I saw that 360 new disc format beta preview program on Major Nelson's website earlier, I wish Canada was also included in on the program as well. Sounds quite interesting and certainly makes the rumour of Microsoft not launching a system until 2015 more feasible. I still think that date is a bit too far away but increasing disc space would certainly help extend the 360's lifespan.

Yeah, I dig it.  Very un-Microsoft to be this adventurous, but then the consumer group at MS has it's own ethos.

I guess it's a true beta test, not like when a publisher puts out a beta of a game as a promo, so it has it's risks -- but I like that kind of spirit.

Well it does also make sense for them to continue stretching this gen out as long as possible because they've been riding high on both the 360 Slim release and Kinect launch.

Exactly.  The Slim has been gold for them, as well it should.  They'd be nuts not to squeeze that for as long as they can.

Though, some clarification, I know it's been addressed here before.  True or false on these:

  1. The only SKU's on the 360 any more is a 4GB internal or a 250 GB.
  2. It's essentially impossible to find a 250 GB that is not budled with a Kinect.

That is what I have heard in the US.  Is that the case? Or in Canada or Australia or EU?

As a sidenote.  I still have a 12GB 360 which has 7 GB free.  I have a 60 GB PS3 which I constantly have to un-install stuff of when I get a new game :

So has Blizzard solved the piracy issue?  (always online, reasonable price) Launching anything in China is pretty ballsy.  I have no idea was $3 means to your average Chinese citizen.  Like I know that there are vast extremes in lifestyle there, but I'm thinking $3 US has a lot more value to the Chinese than it would in the nations we all get to enjoy living in.

I already know what EA's MMO is going to be. Anyone paying attention around GDC time would know. Probably just some journalist trying to stir up a mystery by stating it in that way.

Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning is going to be a single player, RPG / God of War style game, but EA has already said it was just going to be a precursor to a grand-scale MMO!

Yeah as far as I know there is two different SKU's for the 360, the one with 4GB internal memory and the 250GB HDD one. There are drives available to buy separate but I'm pretty sure you are better off just getting the 250GB version instead. I have seen both the 250GB 360's without the Kinect bundled in here in Canada at my local Wal-mart but I'm not sure how many and how often they are kept in stock as I'm not always checking. I'll take a look sometime this week because I have been increasingly interested in picking one up for the bigger HDD and I'd still like to get a Kinect sometime. I may just go for the Kinect bundle though to.

I currently have a 120GB for my 360 and am always uninstalling and installing games on it because I have so many games and a bunch of DLC on it so a bigger HDD is of great interest for me. I have the 250GB PS3 and I have LOT'S  of room on it and love it. Of course I don't have the same amount of games and DLC on it as the 360, yet.

Anybody here get one of those Razer Onza Xbox controllers yet? I'm honestly not surprised that Razer would better the best console controller currently in use. I'm just surprised it took them so long to release console controllers. I ordered one off Amazon but they are backordered to hell so who knows when it will actually come.

The layout and the way its made just seem perfect. It looks like its made out of a higher quality material than the standard 360 pad too....more in line with the materials Microsoft used on the Xbox 1 pads.
