I'm not sure I agree with anyone. I think it looks like they hit the old one with a hammer and painted it with gloss paint... gloss paint... ewww.
Also, can anyone else see the likeness between "Kinect" and Playstation's EyeToy from about 10 years ago?
I find it amusing that it's meant to be "quieter" than the previous 360 model, because it's clear to me that being inside a car crash while a nuclear bomb went off in the passenger seat that was holding a crying baby would be quieter than the previous XBox 360 model. So it's not as if that was hard for them to acheive. It is funny though, if I have both my 360 and my PS3 on at the same time, they are sat right next to eachother but you have no idea the PS3 is even on because all you can hear is the Hurricane next to it
