Great deal. They charge me tax in CA which is ridiculous. Still better than any other deal lately.

Surprised this hasn't been brought up yet, given the number of people with kids here. Maybe because I've only seen it mentioned on one gaming site.

The best part? No trailers or commercials!
Netflix tech provides each kiddo a personalized experience based on their use and taste. And as you'd expect, the whole shebang is Kinect enabled, letting kids use their voice to navigate. |

Is the interface on the XBox still retarded? Oh, and JfK has been on AppleTV for ages too.

Wonder if that's in reference to the "720" or a new slim like PS3 is doing. Hopefully it's the former.

Anyone in the beta have any issues with Kinect? Mine is stuck on a permanent "starting up" loop.

So one of my old HDMI 360's finally got the RROD this past week. I rarely play video games on it but it's almost essential for streaming. I was just going to get the $199 4GB newer model but seeing as how I can't play my old KoTOR games on it without the hard drive I had to get the 250GB model. Not sure how I can justify $300 on a streaming device that I play 5 year old games but...

X-box "Durango" Dev Kit sold on ebay?
Despite plenty of leaks, Microsoft has yet to officially confirm that it's working on the next Xbox. But the first one may already have been sold. An eBay auction over the weekend found a buyer for a purported Xbox 'Durango' Development Kit — a system game developers use to create games for the upcoming console. The buyer, who remained anonymous, shelled out $20,100 for the kit, which apparently looks like a black computer tower. The sale comes with a load of questions, the foremost being: Is this thing real? There's no way to know for sure. But the seller, who goes by the name SuperDaE, does have a track history of leaking information about the next Xbox, including the first images of Kinect 2. SuperDaE boasted about the sale on his Twitter account, saying "I sold one of two I own. I still have the one that featured in news, the other one wasn't really necessary to keep as a leg rest." He also says his lawyers told him to "Go for it!" Assuming that's true, he might want to reconsider his legal counsel. Development kits are never given or sold to game developers. They're leased -- and remain the property of the console manufacturer. They're also in extremely short supply. And while there have been plenty of leaks, the NDA Microsoft has put into place surrounding Durango (the codename for the next system) has been called 'draconian' by people familiar with it. |

I suggest he use that 20k that he got from the sale to hire a lawyer that isn't a fuckwit. |
re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
I like the part..."He also said his lawyers told him "Go for it".
...might as well told him to commit "hara kiri". Even if this is real, he could be related to Bill Gates and it won't save his butt. |

I have the $5 TRU coupon so which way, if any: Dead Space 2 limited edition worth a $10 blind buy or Rage for $5 blind buy? I'm a very casual gamer with Nintendo roots who enjoyed Metroid Prime but pretty much only plays Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, these days. Very limited time to play, too, and invest in a looong game that takes skill building / mastery. Thoughts?

re: The official Xbox 360 thread - the console of choice on nuclear submarines
Yes
