Microsoft upset over leaked images of the 360

Microsoft gets what they get for dealing with MTV. I personally think that's hilarious. And they weren't even going to show the console? Pathetic!
As far as the launch titles - smart move; I definitely see a range that large as helping to move consoles in the months immediately after the holiday season, which will be even more crucial than the holidays themselves if Microsoft wants to build any sort of comfortable lead before PS3 launches.

I like it! If it's true. Guess it is, otherwise MS wouldn't be upset about it...
But yeah, it's MTV. Like getting upset if your dog eats the burger you left on the table while going for a leak.

I don't think they'd sue MTV, regardless of what were to get leaked by them. Talk about PR backlash! If they're targetting the MTV demographic, the last thing they would ever want to do is rally that demographic against themselves by suing the very channel who's fanbase they were originally trying to acquire.
how well do racing games work in America? AFAIK the biggest market for racing games is definately Europe - and I'm not even sure it will even launch overhere before 2006.
Strangely, my favorite genre is the racing one, and I'm not in the least excited about any upcoming racer on Xbox2. Perhaps the one from Namco, depending what it turns out to be, but Ridge Racer V IMO left a lot to be desired... I'd probably even buy it, but buying Xbox2 because of that 1 title is surely out of the question. For that it would need either a Gran Turismo class racer or something more akin to the original Need for Speed (of course all at 60 fps, that means car reflections too).

screenshots would be nice...
I was about to post the same thing, but when you read the entire sentance, something isn't quite right:
If the price of $399 is for an Xbox360 + a game + the harddrive, wouldn't that nullfy the reason to drive the harddrive seperately, as they can get it at a very very good deal?
The above sentence, while very specific in that it's the price for with the harddrive, is awefully confusing in the following subset.

Four-hundred bucks? Heh. Microsoft may just be leaving the door wide open for Sony.
Personally, I'm kind of relieved. Pricing like that will give me another reason to wait. I typically buy hardware on launch day or soon after, but it's getting to be a pain finding room for all these consoles. Besides, I have a ton of current games I need to finish.
If the rumor is true, perhaps "Halo 2.5" will be the catalyst to sell these higher-priced systems... Myself, I find the Halo games to be some of the most repetitive and uninvolving titles I've ever played... another reason I'm feeling lukewarm about the whole thing.
Kind of funny to me that for a company that wants so badly to pry the living room from Sony's hands, they don't seem to be putting their (considerable) money where their mouths are. They're the underdogs; I expected them to fight a lot harder and scrappier than this.
Guess the losses they sustained with Xbox really made them blink. Not good when you're up against Sony and PS3.
