Microsoft has all the info on their new system, up at their website:

Condemned and Full Auto Xbox360 footage:

Gamespot and IGN have several games listed:

MTV has more videos (they should be shot for not detecting my FF WMV plugin; I hope they don't have spyware cause I have to use IE now):

    What happened to the days when gamers were nerds. What the hell happened to my favorite subculture.

    I haven't seen too much yet, but the little that I have seen, looks worse than Doom3 or HL2 on a good rig.

    "The basic gesture of the new console is a double concavity. It's derived from the idea of an inhale."

    It's not looking too good, Microsoft.

    PDZ looks like garbage by 2001's standards. Meanwhile, Kameo is looking very nice. It makes you wonder if two different companies are working on these games. Looking at Joanna Dark close up and that soldier peering around the corner will tell you all you need to know about where the game is headed.

    I've yet to see a Gears of War trailer, but if UE3 runs as well on x360 as Mark Reign says it does, then it's a very good sign for the first wave of games. It can only get graphically better from there. And contrary to what alot of people have said about DOA4, I think it looks great for a next gen title.

    Stolen by the jocks and drunken college frat boys Consoles target these days.

    On a side note, my roommate has gone through seven... thats 7 Xboxes. The rest died ... i have no idea why he keeps buying them since none of them were covered under the warrenty he bought with the console. Half the time Microsoft's tech help basicly told him "you're screwed... buy a new one kekeke" Does it sound like company you want to buy a $300 machine from? Just upgrade your computers people...

    All nerds are gamers, but not all gamers are nerds.

    I watched some more trailers. Kameo looks decent, albeit uninventive. Quake4 looks 100% identical to a hypothetical UT2K5. Gears of War looks very interesting. Ghost recon looks pretty sweet.

    Still, there's nothing yet that makes it worth buying, since I'm not a big fan of sports games, racing games, or console FPSs.

    Not true. Visit a college computer science department. You will actually find many nerds who aren't gamers.


    They are lesser forms of human beings and should be smited. Except the hot chick.

    My thoughts on the 'trailers,' at least those I bothered watching in full:

    Quake4: Will not comment, obvious reasons. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> But of course I hope you like it and will continue to follow it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    The Darkness: Excited to see Starbreeze's next. I forgot this was in development, but I'll definitely keep an eye on it.
    Call of Duty 2: More CoD. Gotta love it. I'll probably get the PC version, though.
    Gears of War: Highly impressive. If they can pull that off at solid framerates, it could be a winner.
    Perfect Dark Zero: Bleh.
    Ghost Recon 3: Never been a fan of the series, but holy crap this looks awesome. Nicely done graphics, a little stylized from the screens I've seen, and what looks like a killer interface.

    Then there's the pre-rendered ones... all the EA games, it seems, that Saint's Row, and I think PGR3 as well if I recall. EA's got balls showing the same pre-rendered hypothetical "we think we can do this" movie they've had for well over a year now. I'm going to laugh my **** off when they ship a game that looks a) nothing like that or b) runs at 2fps.

    They do have wired controllers, too. If they're anything like the Wavebird (although I doubt Microsoft can make a controller as awesome as the Wavebird), you'll have to change batteries very rarely.

    PDZ actually looked <b>good</b> when it was in development for the GC

    Rare hasn't released anything good since the move to miscrosoft. Thank god that the good devs had the sense to leave, and form Free Radical.

    Like someone mentioned earlier either here or on some other forum, when moms and dads all march out to get there kids a christmas present or whatever, and the choice is either the PS3, or <i>would be</i> Xbox 2, the parent having no idea would assume a third is better then the second.

    Hence 360, to level the... buying field.

    Did anyone else watch that godawful MTV special? It was pretty much a highlight of everything wrong with MTV... they had the guys from Pimp My Ride mod an Xbox for some reason, they showed virtually no gameplay footage, they spent about 5 minutes total actually talking about the Xbox 360 and not doing retarded "hip" crap. I wanted my half hour back.
