The little sideway console is the motion detection box i believe, some shit they marketed awhile ago that obviously flopped.

word haha

I guess project Natal is now known as Kinect, and that's what the sideways thing is beside the new xbox.

Didn't flop. It was shown today in the E3 convention on Spike. They changed the name from Project Natal to Kinect.

I traded my old Wii for an Xbox 360 Elite to a guy on craigslist...so I'm happy with what I've got. New console does look sick though.

What are the dimensions? It doesn't really look all that slim....simply more, to borrow a business term, 'ergonomic'

Is this one not going to roflstomp all over your copy of Red Dead Redemption a week after you buy it? I'm never buying a microsoft console product again, shit is ridiculous. PC gaming only from now on.

Either way, I don't think it is worth it to give up your old one, as long as it isn't like 2 years old with mad probs. Oh wait, looks like I'm getting one.

Ergonomic - 'The applied science of equipment design, as for the workplace, intended to maximize productivity by reducing operator fatigue and discomfort'

ex: This new 360 is more ergonomic because it is less bulky and more efficient

And I use the term 'business' loosely, as in reference to corporations and it's obsessions with ergonomics

Kineseology, the science of human movement, would in fact be the correct field from which this term is derived, but most people are not Kineseologists, and would have no idea what the fuck I was talking about.

Thank you for padding your resume with that minor correction, I really appreciate it.

if you're gonna buy the older model for cheap now, act quickly, because they aren't making them anymore
