It looks like everybody's going with standard wireless controllers this time around. Sony's finallly ditched the two ports and is using Bluetooth for the controller interface (up to 7 at one time).

For comparison, the PS3 ones. |

| MS is claiming they'll be able to launch worldwide (all at once) before the end of the year. |

I think I am going to hold off for the new PS3.
Never been a fan of the Xbox and the new games out there just aren't enough to entice me to go out and buy one. |

 Nice picks intro.
Must say it looks fine and dandy not to say orgazmic
I know im being superficial and all but I am now torn.
Which one looks better? Bear in mind Sony have gone all out with the photo shoot and have snaped their beast from every angle.
By the way intro love the quote at the bottom, and sorry about the playoffs, saw the first 2 and thought the rockets would make it. T-mac looks awsome, really become a top franchise player, and what can i say about Yao. Next years the year.  |

The real question is: Will we be able to Mod/Chip it like the old Xbox?  |

With all the media functions MS is putting into the 360, it looks like they're trying to cut down on reasons for modding. I use Xbox Media Center more than all the Xbox games I have put together, and if the 360 can browse a normal SMB share instead of requiring a Windows Media Center machine, I'll probably get one.
Sure, downloading free games is nice and all, but if the system can play my downloaded divx stuff off my network, that's even better. |

Here it is:
Nintendo says the final unit will be slightly smaller than this.
I like how the O's in the logo are used to represent the two different sizes of media the Rev can handle. (I wonder how they got a slot-loading drive to accept smaller discs.)
