Ace 3,645 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Microsoft has launched a slimmer and more powerful Xbox 360. The new console - to be launched this week - will have the same price as the old system, but comes with Wi-Fi and a 250 GB HD. It follows a similar move by Sony which released its own slimmer edition in August 2009. The announcement was made ahead of the E3 games convention in Los Angeles, at which the firm showcased its range of forthcoming games. The event also saw the first public viewing of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the latest edition in the popular Call of Duty series. The new edition is set during the Vietnam War and takes the players through the tunnels of South Vietnam and into the jungles of Laos. The game will hit the shops on 9 November this year. New deal Microsoft said a new deal with Call of Duty's publisher Activision would see all add-on and map packs for the game being released on Xbox 360 first, and that this deal would last for the next three years. The event, less than 12 hours after it unveiled the final version of its hands-free control system Kinect, also had offerings from Hideo Kojima, the man behind the Metal Gear Solid series with Metal Gear Solid: Rising; Gears of War 3; Fable 3; and Halo Reach, the latest in the long running series. Microsoft also fleshed out details of the games, as well as software that will be supported by Kinect. After the success of Wii Sports from rival Nintendo, it was unsurprising that Microsoft are to follow suit, with Kinect Sports boasting six different events, from javelin, to boxing and volleyball. The firm also demonstrated Kinectimals, a virtual pet that allows users to adopt and play their favourite animals. Kinectwill launch on 4 November 2010 in North America, with Europe expected to follow a few weeks later. Microsoft said they there will be 15 different Kinect titles at launch. The firm hopes these news games will help it stay ahead of its arch-rival, Sony PlayStation, which has seen a resurgence in sales over recent months. Last year, the firm unveiled a number of games that were once the sole domain of the PlayStation, such as Grand Theft Auto and Assassins Creed. Exclusivity An exclusive title can mean a significant lift to hardware sales, as gamers are forced into a single platform if they want to actually play it. Halo did much to boost the Xbox 360 when it was launched, as did Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation 3. However, the price difference between the two systems at the time meant that there were more sales for Microsoft's system than Sony. Since the two systems launched an unofficial price war has been waged between the two firms, with Sony reducing the price of the PS3 from £420 at launch to £249.99 ($299 in the US) and Microsoft now selling its Xbox 360 Elite for £199 (down from its original £299 price tag at launch). Both firms say that their price cuts are not influenced by competitors decisions. Sony has denied that there will be a any further reduction in price for the PlayStation 3 at E3, with Sony's UK Sales Director - Mark Howsen - telling the British games industry magazine MCV that there' had been "no discussion internally about that at all". "We're enjoying good year-on-year growth and as long as that continues we'll keep on going I think". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10316313.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinGers93 388 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 How much would needed to be added if I traded an Elite in?Well what is the Elite now £180? i would say you would get £80 or £90 i think for your elite so i would say £90 or £100. I would get fuck all as i got the 360 about 6 months after it came out so i have one of the original ones and it's broke on me twice. Once about under 2 years after getting and about 3 weeks before Gears of War 2 and i had pre-ordered it and i couldn't play it but this new one is supposed to have stopped all the red ring problems.

I just really want the new one. It looks classy as fuck. Just found thisThinking of upgrading your old 360 to a shiny new Xbox 360 S next month? GAME's got you covered.The UK retailer has announced a list of trade-in offers available in store that should help spending out on the upgrade more bearable.The list is as follows, with the price you see the price you pay when you trade in the appropriate console:XBOX 360 ELITE £99.99XBOX 360 60GB PRO £119.99XBOX 360 20GB PRO £139.99PS3 SLIM 120 GB £24.99PS3 80GB £59.99PS3 40GB £69.99NINTENDO Wii £124.99GAME's also taking pre-orders for the new Xbox 360 S over on its website, which you can access by clicking the link to your rightThe new console, which doesn't appear to be available in any bundles, retails at £199.99 and features integrated wireless 802.11n WiFi and a 250GB hard drive.It launches in Europe on July 16th.Remember you will lose all your game saves if you trade it in and all your arcade games etc and i also saw that it only gives you AV cables so if you want HD you will have to buy Component cables or an HDMI cable seperate which i think is crap because you got them with the console before.
