I actually posted it over in the RB thread for that exact reaction. It'll obviously be delayed.

Every time I have heard him on TWIT, he hasn't come across that way at all. He is an older guy, and sometimes sounds cranky, but not douchy.

Robo (and anyone else that cares), Overlord II achievements are up: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/g.../achievements/

Look very similar to last time. Main difference is there is no Zero/Full Corruption paths, but rather Domination and Destruction.

Damn impressive Forza 3 vid created using the in game video editor (via Kotaku)

Nice pic, noob.

Some of those moves with the spinning cars are

Hmmm...the pic showed for me, but then again, I am tarded. Fuck it. Now you have to click the link.

What if I don't want twitter and facebook integrated into xbox live?

Then don't associate your FB/Twitter information with your profile...?

Well, finally felt the wrath of the RRoD. That's two 360's in 25 months. Sadly, I think that actually puts me ahead of the curve.

At least this time you get to pay to ship it Microsoft. No more free coffins. Nice.

WHAT?! I suppossed you're gonna tell me that if I don't want to play Halo I also shouldn't put in the disc?! Typical....

They still pay for postage, and if he saved a box from before (hopefully everyone saved at least one coffin), it will still be free.

I have 2 sitting 5 ft from me right now.

12 month Live cards are on sale again. $33.99 and free shipping.

Rumor: Xbox Natal is Actually Microsoft's Next Console

Earlier this week gaming blog Kotaku quoted Microsoft's Shane Kim as saying that the launch of Natal would be as big as the launch of a console. Well, that's because it is going to be a new console.

On this week's Listen Up podcast we discussed Natal, and David Ellis and I talked about what we've been hearing regarding the new technology -- and how it's actually the cornerstone of Microsoft's next evolution of the Xbox. Microsoft will not only release Natal as an add-on for the Xbox 360, it will come standard with the next Xbox console.

Yes, there will be a new Xbox console next fall.

However, the new console won't just be an Xbox 360 with a camera, though -- we've heard it will be considered a new platform and carry a new name (Xbox Natal?). It's not clear what sort of upgrades we might see, but some have suggested it will be an slight upgrade of the current Xbox 360 technology. Current Xbox 360 games would be playable on it, but future games would be able to take advantage of the added muscle. Similar to what we see in the PC space, games played on the more advanced Xbox would look or perform better, but publishers will still be able to support owners of both systems. Some developers have complained that they've already maxed out the Xbox 360; perhaps this will give them room to expand.

If true then wow

So fall 2010? Interesting. If it gives them time to master how Natal works and have a goodly number of games to support it i could see upgrading.

Hopefully that'll give them time to master how the Xbox 360 hardware works.

I really don't buy that story. While I don't doubt that there will be some sort of bundle available, to semi-upgrade the console of this generation doesn't make much sense. Why create a motion-based peripheral for this generation to appeal to the casual gamer that they're courting so hard and then confuse everyone by coming out with a somewhat more powerful new model? They do that sort of stuff with handhelds, but never with a console before.

So $250 for Natal seems totally plausible now.

I don't buy it either.

If Natal is a new console they'll catch a lot of crap. The guy on Jimmy Fallon demoing Natal was adamant that it was fully functional with the current 360. That type of flip flopping won't help them any.
