see the size of the power brick??? holy crap! :blink:

i guess they don;t want any more catching fire.

Jebus, that thing is huge!!

I wanna get back into gaming.....havent played anything since GT3 was 1st released!! :o

it looks like a Dell computer.

Meesa think they were Slashdotted... oh wait, here it comes now.

Pass... it looks like someone got a Mac drunk at a Dell Christmas party, and this is the bastard offspring.

I wonder how far that power brick will fly...

Is that yours Steve?

nope...

I've been offered one tho... but I'm passing on it and going for the PS3. Since I passed on the pre-release unit, if I change my mind now, I'll have to wait for opening day...

:lol: Too true

Looks like an external PSU (literally). They wanted the small Dell like case, and couldn't fit a near standard sized psu into it. Neat idea if you ask me.

I definatly have one of those on my got to have list! Not anytime soon though... my current XBOX Crystal is just fine. Plus, I want to see more backward compatability. The number of pluses for this newer system is nuts, it's just without the backward compatability it'd be a waste imo, having to purchase the same games all over again. Besides, I won't get any money for my current XBOX games, so why bother?

Currently, it's backwards compatible with about 200+ games, and with Live, they'll be able to automatically add support for the other games over time.

No kidding! I thought it was only Halo? I beleive I read that in that review from the guy that won the system early. (Doritos contest)

It's scheduled for May so far... I'd expect it to change.

The guy who won the Xbox-360 works with me here at Fido/Rogers, though strangely, hes been calling in sick ever since the day he won the unit.
