What ever happened to good ol' four year product refreshes. Believe it or not, CPU and GPU technology didn't peak half a decade ago..... =|

Just make it work on PCs, so I can use something remotely modern until a real Xbox update is released in 2015.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 3:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/

consoles never "refreshed" every 4 years. thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/
Xbox (2001) to Xbox360 (2005) was 4 years.

Granted the Nintendo64 (1996) to Gamecube (2001) to Wii (2006) was every 5 years.

Regardless, its been five years, and we've advanced generations ahead in CPU and GPU performance and efficiency.

The new Kinect hardware should have released with a new Xbox720, IMO preferably with a budget SSD, i3, and 5750. With an OS optimize for gaming, that would provide mono performance, so we wouldn't suffer from the 720P, no AA/AF, object pop, and poor lighting issues w/ the 2005 grade components they are selling in the new shell today.


The Nintendo64 (1996) to Nintendo Gamecube (2001) to Nintendo Wii (2006) was... 4 years.

What were you saying again? =p]]>Jun 23rd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 5:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Will my TV fight itself if it has GoogleTV AND Kinect in it ?]]>Jun 23rd 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 23rd 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/
People will start waving their hands and flicking fingers in the air to accomplish what they are able to do by simply pressing buttons? I don't think so.

You cannot misplace your body, unlike a remote.

Also, waving to change a channel or making a slicing gesture to mute may be easier than reaching for the remote and pushing a button.

Never fear, however, as I suspect all of these devices will also include standard remote capability, although the remote itself may be an option on some.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 24th 2010 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/kinect-tech-destined-for-tv-embedded-greatness-in-2011-htpc-int/Jun 24th 2010 5:19PM
