Is the netflix thing coming with the NBX, it seemed like this was going to be delayed. I hope it launches with it.

Dammit, why can't they give more "mature" (ie better) games with the Elite?

Yup, just as I predicted many moons ago. The 360 is this gens PS2. 360's will be flying off the shelves my friends.

totally. with a PS2-ish pricing and last gen PS2 exclusive franchises hopping on board, it's not far fetched to say it is this gen's PS2.

@ erico316

I would argue that the Wii is in a new category and can't compare to the PS2 as directley as the Xbox360 can. A huge install base with lackluster 3rd party sales does not a PS2 comparison make. Not mention how many Wii's are just Wii Sports machines only.
The PS2 had huge 3rd party sales and so does the Xbox 360. It's just that the install base is not there, yet....

Does anyone know whether the Netfix streaming will require a HDD?
I imagine it would.

I don't know, maybe it just caches to RAM?

The Roku Netflix Player doesn't have a hard drive and all it does it stream netflix, so i don't think that 360 would require one:

Will netflix be on the USA side or both? Right now it is US only, so will this free trial allow me to use netflix?

I wonder how the free netflix trial is any different than going to their website (netflix) and getting the standard netflix free trial. Seems like something more to try and lure you in that really is nothing special to buying a new holiday bundle xbox, but I could be wrong.

I just got my gold messenger bundle in the mail and it too advertises a free netflix trial, and just says to go to www.xbox.com/netflixretail and that's it, no subscription card or anything, so that is in fact just another advertisement anybody is eligible for.

This comment is relevant to this thread.

I don't know why people wouldn't want to know about a chance to win an Xbox 360.

I wonder if these new bundles will all contain the new Jasper motherboards? I've been waiting to buy a 360 until I can indentify one by it's packaging

Man I'm glad I bought my 360 last year, I mean Lego Indiana Jones is probably fun but Kung Fu Panda?

So what do you think Microsoft's idea is with having kid games with the Elite. To my knowledge, the elite is for the ultra game nerds. Little kids get the arcade or the pro.
