SchizoidFreud Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Microsoft India reveals XBox 360 Slim At a recent event held in Delhi, Microsoft revealed some very interesting pieces of information. For one thing, most sites have posted conspiracies and possible shots of what appeared as the console’s slim version; Engadget received a tip as far back as May concerning the planned 45nm Valhalla combined CPU / GPU motherboard design for the 360 and how it would most likely come in a new slim case. XBOX SLIM MS execs here confirmed that the Xbox 360 Slim exists and you can expect an official announcement on the console in December. When the redesign will be officially available (in 2009) to consumers is uncertain but this certainly looks to be a worthy purchase to start the New Year, especially with the upcoming October releases of Fallout 3, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 in India. FALLOUT 3, FABLE 2 and GEARS OF WAR 2 EARLY TO INDIA Speaking of the upcoming AAA trio, Indian gamers will be able to test-drive some playable builds of these titles — and that too, a good one week before their official worldwide launches. Yes, we’ll be battling the Skorge, abandoning our pets and touring nuclear wastelands before our compatriots around the world, in what is essentially a repeat of the Indian gaming section playing Halo 3 before it released worldwide. XBOX 360, 20 GB HDD, WIRELESS CONTROLLER AND 2 GAMES PACKAGE for RS 14,999 ($ 333) Microsoft also officially announced its new Xbox 360 package deal for India. Get this: An Xbox 360 Core console, a 20 GB HDD, one wireless controller and free copies of Viva Pinata and Forza 2 for Rs. 14,999. Personally, I think Microsoft can not only further reach out to the average Indian gamers but also introduce them to more nuanced experiences like the original Gears, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 and Ninja Gaiden II via titles that are fun and have mainstream appeal.

KeezNah Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Wow, it's amazing what journos will post from a club party with The History Channel as sponsors! Anyway, we (as in TAP) are not touching this topic until we get an official (GG and Split-Screen, look that word up) comment from Microsoft themselves. Peace out~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeezNah Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 @Karan: lol, I like how a simple Halo 3 Slayer tournament with free booze and lit-cigarettes floating about gets more interesting "announcements" than the last few GDCs combined.

Good thing you didn't stay around for the after-press party. Lots of goofy people dancing with no good music to dance to XBox Slim -- Fater and Better way to play RROD NOw with 5 year RROD replacement policy I'm sure in some part in the universe that somehow and someway your comment may seem somewhat clever.

KeezNah Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Failure Rate: 82.8% and cracks cds if played more than a few times. So is this gonna be another "whoa 360 has common-known faults, better make a note of it in the topic for like 50 posts" threads again? You people are god damn sad.
