This prototype doesn't seem too appealing to the eyes, though. Hopefully they'll be adding another facelift to the controller...

Unless the next XBOX is planned to be white. That'd certainly make things a bit more interesting.

I'll agree with it not being appealing to the eyes but the fact that wireless will be standard is awesome also you may notice no conroller ports!!! this would only mean that the next verison of the xbox communicator headsets will also be wireless

Too many batteries.

The idea of wireless headsets isn't sitting too well with me. It seems like the radio frequency it works with will be able to be listened to through other devices with a radio inside.

How about some cheap Lithium-Ion batteries, huh Microsoft? Nice charger bases, too.

I sure hope those aren't the new controllers. I doubt they are.

I also hope they do NOT do wireless. Wireless controllers never work as good as regular corded controllers. Interference, delay, and technical issues could create a huge headache. And as mentioned above, battery life, especially if the controller vibrates.

Looking like they will be wireless. Seems like all the next-gen's are headed in that direction.

Certainly you've never played with a Wavebird Nintendo Controller, then. The quality is seemless and the battery life is quite durable. Also, it keeps a very lightweight body for something with batteries in it. They definitely have the right idea when they allow you to change frequencies on the wireless adapter. Won't have to worry about interference.

Reports are coming in early today stating that the XBOX 360 (what is now, apparently, the official name) is, indeed, going to be a white console.

^^^
took the words right out of my mouth

nintendo got the wireless controller right, I'd have to say logetech also got it right with the wireless xbox controllers however they are quite pricy

not sure what controllers you were using but wavebird doesn't have any issues that you have mentioned, same goes with the logetech wireless

Can anyone explain this.

If the PS3 and Xbox 360 are being unveiled at about the same time, why is it that Sony is going to release the PS3 like well-over half a year later than the Xbox 360? The technology in it cannot be that much better to warrant a much later release date...

No release dates have been set in stone.

The XBOX 360 "Oct/Nov - Holiday Season" rush to release it is nothing more than speculation.

Im hoping PS3 is gonna be better graphically that the new XBOX. Im a real loyal Sony supporter always have loved their products. Now I dont have Microsoft I just never fell in love with the XBOX when I bought mine.

Buutttt...XBOX owners I know have become cocky and have an attitude towards gaming. Thinking XBOX rules all etc. Ill admit it has better graphics than PS2 but I dont think the games are the same quality. Not up for an argument in the matter either I just want to play something I like.

So I now have a bias to the new PS3. Although hopefully Sony will keep the same type of controller as that is why I stuck with PS2 from PS1. Love that controller for some reason.

In the end though I will probably think of the following when deciding on which one to get:

1 - Screenshots
2 - Price(Dont want to pay alot)
