i know i know... you all KNOW xbox - are sick of it etc...

Ive never SEEN one work - nor have my 2 nephews - and let me tell you i am king of presents right now (lol)

That friggin kinect thing - amazing. Joby was like harry potter - "james - madeliene! its a new level - wait - kaaaam!"  (change level) hilarious

So now I know. xbox blows away wii - wii is for kids - joby likes sega hedgehog MORE than mario (whod a thunk!) he was surprised to see Halo (classic) his birthday is in jan (next vers coming - with headphones)

I still cant get over kinect tho... why arnt lamps built with that in it...  oh ya cause the toaster might make toast!

anyway - belated "good one!" on xbox

quakelive! 

for those that have known me since ...well the beginning of c9? my brother has been on XP.

NO more

... friggin 12 years over.  hes gone to 64 bit / win8 / new machine / solid state / quiet power supply, 32 gb ram not 3... etc etc

he loves it.  not that i didnt tell him to upgrade for over a decade... apparently it was this one program giga sampler - that was great but went out of business and wouldnt load past xp (properly). many in the pc music world still held on to it.. but finally there is some new (forget name) sampler out (has a K in it?) 

but that was the trick.  One app - 12 years of SLOWWW  OVER!

i thnk we are closing in on a price point - maybe 30 bucks cost to corps - (or less) that could lead to being GIVEN a - say - grocery chain -  tablet free  - or other markets where the stickiness makes sence

edit - good luck with that 800 dollar - pretend your ipad with a million EXCELLENT apps strategy.

what else is there to say.

I WISH i could buy an ipad or WINDOWS tablet - but they are.... ummm....  800 dollars!

so lots of kids I know got this polaroid thing for xmas

(i have already bought 3 - iconias @ 300 each... this polaroid - 8 inch - is like a kindle in feel and weight- but in colour + fast.  They stupidly removed the google play store so you need to use imobil or whatever- but - its great!  the camera sucks - the UI is hard - but its....100 bucks

(angry birds /all .... 10000s of aps - there are good ones - way better than ms store at least)

I would have flooded the market with 100 dollar win8 tabs inf i were you... too bad lots of kids have to learn googles way of doing things ugly.

*think of the children!

edit: and yes i compare the quality of the device with the iconia - a little slower. its got android 4 - but the little icons still look stupid - and things still freeze ... but...100....

"we became the best at being bad"

its true.

: ..now if you ran that as a commercial... steveb at the end verbatim... 

then - Windows 8 - zooms out to just another tile.....   in the wall. (but i digress) - i guess the only sad line is "with all the talent we had" -.... that was forced out or didnt "fit".   

you cant put round people in square...tiles?

the reviews are in - slower heavier no apps. - same or more Price

yay  : (

Please - spend 2 years saturating the market with 199 ms tablets

like you underwrote xbox - sell at loss - later at cost - later at profit

seems like you've come out wanting profit (ludicrous) 

COPY amazon 199 ...

you are not apple/ipad....  the device brings you money - stop being them

do this now

what do you guys think?

its sort of a fun exercise -  for anyone so used to it... why is it good - apart from games?  what else does it do? is it good because________ or because_________

or is it just another wii  

i have no idea what gamespot.com has to do with an xbox

TOP LEVEL - you are describing an xbox to a martian  why is it good!   lol

edit:  answer- its just the same as WII with different games that look better with more power.  but i knew that part

there is nothing on netflix in canada... on the wii anyway  (i have one of those)

now joby is almost 10 .... so i got xbox.... but i find .. almost NO kid content... one sega hedgehog game...but mario (his current thing - apart from lego) isnt on it

im hoping that portal - 3 character thing is a hit... and that lego lotr looks better on xbox than on wii

and also - kinect.... is that just a gimmick/fad?  there were like 12 things for it at EB Games

all pretty lame

Someone should bring out a slim line version of things - cheap - ie;  

Kinect Bowling  4.99

Kinect Archery  5.99

etc

hey paolo!

how ya doing!  Im assuming you are at Extreme Homes level now (from your older IKEA beginnings)

but i need all the "un-authorized usage" questions answered
like ... is it evil or what!

* i have a little asus - play usb movies on your tv thing... does it do all that?

edit: and if it doesnt... stop being apple
