Official E3 Microsoft Conference Thread 2010

Arcade now discounted to $149, elite down to $249

The 2 killer apps, a dancing game and a fitness game. Microsoft just won over a billion casuals. Sony's only chance is to come up with something similiar using the eyetoy. Nintendo....well, they have a lot of work to do.

It's the other way around. Everyone else has to fight for a scrap of what Nintendo has.

New pricing:

Current Arcade: $149
Current 120gb model: $249
NEW 250 model: $299

Kinect+360 bundle coming in Nov.

 

[obonicus]

current elite now $249... Arcade $149 and new slim $299

Price drop when elites are out of stock?

 

[Arwin]

New Slim has digital audio out, more USB ports, power supply built in for the Kinect. Other Xbox's will have to have a separate power supply for the Kinect. Harddrive is in there, hidden behind a latch, slides in/out easily.

Current Arcade goes to 149, current Elite goes down as well (249?).

Kinect will be sold separately and in bundle with 360, but no pricing will be announced until later.

How small was the slim? Rumour has it, that it isn't that much smaller. Just wondering if that held true.

A pretty good show. Im quite impressed by the polish they showed for many of those games. In all an excellent start to E3.

It just needs to be less noisy , then its slim enough for me

The hdd is still removable but internal now so at a minimum that made is smaller. On the live feed it was easily noticeable that it was "slim".

Honestly, this seems like it's going to be a terrible E3. Sony's presentation probably won't be any better, and Nintendo's presentation will be... well, Nintendo's presentation.

EA conference in 1 hour 40

 

[holsty101]

Personally, MGSR was the best from the MS conference.
Surprisingly violent for a Kojima Production game.

 

[ShadowRunner]

Im not sure how to feel really. If they get the pricing for Kinect correct they will do well in the casual space. As a traditional gamer with no interest in casual games i feel kind of shafted though. Where are my games?

MS probably wait Sony move price to give the Kinect price.
