@Howie Feltersnatch Am I the only one seeing this big white gap between the post and the tags?

Where's that video Joystiq?!

@Howie Feltersnatch still has a giant power brick, the PS3 Slim has it built into the console. Other than that I like the 3 rear USB ports.

@Annoying Adam :: Yeah, but Joystiq says they are giving away theirs in a competition or something on the site.

@Annoying Adam

It annoys me how they handle a brand new console carelessly. They don't seem like they give a shit.

Whenever I get something new, I always treat it carefully.

Take care of your stuff and it will take care of you.

I wonder how Sony and Nintendo will top this... maybe giving away some booth babes?

And while Sony is giving away booth babes, Nintendo will give everyone in the crowd an adopted child or something....

Donald Duck, I don't want to pull the idiot card on you, but who the f*ck gets a new console 2 weeks before E3? THE place known for announcements on price drops, new consoles, and other bundles. C'mon dude.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze I'm kind of one of those idiots, too.

I just bought a new PSP3000... hopefully there's no PSP2 announcement tomorrow.

I couldn't resist the sexy green PSP. =/

I wonder who in the press is going to keep theirs? Yeah, there's all this "no gifts" rules this and that, but if MS is giving the whole audience a brand spanking new 360 they must know about the press/company protocols.

I kinda wish MS just had their own giveway to like the first 500 people at special event or something.

@Bluebreaker Actually, there are many members of the press that will keep theirs. Joystiq just has a philosophy of giving away everything as a means of preventing bias. There isn't a universal code or anything.

i think it looks great and is a good buy for new customers, but for those upgrading it isn't worth it unless your xbox and HDD die

Yeah, a real value for the new guys.

A sad tuba noise for current and loyal customers. (though some of us bought it a good price anyway, it's not all bad.

I'm honestly not trying to say this as a fanboy, because honestly I'm happy about what Microsoft has done with their natal-kinect thing, but I don't seem to see much news beyond that and the new form factor, and a couple of games. I'm seriously asking if I missed some other anouncment because if I remember correctly, Last years confrence was quite a bit more epic.

@crazypeng1 I haven't seen or heard of anything beyond this. I'll personally say that I think the Ubisoft fitness game thing was pretty epic - on more of a casual level obviously. I'd have to go with Bulletstorm for the hardcore stuff, which isn't Microsoft.

Unfortunately, MS's conference shared A LOT of similarities with Nintendo's previous events.

There was the obligatory first party titles you'd expect, but the rest of the conference? All about the casual games.

Oh no, I'd agree with you.
Hopefully Sony doesn't do the same thing tomorrow with Move that MS did today with Kinect. And I'm expecting BIG things from Nintendo. (which i shouldn't...)

Yeah, their E3 conference kindda sucked. Only things really worthwhile (I felt) were MGS: Rising (which I have mixed feelings on: looks awesome, but isn't a really a MGS) and Gears 3 (badass). Both of these games had already been announced, though.

Can't imagine Sony's being much better, what with having announced loads of new games already. Same with Nintendo. This year's E3 seems a bit lame.

$20 for a transfer cable is one hell of a ripoff.

Although I do think you have the warranty thing wrong. It was always a 1 year limited warranty, with an unlabeled 3 year warranty in cases of RRoD and e74.

Especially for something you'll only need 1 time.

With no new software necessary, there's bound to be a DIY work-around on the cheap.

I guess up until yesterday you could ask for a free data transfer cable from Xbox support if you upgraded by buying a new console.
