on the PS3. I could see that as something I would use quite a bit. I'd love to see them come out with a package deal, much like they did on the Wii. It wouldn't surprise me at all if that is already in the works. |

I don't usually get into these things, but I really really think the best thing about Kinect is that there is no controller! If it works just as good as wii/move or better and doesnt have an extra controller on your hand that would be fantastic. After watching that kung fu rider trailer and seeing the Move controller, it just looks dumb. I know it would look dumb without one but I think it would be way cooler for some reason to just be using your hands and body not attached to anything.

I'm still not sold on Kinect, but I'm especially not sold on it if it's truly more pricey than $100. I think in some ways it's like the Wii...everybody liked the idea of it at first, but I'll be the first to say that aside from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the only time it gets turned on is when I have friends over, and then we ONLY play bowling (Wii Sports Resort version), shuffleboard (on Game Party), or Boom Blox...all games that are good for crowds.
Then again, I also cannot think of games I'd like to play with motion controls. The Zelda franchise is all but dead to me thanks to motion- (Wii) and stylus- (DS) controlled versions that feel gimmicky at best. I'm not into fighting/boxing games, which would shine with this type of control. I've heard that the racing game on the Kinect is OK, but I'm not sure I could see using that, either (Mario Kart with the Wii Wheel feels awkward...). None of my JRPGs or western RPGs is really conducive to motion control. Shooters I'd think you'd want something to point with (i.e. a controller of some sort). No Kinect for me (or PS Move, either). /tk

FYI for those who were considering a 360 trade-in for the new model. Here's the info on what you can get. Sounds like you get $50 less if you don't pre-order it.
Trading In To Get The “New” Xbox 360 [Update] | Loot Ninja Also, not terribly surprised at this. We had alreaady talked about how the motion technology likely increases the length of this generation. MS Euro boss say we won't see a new system from them until 2015. I think most consumers will be very pleased with this. I'd love to get 7-8 years out of my system. No new Xbox until 2015 | News | TechRadar UK Quote:

The Kinetic, even though it is a pre-order not set to be released for almost 5 months, is currently in the top 3 on Amazon's video games best seller list.

I just traded in my Elite for the new 360. I'll give impressions once I get this bad boy hooked up. Looks shiny

I would guess you could keep it and not get that trade-in value so you could transfer it, but I'm guessing that your best answer is that you can't do that if you want the trade-in value. Edit: Cartman gave a better answer below. Last edited by Mizzou B-ball fan : 06-22-2010 at 12:18 PM. |

I did the transfer on a USB card... hope it works - if not oh well.
It cost me about $160 after trade in of my old box and 250 GB HD. But I traded in some old games + a birthday gift card and it cost me about $80 out of pocket. I'll tell you the main reason why I did the upgrade. My old box sounded like a damn jet plane when on and I couldn't stand it!

I'm trying to figure out a way to get a new one without the accountant making me sleep in the basement for a couple of days.

I would think that a lot of 360 users would take advantage of this redesign. With the reliability issues and the fact that this generation is going to last awhile, it's well worth it to get a more reliable alternative that what most currently have at a good trade-in price. I can't imagine the stacks of traded-in consoles that Gamestop is going to have in the coming months. I'm guessing an old model will be pretty cheap by Christmas. |

Does anyone know if you can use an old HD with the new 360? That's the one thing that would keep me from upgrading. I have a bunch of active save games on my hardrive.

You have to use a transfer cable to move your saves. The old HDs are not compatible with the redesigned 360.
With my 360 already having had one trip to the repair shop, this is tempting me. Last edited by Kodos : 06-22-2010 at 12:46 PM. |

It is a different form factor. You'd have to transfer the data. It is pretty simple to do with the MS transfer cable.

So, could I connect my Xbox to, say, my laptop via an Ethernet cable, transfer the information to the laptop and then do the reverse for the new Xbox? Or do I need some other kind of cable? Sorry, I don't mean to be dense, these types of things aren't all that intuitive for me.

MS has an adapter cable that comes with a CD. You take the old HD out, and plug the cable into the old HD, and the USB end into the Xbox. The CD contains the transfer software. Since a lot of the saves and downloads are encrypted, you'll need the CD to be able to transfer everything.

PS3 Firmware 3.40 went live last night, which includes Playstation Plus. Probably going to pick it up now while they're offering the three month bonus.

thanks for that link. Have only marginally realized this was coming, since i´m getting a PS3 this Friday might as well start thinking about this one.
On first glance don´t see a huge need to get this, can anyone with a PS3 elaborate in how far this "makes sense" ? I almost never found any 360 online/Indie games worthwile, the 1-hour-trial is kind of stupid to me (1 day i could see). You also don´t get to choose between free games but there´s allways only 1 available, right ? The "Exclusive offers on select demos" will be the same as with the 360 i guess, getting demos 1 week early ? kind of feels like the difference silver---Gold for the 360, only that you can still play online without getting PSN+. For now one could maybe add ? Guess at some point Sony might want to cash in here as well ... EDIT : Then again i have bot Little Big Planet and Wipeout HD on my list of games i´d like to get used and cheap to check out, both would be included in the year-long membership. Hmm ...

So you guys try to sell me on whether I should get a 360 or PS3. Particularly pros and cons, prices, deals, bundles. Not 100% that I'm going to get one or the other, but I cashed out of poker and have some money to burn. Price *is* an issue, so good deals are good.
I also want non-RPG game recommendations. Must-haves, if you will. Hit me. I know you guys know the ins and outs well enough to help me. |
