Can't tell from the picture but did they get rid of the memory card slots and USB slots on the new Xbox Slim?

Yeah, I gotta watch this sometime later. Though alot of it looks like stuff I won't give a damn about.

Have they mentioned it being quiet?

The amount of vents on this thing is hilarious

LOL at the first accounts of Red Rings in 3 months.

That's a lot of USB ports. Should make Harmonix happy.

It's going to be "whisper quiet."

Alright, bring on Zelda and Infamous 2.

3DS > Hype level or anything else.

Oh, yeah. That, too.

I'm also a little curious now about the Move after watching the Microsoft conference.

It's more like Kinect seems so out there because of the lack of a controller. But the Move is slightly closer to the "traditional" gaming idea.

I'm just curious how Sony is going to play its cards after a sup-par presentation of the Kinect.

True.

Who thought holding a multi-coloured light up dildo would be a plus point to the competition :shifty:

Turns out, buttons are important.

Or however the ad went.

We're touching the new, slimmer Xbox 360 right now at the Microsoft E3 event, and we've got more details on the console and its hardware. The new Xbox has touch-sensitive on/off and eject buttons and built-in 802.11n wi-fi. There are ports for optical audio, A/V, HDMI, and a custom port for the Kinect connection, as well as five USB ports. Only the standard A/V component cables come with the system (the same cables that come with the current model), so the HDMI cable is still separate. The power supply is all new and much smaller, and the console itself is "whisper quiet," with just one large fan instead of two, placed specifically on the side of the console to improve acoustics. The system makes a little chime when you flip it on as well, and the disc drive still sounds the same when it spins up.

The hard drive is 250GB, and there's a tab on the bottom that you can pull out to replace it if necessary. Transfer software is built into the system this time, so all you have to do is plug one end of the cable into the system, the other end into the hard drive, and then transfer away -- no disc needed. The case is black and glossy, smaller and thinner than the white version. The console will come with one wireless controller, and that controller will be backwards compatible with previous versions of the hardware. All of the accessories are black, including the chatpad. It feels lighter to hold than the original Xbox -- not that you'd be moving it around much.

We're continuing to prod and poke at the new hardware -- stay tuned for more details on the new Xbox 360 as E3 continues this week.

Tab for the hard drive? Is this a standard PC hard drive then, ala PS3?

Not sure, but everything else is PS3 like, so why not?

EA's conference is coming up.

Yeah, Justin.tv's ready. I'll blog it if Hasney's off jacking off.

OP updated for conference times. Major 3rd party publishers today.

Kinda related: Crysis 2 gets 3D :roll:

Everyone just got 3D glasses at the EA conference.

CLASSIC NEED FOR SPEED

Criterion's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Radio chatter... police chase. These cops aren't fucking around... they have A-class shit. Chopper joins in... prerendered visuals but it looks thrilling.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (no number, it's a reboot). Criterion developing.

"Reimagining Need for Speed."

"Autolog connects you to your friends, updates you on your friends gameplay. Like an in game Facebook."

Full career as both racer and cop.

Now this is Need for fucking Speed.

Cops pursuit assists return. Roadblock initiated.

Very fast, lots of sparks.

Digging them playing the game straight up. No forced cheesy taunting like at a typical Microsoft event

Wrecks are looking sexy.

You're busted when your ass gets demolished.

Nov. 16th.

"We're Sundance vs the Academy Awards."

Burn.

Dead Space 2 is next.
