The controller formerly known as “Project Natal” has been officially dubbed “Kinect,” and rumours of a revised “slim” edition of the console have begun circulating.
A messy series of leaks seem to have spoiled Microsoft’s E3 launch, with the Kinect name, and a series of Kinect game titles including Kinectimals, Joyride, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central and the especially original Kinect Sports, all becoming known in advance of the launch theatrics.
The mysterious advertisement, from an Italian source, also reveals a supposed new Xbox 360 model:
Features offered are said to include a 250GB HDD, wifi and “Kinect compatibility,” though what that is supposed to comprise, if anything, is not clear.
Whether genuine or not remains to be seen, but the features offered seem distinctly underwhelming, and some have already voiced doubts about the actual “slimness” of the supposed new console, not that fatness was ever much of a complaint – Microsoft already had the better of the PS3 in this respect.
Looks like a original xbox 360 and smashed on the center of it.
That guy’s arms are way too cut to be that of a gamer. :l How misleading. :3
This is going to be the best not the crap you guys are sprouting. Wi-fi n 250GB hdd Kinect ready and released as of this week to retail stick that in your pipe and smoke it doubters
A slim version = A slim chance of getting a RROD..?
I’ll wait until my 360 dies before I get this since I have all 3 systems and have nothing to worry about…
That said, I can’t wait for Death Smiles for the 360, since I have been waiting for that J-Shmup for a long time now…
Looks like I’ll just be reading Sankaku News on my Wii from now on, gonna trash my 360, stupid ads for the kinect coming in…bah…
