Also, Stino, Your facts are bullshit, It says on the Microsoft page that it comes with a 20gb hard drive. No comments on the price, or backwards compatibility yet.

There's going to be a dozen different colored face plates you can put on it.

I'm guessing there is no comment yet because they aren't sure if it will be or not. The media reading is easy. The hard part is emulating an Xbox on the Xbox 360 due to the completely different hardware. I believe they also need to pay Nvidia to emulate the former video system. I think it can be done, but they don't want to say anything and risk it not working out.

Went from 4 controllers to 2...why?
Because they are greedy bastards and want to force you to buy the connector or Xbox live in order to play a good multiplayer.

How is it gonna be backwards compatible then? The other two screens are imaginary? In regards to controllers, what is the benefit of wireless controllers? You're sitting down anyways. It's not a fucking cell phone, you don't have to move

I can't believe they're doing that.... 
I was watching my local news channel, and it had a short story on this. It actually showed some people playing some 360s, and what appeared to be on the TVs was Halo 2, as I saw someone running around with what appeared to be a battle rifle....

Huh? Those two slots are for memory units. All of the controllers are wireless, you can have as many controllers active as there are frequencies...

I despise wireless controllers. And what makes it worse is that you only have 2! With wireless contollers you have to make sure that that the game recieves the signal otherwise it won't work. Damn they are making the Xbox 360 lame as hell.

Wait, who says you can only have two? Didn't SM just say the two slots were for Memory Cards? Anyway, I like Wireless Controllers, except for the fact that they require batteries.

I might get it just to play single player games that'll come out. It seems so...so....so unattractive now that it doesn't have anything that's really...attractive?
It's like Microsoft is trying not to make it sell.

No cords to get caught up, no cords to rip out in the middle of the game. And, quite frankly, unless you somehow really fuck up the controller, or are trying to play from the next room or something stupid like that, a signal should get through. I think you might be able to use 3 USB controllers, as there are 3 USB ports. One is just on the back. I personally would love to have wireless standard, as wired controllers are far more of a pain.

And he was wrong, dumbshit.
Oh yeah, you're really adding to this discussion smart. I'm glad to see you decided to make that well-thought out, and, if I may say so, eloquent post. It has enlightened me beyond what I have previously thought possible. Your words have not gone unheard.
Jackass.
