The HD drive looks massive! I like the steering wheel/pedals and think the camera could be pretty neat.

I like the look of the steering wheel. Can't wait to try it out on Forza 2 ^_^

Wow, that HD drive is huge. I thought it was a lot smaller than that.

As far as the Live Vision camera, I'll definitely be getting one of those. :thumbs:

Wow, that HD drive is huge actually haha... I want to compare the size of that to the original Xbox360 to see how they compare (HD drive looks to be about 2/3 the size of the original console)

I really like what they're doing with the camera, although I'm sure that will make the already annoying people on X-BOX Live that much more so. The HD-DVD drive however is huge and useless. I highly doubt anyone will buy that, considering you can probably get a regular one that is a lot better and about the same size. Also it will probably make the original 360 like bad too when attached.

Same size? Nope, all HD-DVD players and Blu-Ray players are way bigger than that... That is the smallest HD-DVD drive out there believe it or not.

Also, it will be a LOT cheaper than all of the other HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players.

I'm definetely going to buy one when it comes out :)

Also, I will be getting the Camera (which should rock), Wireless headset (dog chewed up my original wired one), and wireless receiver.

I don't play enough racing games to use the racing wheel (though it definetely is damn cool)

Don't like how huge the HD-DVD drive is. I wont be getting one anyway until games start using it. And i mean good games. By then there may be a slimmer version of the HD-DVD drive :)

I wish the steering wheel had a propper 6-gear shifter. I hate flappy paddles.

You will be waiting for forever then.

Games are not allowed to use the HD-DVD drive. It is purely for HD-DVD movies.

Main reasons being:

1) It's not mandatory, so you will have a segmented market (already more so than the core/premium)
2) It's unsure whether Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will win the "disc war" so Microsoft is playing it safe
3) There's not enough bandwith with USB 2.0 to support reading the disc as quickly as it could if it was internal, so HD-DVD games would be slower on average (and would probably stutter if there was streaming technology in use)

So you will have to either get the PS3 with Blu-Ray or wait until the next Xbox.

I really like the idea of the pedals - using your ankles as an anchor so it stays put.

Most useless post in this thread. Why did you bother to post? Do you realize that I am on a PC typing this right now?
