I think it looks cool, looks like a hunk of metal that shoots a lot of cold air. Will make a good fan... And gaming console.

Have you ever had a 360 before ??

I think it'll be more like a 'Heater' blowing hot air rather than a 'Fan' blowing cold air
(Any1 remember red-ring-of-death ???)

Yes, I have a 360 but I'm never close enough to it to feel what kind of air shoots out. lol Ive had my 360 for years now, only problem I ran into was when I failed to hack it and it broke.

I can only assume they'll f**k up this xbox too. If you've ever seen the amount of thermal paste they used you'd be suprised that it was apllied by someone who wasn't in preschool. And the fans...-_-' the air just goes in then out right away!

Well, after seeing the E3, it does seem to be smaller than the original X360
Though not much

But it'll have the same price

Lucky guys getting them for free

THOSE UTTER UTTER BASTARDS!!!
I bought my 360 Elite last year for £200 thinking it was a good deal (at the time it was). Later that year they dropped the price to £200 as an RRP, ok. Now they come out with a new hardware revision that's 10x better than my one (mainly due to built in Wi-Fi)
FUUUUUU-

Anyway, the damned thing's still fugly but it is a huge improvement and the lack of price increase is really good but just begs the question "Why couldn't you have built Wi-Fi into the Elite?"

I wouldn't go that far. I was just making a joke in the first part of my post.

The main thing I hope will come from this is that the wireless adapter will take a price hit. PLEASE GOD LET THAT ADAPTER TAKE A PRICE HIT! I don't care about Wireless N as my network is on Wireless G but I do not want to pay £40-50 for an adapter to get my 360 wireless.

It's worth noting the power supply is built in, which is probably the reason it doesn't look that much smaller. Atleast it doesn't have a brick as the power supply.


Edit: OK that's BS, Engadget did say in their first article the PSU had been moved into the case. Oh well.

I actually like how it looks, but that still doesn't make me crave to get one. Needs more good games.

Agreed. Only way i see myself getting one is if something happens to my current 360 (Which i literally just got 4ish months ago since its the FF13 Bundle), or if Gamestop or some other store does some epic trade-in/upgrade deal or something.

Wi-Fi isnt that much of a selling point (Because i know how bad Wi-Fi on PS3 is at times, even when its right next to my router), and i already have a 250 Gig drive (Which even has FF13 in shiny letters on the top

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways

    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market

    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus

    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term

    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
