It kind of busts my balls that everyone at the conference gets a free Xbox Slim.

I don't think anyone will NEED to "counter" Kinect's release...

On the end, when the 360 Slim was announced, THEY PULLED A SEGA SATURN!!! Also, what did they mean "on us"? Did the audience get the 360 Slim for free by Microsoft or that Microsoft was selling it on E3?

@garett and others

The consoles been out for years. they don't need to inform you before you make a decision to buy a console.

"SIR! Garett has just bought a 360."
"RELEASE THE NEW CONSOLE"

They don't owe you shit.

Kinect .... and I thought NATAL was a stupid name (not that MOVE is any better)

well it was MS best presentation ever. Gotta admit, Natal/Kinect will be used by people and developers will make a good profit maker out of it hitting Nintendo's fanbase hard.

Good job MS, gj!

That was utterly pathetic..

Microsoft and its 3rd parties should be ashamed. I knew they were going to copy the Wii, but even a Mario Kart clone?

Nintendo's creative teams had to be laughing their collective asses off somewhere. Stay tuned to Nintendo's conference tomorrow where Nintendo will announce what Microsoft will be doing 3 years from now.

Firstly the slim was traded a few days ago. There was no way I could know. Secondly WiFi should have been implimented in their machines a while ago. The 360 has been out for nearly 5 years now. Theirs no excuse for that kind of greed when the other guy is giving it to you in the box.

I wouldn't mind the new slim version. Hmmm, let's see how easy it will be to transfer stuff and I might pick it up. Getting a free console for being there? That's pretty damn nice. I once got a free beer cozy for signing up for a credit card. I guess that's not the same thing though.

Wow, MS's 10 year Xbox Anniversary was to celebrate them creating a slimmer console with built in wifi, 250 gig HD and a pointless camera. If only another company had done the same so very long ago, hmmmm.

360 is completely out of steam. Next E3 you'll see teasers for the next gen Xbox. They have nothing left in this gen.

No price yet means one of two things...

1. They're adjusting it from the $150 price point because of the outrage.
2. It's $150 or more.

Either way, a slimmer model with WiFi is a very smart 'MOVE'... oops.

Alot of the things we saw today are things that cannot be done on Wii or Playstation Move.

I'll be honest, after last night's jungle love madness I was expecting something horrible. But I'm actually impressed.

My only question is, what if you are watching ESPN on your XBOX, and a commercial comes on that says XBOX and some other word that triggers KINECT to execute some command. If SONY is smart they'll make commercials strictly based on KINECT voice commands. It would be hilarious.

Why is it we don't know how much this costs yet? That's ridiculous. Unless I just missed it.

@proto - you missed nothing. They didn't say, see my post above on why thats not a good thing for consumers.

@RegginBolas

Move and Kinect are similar in that they are considered "motion controlled", but the implementation is far different, and truth be told, I'd say Move looks like more fun. Also, to your comment:

"Yeah fuck ya'll. I'm buying this shit just so I can proudly say I never caved in to the Wii."

You deserve a congratulatory piece of food of some kind, for this gem.
