Confirms wired controllers works with XP PCs.

 

[Coin Return]

Cool, the HD comes with stuff pre-loaded on it.

 

[sammy]

fun

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Good you get the battery and cable together.

 

[Mrbob]

Wow a HD puzzle game!

Glad to see the Play and Charge kit is including the battery now.

Since Xbox 360 controllers work with the PC I'd rather have a wired controller than a wireless in the premium pack! GIVE ME CHOICES MS.

What really needs to be said is the rechargable battery pack isn't a raping after all. $20 and it comes with the cable.

 

[Excelion]

5.1 output on every cables exept composite ... border will be happy

 

[heavy liquid]

I do love the sleek design they're using for the ad. Seems a perfect fit for the design of the 360.

X360 faceplates available at participating retail kiosks


So what, we can stick $20 bills into a machine that spits out a faceplate?

 

[Miburou]

What's that thing in the bottom right corner of the pic?

 

[scissorfight]

So here's a question...If I get the wireless controller and the playncharge thing...that's like a normal controller then? As in, it can be used with an XP PC?

And no, I don't expect anyone to know the answer.

I might get the wired controller.....for my PC

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Media Center control I think.

Assuming it's just a USB cable, yes.

Looks cool, wired pad works with XP huh....sweet...

dashboard themes, not faceplates. downloadable to the memory card?

 

[AssMan]

I still can't believe 360 and PS3 will look pretty much identical and MS is launching first, this fall.

that is pretty cool, and it really increases the value of the controller IMO.

It's pretty tough to find a console-quality gamepad for the PC.

 

[IJoel]

Good news about the Charge Kit.

I know tell me about it, i still have old Sidewinders as my gamepads I think i might upgrade with 2 wired pads and use them as additional pads for 360 of course :

[dlobro1080]

where do the controllers plug into?

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Hah, it looks like they want you to get both the HDD and a memory card. HDD for backwards compatibility and a memory card for kiosk DLC. Sucks there are exlusive features for different storage accessories.

That shit is SO true.

The component video cable.

USB

[ToxicAdam]

It's definitely cool that the pads are XP compatible But I can't think of a PC game I would need one for (roms?).

 

[sportzhead]

Well put me down for one of the Premium packs and 2 to 3 games. I wonder if Microsoft employees will get a discount?

 

[VictimOfGrief]

yeah controllers are USB based I believe.

Wait, are you sure you get a memory card with the 360 value pack? I thought it was just a HDD.

And you get the HD cables (which work with standard composite cable outlets as well).

HD plays "top selling original Xbox products"

And plays an array of Xbox games. Seems pretty clear it's not 100% BC then.

"Multi-platform games will look and play best on your Xbox 360"

Well, I suppose it's surely true at the moment of console launch :lol

 

[dorio]

Looks like the main reason for the core pack was because if they included a hard drive people would have expected bc and they didn't want the money for the nvidia license fee to come out of their pocket.

Still don't understand how with all the developer complaints about the performance of the in order xenon that this thing will be able to emulate an out of order processor for bc.

 

[AndreasNystrom]

an optional hd is good, but only 20GB?...

 

[psycho_snake]

Thats so cool that the controller works with XP, MS get +1, so now that puts them at -999

 

[AndreasNystrom]

and if you could mount an internal ordinary HDD instead, you would get over 100GB for that price..

 

[Seth C]

It's really too bad that the $399 pack comes with the crappy remote instead of the real one. There goes $30 of the "value" of that package, as I'll need the one with media center functionality.

 

[John Harker]

$100 for partial backwards compatibility.......?


Uh....

 

[rastex]

and if you could mount an internal ordinary HDD instead, you would get over 100GB for that price..

I'm still waiting to see if you can use external USB HDD or networked PCs to save games/dlc etc because if so, then the core pack is actually not bad at all, especially the compatibility with XP PCs.

I won't need the media center functionality, does the mini-remote allow you to control dvd playback.

 

[Seth C]

I won't need the media center functionality, does the mini-remote allow you to control dvd playback.

Yeah, it should control all the basic functions of the 360 dashboard, including DVD playback.

Uh....

Well, that's not all a harddrive is good for.

 

[Fragamemnon]

Get a cheap PSX-USB adapter and lock in one of those old PSOne Dual Shock controllers you've got lying around. Works excellent with PCs.

No matter how you spin it, though, there is NO FUCKING WAY a cheap Wi-Fi adapter should cost $99. There is pretty much zero reason why this thing shouldn't be 30-40 dollars tops.

 

[fiddlestick]

Well, that's not all a harddrive is good for.

yeah, it does stuff your pc has been able to do for 10 years :lol

 

[hadareud]

yeah, it does stuff your pc has been able to do for 10 years :lol

exactly, and all the stuff all your other consoles have been able to do since ...

oh, wait

 

[Project Midway]

yeah, it does stuff your pc has been able to do for 10 years :lol

And your PC has been able to play games for 25 years :lol
