I may actually buy a Kinect in the near future.

Putting this up right before E3 obviously has an intention to it. I see MS's theme being "You don't need a new system." With all that has been upgraded on XBL, the inclusion of Kinect, and then what they reveal next week, I see them trying to reinforce the longevity of the 360 and steering away from a new console.


An interesting, and ugly, US sales chart Major Nelson has there. It needs to indicate prices somehow, as the 360 has held at the $199/$299 pricing for 3 years now.

I guess the Kinect rumors are true then. I can't wait to see how it's implemented.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

There is speculation that Microsoft is preparing to announce its long-awaited TV subscription service for its Xbox 360 video game console on Monday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the annual video game conference and show at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

In terms of games I'm expecting an even bigger disapointment than last year.

I don't understand this TV thing.
They want us to pay to watch TV on our 360 as opposed to just...ya know...turning it off and watching it normally. How is that useful or worth paying for?
