hey everyone
so a while back i heard about this kinect thing that basically is like a motion senior (kinda like the eye toy thingy playstation has) and i was pretty intrested by it, when i first found out about it microsoft were keeping it pretty quiet and i was thinking it was just gonna be like an accesory thing that you plug into your xbox 360.
now the medias going on about this new xbox that is ready for kinect with the motto "out today, ready for tomorrow" or something like that.
so please correct me if im wrong but do i have to go out and buy this new xbox (which will probly be rediculously expensive) and then buy this kinect thing seperatly later on (which will probly be expensive aswell)
why cant they just release this kinect motion sensor accesory to work with the currect xbox 360.
ive had my xbox 360 for 4 years now and ive had to have it sent off to get repaired twice because of the red ring of death (a stupid hardware problem) and i really dont feel like spending hundreds of dollars on a new xbox that may or may not work considering now much they screwed up with the 360's design (making the cooling fan smaller to allow room for the dvd drive causing the xbox to overheat cos the fans to small to cool down the console)
whats everyones oppinion on this new xbox and this kinect thing, also any info would be apprieciated as i dont know all the details.
EDIT: ok so i looked on wiki and kinect will work on all xbox 360 models, so why would i want this new xbox thats being released, whats so special about it, so it comes with a 250gb hard drive, so its aparently 'whisper quiet' (currect xbox should be quiet)
what is so special about this new xbox?
