New xbox coming out. It's got a sleek black design and looks pretty epic. New features are:
- 250 gb HD
- Built-in wireless adapter
- A lot quieter than current xbox
- Comes with Kinect

You can get this for $299. I think that's a pretty good price, but I'm really pissed that I have a perfectly working xbox 360 premium that I bought for $400, but I'll still have to pay for the whole thing if I want to buy the new one.

Because I have a perfectly good xbox right now, and I think it's dumb how I had to pay more for an xbox that's not as good whereas people will be paying less for a much better one.

That's just how it is. Things get better and cheaper. However not necessarily at the same time.

I always thought it stupid how modern consoles have like 10 different versions that are all slightly different in the first place ... What ever happened to making a console, making it work, and then releasing that? (Sure sometimes there was special additions, but they were usually just a different color or something) ... Instead of just releasing a fragile hunk of plastic that breaks all the time. If you really want variable storage space, make it so you buy the individual harddrives.

Hey, don't you think it's funny that they were selling xbox arcades for that price ($280 on release, minus wifi and a hardrive, lol) and now they're selling these ones for practically the same price? :P

Nintendo 64. Best Console ever. Had the upgrade to Expansion Pak, and that was it. Good times.

I just got an Xbox 360. Gosh dang it.

The new 360 is shaped oddly... It narrows at the middle, like a dude of average build with a really tight belt on. Very aesthetically inferior to the old 360. And that shiny plastic coating is gonna be grimetastic and easily smudged. :-|

Relatively ancient and inactive

I find myself sexually attracted to the New Xbox 360. It's better than Voy-pr0n. Yep.

But my laptop is better than God-porn, so I'll stick to that.

What about the SNES? Certain games had additional chips inside the cart for additional capabilities.

DM, it's going to get worse before it gets better. If it gets better.

@Cent: How would you... Uh... Never mind.

@Farty: But the SNES's best game wasn't completely and awesomely broken just by making the protagonist lose his sword. >:3

Too complicated :hurr:

Though I do miss trying to beat Mystical Ninja, Kirby's Super Star, and other 2 player games with my bro.

What? You never had to worry about it, though. When you got NES, SNES, N64, or PlayStation ... that's exactly what you got. No fancy elite versions or whatever ... (Though PS did make the Slim and PS2 has a ton of different versions ... but they are all basically the same.)

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Symmetry -- :wob:
[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
