New details have been leaking about the new Xbox 360, and I have to say I'm not really happy with the design. I'm a fan of silver, but the new shape is about as pretty as the old brick. I'm also not sure of how practical it will be to place with other components. Since I'm in the planning stages of a new home theater setup, this is a concern for me. The last design wasn't too friendly in this regard, either. Would it kill them to make a decent design that fits in with your receiver and dvd player?
The new Xbox Live features are interesting though. Looks like the prediction that Halo 2's matchmaking system would be rolled out across all games is coming true, which is a good thing. I just wish they'd make it easier to filter out the annoying pre-pubescents.
As a new feature, I'm going to be spotlighting interesting web games that I come across, and link them here. I'll try to have one every day or two.
