I also heard the expected price of this had shot up quite a bit.

I have the old vision cam, you can get the odd game which will have you diving about the living room like a spacker, it is not really for me to be honest.

I would have had a punt for about 40-50quid, but the last reported price i had seen was three times that

Can't see the point. Just MS jumping on the Wii wagon. My Wii hasn't been switched on for over a year, didn't even bother at the usual Wii time of family Christmas!

New 360 comes with WiFi, 250gb drive, and what looks like a standard figure of 8 power cord.

The custom kinect port thing is a bit weird, wonder if they have jiggled the new console a little so the new kinect thing works better on it.

45mm tech is good, but come on, the 360 is feeling its age a bit now imo, its starting to get left behind in a noticeable way regarding new release graphics.

Hmmm how whisper quiet? whisper quiet as in you can hardly hear it, or whisper quiet compared to the harrier jump jet taking off impression that the original 360 does?
The 250GB drive is a welcome addition.

If this new console has a custom port for this stupid Kinect thing, does that mean it won't fit the older consoles?

StickyMicky

It fits older consoles, but it has a small note which says something like "needs 175mb"

Not sure if that is storage space, or memory space.
