Sold Out everywhere, gamestop employees said they had over 100 calls to see if its available. Guess people like the redesign. I prepaid mine today but I have to wait till it ships. The 249.99 Forza 3, Odst Elitebundle at Gamestop is another awesome deal.

yeah, and so are the old ones.
but thats a given, a price drop on the old ones, and the new ones are new...so its given there will be a blip on the hardware sales.

It doesn't really mean much the same thing happens with the slim.

I got the redesign new xbox 360 just for Kinect, Kinect will be fun IMO and I love being the controller and just having the ability to watch ZUNE 1080P 5.1 and give the xbox voice commands, they will continue to build on Kinect, its a nice thing to have for your entertainment center regardless of what hardcore games might say, they are the minority.

Its because best buy is an actual capable company that knows how to stock its products and deliver to its customers. Gaming wise the best buys and futureshops are the best place for new games/consoles. They have 50X the stock of gamestop/EB games etc etc. And the restock very often.

Doesn't change that I have yet to see any potential for Kinect. MAYBE somewhere in the future. But at the moment it has even more gimmicky/shovel ware classified games than the Wii. =|

What's wrong with this thread? A topic in System Wars discussing the popularity of the newly released Xbox 360 Slim. Everything seems in order. Why are you so upset?

It is sold in Las Vegas, and I am on the reserve list for July 9. One GameStop employee said the closest place to get one in relation to me is in Utah.

I completely disagree, I mean yeah it might not have a killer lineup of games, but sure I would do the boxing, the bowling, the HR hitting contest, and I would use it everytime I was ZUNE when I wanna watch a 1080P or a digital download. Kinect is going to evolve and its going to be very nice to have for the ones who wanna appreciate it.

I should rephrase. Kinect will not bring anything great to people who want to play games like Gears of War, Halo, or even Racing games. They showed Forza at E3, yes? Why play like that when the steering wheel controllers are much better, and bring you a lot more closer to realism than just having your hands in the air in front of you? Can you see Kinect really working with shooters like Halo and Gears of War? How is it going to be integrated into these games that make the price tag worth it? How is it going to be integrated into games without being gimmicky? How is it going to be integrated into games that aren't shovelware and/or so casual it doesn't affect the hardcore gamers? I change my mind...Kinect has a lot of potential...to be an overpriced remote control when it comes to watching movies or listening to music.

The only positive way it could be integrated into games is if you were able to manipulate things in a game like you could in Zack & Wiki, but it would require a lot of effort to make them feel immersive and not tacky, like mini-games. And no ones going to spend the time and money doing that. Instead, they'll spend minimal money and pump out mini-game shovelware like the Kinect launch games.

Why play like that when the steering wheel controllers are much better, and bring you a lot more closer to realism than just having your hands in the air in front of you? Can you see Kinect really working with shooters like Halo and Gears of War? How is it going to be integrated into these games that make the price tag worth it? How is it going to be integrated into games without being gimmicky? How is it going to be integrated into games that aren't shovelware and/or so casual it doesn't affect the hardcore gamers? I change my mind...Kinect has a lot of potential...to be an overpriced remote control when it comes to watching movies or listening to music.

The only positive way it could be integrated into games is if you were able to manipulate things in a game like you could in Zack & Wiki, but it would require a lot of effort to make them feel immersive and not tacky, like mini-games. And no ones going to spend the time and money doing that. Instead, they'll spend minimal money and pump out mini-game shovelware like the Kinect launch games.

But that's the thing. I don't see it being integrated properly without making it seem like mini games. Look at Milo & Kate and Fable 3. Peter Molyneux is the lead designer in both games. Kinect has all these things that have been integrated into Milo and Kate. Yet in an actual game like Fable 3 - the gamer can only touch people (no, I am not being rude - not in a sick way - I hope...). This is the guy who showed us all these - small, insignificant moves you can do in Milo and Kate, yet there is even less in an actual RPG.

Saw some 360's in Walmart when I went there today. Basing fact on your local stores isn't reliable. :P

looks like the gap between PS3 and 360 is going to widen again

PS3 closed that gap with the Slim sales and now 360 is going to run ahead again with their Slim sales

...interesting

I find these and the "My friends say I should get a PS3/360, what do you think" threads the most annoying to be honest.

well if you think about it, it would mostly be widening the gap superficially. a ton of people who already have a 360 will be upgrading to the new one and that does not expand their user base as much as it will on paper. to be fair, the same could be said for the ps3 slim. i for one am not a fan of all these new hardware versions coming out, just get it right the first time.
