The XBox Mini

What I was always waiting for Microsoft to do on their own:

Think they'll ever do something like this with the 360?

At this point, what is the point. Who cares.

Microsoft gave up on our xbox in 2005 and there are hardly any more new releases.

Why should microsoft even bother with this now. does anybody even want to fork out over $100 just to have something that doesnt even get new games anymore?

I love my xbox but this mini, although it is nice should have been done years ago.

It would have been acceptable to do this now ONLY if microsoft hasnt already killed the xbox.

Personally id rather spend double to see a Sega Saturn mini, preferabally the size of my Sega CDX unit (which i have my 32x connected to!!)

I've never understood why people had such a problem with the Xbox's design. I liked how big and hefty it is was. Gave me the impression(however false it may have been)that it was a well built machine. I have a large entertainment center with multiple shelves, so I guess it just didn't bother me devoting one whole shelf to it since I had others I could use for other systems.

Visually, I thought it look fine. I like black, and like I said, it's size made it look like a real gaming machine and not a little toy(which is what the Gamecube looks like to me).

What I find really funny though, is how people talk about the size difference between the Xbox and 360, when the 360 looks just as bulky to me.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Very nice.

I'm sure MS is kicking themselves for killing the Xbox off so quickly considering how well the PS2 is still doing. I dont think they will make the same mistake with the 360.
