Microsoft's word

"A Nissan URGE driver can, for example, maneuver through the streets of New York, park the car and fire up the Xbox 360, then virtually race through the same streets using the same steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal -- blurring fantasy and reality in a way that the automotive world has never before seen."

The car is hybrid. Gas and HUMAN ENERGY powered =P

Does it come in stick?

 

[ATJaguarX]

This sounds pretty cool.

Another article said it will have a 6 speed manual but the pictures indicate a sequential transmission.

Like most things geared toward gamers I find it overall tacky and insulting.

Care to explain that? Because it is one of the few marketing stunts from MS that is not haf-assed or downright laughable.

Human energy, hmmm? So does that mean we can stick our feet out of the bottom, and run it down the road like Fred and Barney do it?

What is even more awesome is that the X360 Power Supply is used to heat the car during those cold, winter months.

This sounds pretty cool.

Sounds cool, but the design itself is horrid. Just install one yourself.


Plus it sounds like you have to park to play, which is lame.

It will provide the zen of driving!

:lol wtf, i hope that was sarcasm

It's true. Great design isn't it.

well there's really no other way since it uses the wheel and the pedals, but still stupid.

I don't get why people think this is stupid. Being able to control all your racing titles with a real steering wheel and brakes sound great to me. Who needs a driving wheel?

Let me park my $200k car and play Xbox 360. Woot!

It's not the first car that makes you park to play your videogames. Haven't you seen an episode of pimp my ride?

 

[ypo]

No don't watch that show. It doesn't matter if it's first or not, it's still stupid.

Man, do I need to check for new topics.

I'm speaking more of the car design rather than the integrated X360. The car is extremely flashy and ridiculous looking IMO. Its looks like something for the NOPI ricer crowd with its two tone exterior, grey/blue/yellow interior and knight rider gauges. Its the same insulting assumptions about gamers that resulted in the Doom movie.

I am pretty damn sure that MS had no hand during the design process other than the Xbox 360 implementation.

I'm pretty damn sure that I didn't say they did.

 

[Arsynic]

Where ever the Xbox 360 is in the car, it's probably overheating. I hope the car doesn't stall when the X360 crashes.

 

[Slurpy]

Wow. How fucking retarded. They want me to virtually race while parked in my car? No thanks.

car owner: Well officer. Um you see I thought I was playing PGR3, but I was actually driving. The 360 graphics are just so amazing I thought my windshield was a video screen.

policeman: can you explain why you were powersliding through traffic on the wrong side of the road?

car owner: I needed more Kudos.
