Comments:
Awesome bundles. I think if one doesn't have the New generation Xbox 360 S then now is the time to get one.
Very interesting that each bundle is targeting a supposed group of gamers, 'hardcore' and 'casual/family.'
Doesn't Microsoft want to infiltrate the 'hardcore' with Kinect, or is it content to chase the casual/family audience with the device?
I think for the holiday season they will focus on the Casual/family market and next year when the big title like Ghost Recon Future soldier, star wars, mass effect 3 etc comes out they will focus on the hardcore gamers.
I think Halo Anniversary will start bringing Hardcore gamers closer to kinect with its kinect functions.
Very true - Future Soldier will drive Kinect in the hardcore market a little bit, but the functionality in Halo Anniversary isn't too extensive, as far as I've heard, so I don't know how much this game will affect things.
well they couldn't put too much Kinect function into Halo CE as they don't want to change the experience too much, but the functions they did put in works great.
But i think its a stepping stone into the future of using kinect in games. you should post the article about the functions that Halo Anniversary offers and see what people think. I think its great features.
