Wife just got to see all the Kinect stuff. Needless to say, the dance game amongst others will be in my household this fall. She loves the Wii but immediately goes "sell it, get this", right there with ya. Wii is history for me in about 3 months.

Yes, the prices dropped on the current stock. Arcade is now $149 and the Elite is $249. MS is going to try and clear these out with new system coming later this week. There are so many of these out that I can see the old bundles lasting for sometime at these prices. Getting an Arcade with a cheap HDD is a good way to go for some.

Re: E3 2010: Microsoft Conference

Does anyone know when the ESPN thing comes out?

Re: E3 2010: Microsoft Conference

With the new 360 does this mean we will no longer have to deal with a SKU without a HDD?

Re: E3 2010: Microsoft Conference

The more i think about it and MS's press conference....

i am really probably excited about the whole ESPN thing they brought on that could be interesting.

I could see this XBOX360 slim being in a price cut by the holiday's and being bundled with "Kinect" which would probably be the smart thing for me to wait for to buy.

I want more MS exclusives and more studios from MS if that makes sense i am tired of Halo and Gears every year i want more adventure games and other type of concepts

Tiko or anyone else?...........Did they mention anything about what they did internally to the new system? Did they cut more corners in giving us the console version of a pinto or did they really fix what was wrong with all the frequent breakdowns?

It makes no sense to phase out the Arcade, unless they plan to introduce an equivalent stripped down slim.

yea, the NEW 360 will be available as an arcade (no HDD) when the old stock is gone... you can bank on it.

I wonder how they'd do that though. When the ps3 slim replaced the fat models, it did so with a price drop to $300, and Sony phased out the older models with bundles or retailer price drops.

Getting rid of the lower priced arcade entirely and only selling a $300 model seems pretty stupid really. MS has a lower price advantage that a cheaper to manufacture slim 360 should only improve on. It makes no sense at all to actually raise the cost of entry this many years into the console's lifespan.

You can actually argue that this should have been a bundle WITH natal for $299, and I actually see MS doing exactly that this holiday.
