All Xbox 360 owners that also own a PS3 will no doubt want this. I say that because of the new Wi-Fi capabilities of this new and improved Xbox 360. One less wire to worry about. From the look and design of the machine there is no place for “RINGS”. Does that mean no more “RED RINGS OF DEATH”!?!?!? If so Microsoft has really made a giant leap forward. As said in the MS Conference article the new console is being shipped now. And will be available at stores later this week and next week the latest. Really want to get your hands on one. Amazon .com would be your best bet.

New Xbox 360:

250GB HDD: Pulls right out.  No tools needed.

Wi-Fi

Kinect Ready

5 USB Ports

Laptop Lockdown

HDMI Outlet

Headset

The things that Microsoft have in store for us are unbelievable. The games of course and all the cool things that Kinect will bring to your gaming and home entertainment world. Microsoft has a time sensitive exclusive with Activision for the next 3 years. This is for the Call of Duty franchise. Microsoft also announced a new exclusive with Crytec. A ton of trailers and Demo’s will be shown. Make sure you keep your eyes on this spot. We have Metal Gear Rising, Call of Duty Black Ops, and Gears of War 3.

Metal Gear Rising is a sword wielding action game. The emphasis is all on Zan-Datsu. Cut. Cut What You Want. Cut What You Will. The Gears of War 3 demo was spectacular. Cliff Bleszinski and crew demoed a 4 player co-op that was just unbelievable. Gun swapping anyone!?!?!?!? This will be one of the best games in 2011, hands down. The Call of Duty Black Ops demo rocked. Dare I say It’s better than Modern Warfare. Well the game play seemed to be so much better. Fable 3 will release on October 26, 2010. look for the new trailer. Halo reach drops September 14 2010. Also the trailer is forth coming. ESPN on Xbox Live.  Lastly Microsoft announced a contract with Lucas Arts for Kinect games.

Microsoft’s Kinect has super precise control. It also has voice control. Selecting applications and going through them are only a voice command away. Video Kinect will be available on both Xbox Live and Windows Messenger. Video chat with friends and family whenever you want. Pretty cool. Kinect has six launch games for it. Most are kid or family games.

Truly The Biggest event in gaming. Nothing gets any hardcore gamer as excited as E3. It doesn’t matter where you are. This is the time to look forward to the next step in gaming evolution. At this years E3 we will be shown the spectacle of all things concerning the latest in gaming hardware and software. Microsoft will show off it’s new hardware.

But there will be so much shown this week that no one except me will miss it. Stay tuned and enjoy.

Project Natal is one of the biggest talked about projects to be a part of this years E3. It has been Officially renamed KINECT. Also the new “Slim” Xbox 360 has been unveiled. More on both the Xbox Slim and KINECT to be revealed today and tomorrow.

With E3 coming next week. The little things that are being let to slip through the cracks are just adding to the excitment of what we already know will be a blockbuster event. Only as box art it stirs the blood. Continue to look for at least a trailer of Meal Gear Rising.

Microsoft isn’t holding back when it comes to their premier editions. Halo Reach doesn’t come out until September. But it may take you that long to save up for these expensive edition.  As of late I personally have not been pleased with Microsoft. Aside from all the extra in these super deluxe packages. I’m looking for Halo reach to totally rock. My 360 has been collecting dust. and I really need something to make me play my Xbox.

The Limited Edition $79.99 come with this:

Oni black box -holding the game

Exclusive Elite Armor For Multiplayer

Artifact Bag Containing Dr. Halsey’s personal journal and effects that explore the history of the Halo Universe.

Since this the” last’ game in the Halo series I would save some money and go with the Legendary Edition . It may be your last chance to own some cool Halo stuff.
