Oh snap.  I missed that ESPN3 was part of the update.  I'll be checking that out when I get home.

Well it surely won't be to release fun, timeless games that everyone can enjoy.  Niether m$ or sony has been able to do that in their companies histories.

Heh... my guess is absolutely nobody would agree with you on that one, but you are entitled to your opinion. 


But getting back to my point, this is obviously a "mii too" ploy from them and they failed because they don't get it.  They thought making everything look white and flat would appeal to the wii crowd, when the wii crowd simply put up with the white and flat (actually the wii interface is nicely curved) interface to get to the fun games.

And to be honest, the Kinetix lineup doesn't really merit a custom look.  Their launch games are pathetic... look like wii sports rip-offs only we are over that type of game by now.  I saw a single serious game (a street fighter) and once I saw the gameplay video I was immediately underwhelmed.  This was a bad move for m$.  sony will fair a little better because they did what they do best.  They did a 1 to 1 copy of the wiimote and then blatently deny that they are in any way similar.  For some reason people have always eaten that up.

Buddy at work is a PS3 fanboy more or less.  Apparently he's made that ridiculous claim that "it's going to be totally different!"  ::)

I don't care for the new look either of the 360.  I do not like sharp angles.  They look very chintzy for a next-gen console.  Plus I have a black MW2 console.  Everyone knows the saying.  I can't go back now.  The whiteness is lame.

I did managed to break it.  I went back into settings and changed the display profile (I have a projector and cannot get it to display 1080) and the thing just wigged out and my old profile was back. 

Something odd happened to the background as I went to download the Kinect video live software it had to reinstall that huge download thrice.

Weird.

Anyone managed to get a better resolution from HDMI instead of VGA?  I cannot get any higher than 1920x1080 for the LED monitor + HDMI.
