Xbox 360 is Back With New Pet Tricks?


Thanks to the economy in the current state it has been for the past few years, Microsoft has gone ahead and declared that the Xbox 360 will be the latest console from Microsoft until at least 2015. This is great news for the money conscious gamer who wants to keep up with all the new games. With this said, Xbox has released its Xbox slim which has been rightfully nick named “The New Xbox”. With only a 17% size reduction compared to the PS3 30% reduction, it has us at Field Test wondering what crappy diet Xbox has been on. With all joking aside the new Xbox was designed to prepare for the system requirements of the Kinect system designed by Natal. Microsoft intelligently took this opportunity to throw on some of the add-on’s the fans have asked for like built in Wi-Fi.

With the biggest complaint about the Xbox so far, its inability to hide finger prints, we at Field Test would have liked to see Microsoft to throw a HD player on there console. Playstation was able to slap on Wi-Fi and a blue-ray player the first time. With that said the verdict is that for only $50 more at FutureShop, anyone looking into buying a Xbox should defiantly look in to the “New Xbox” considering a wireless add-on is going to run you 70 bones. For existing Xbox users, Unless you are crazy enough to fill up 120Gb on your HDD (Cleanup those friggen demos already) or are extremely acoustically sensitive to the loud disk drive, we at Field Test think we all can last till 2015. That’s unless we all RED RING!

For Those of you worried about not being able to running Kinect on your old Xbox, Microsoft has announced that the old Xbox will be compatible. We at Field Test however are assuming you will need an additional wall outlet to make up for the "USB on steroids" build in on the New Xbox.

Amazingly, for the first time in Xbox history, there are currently no known over heating problems with the "New Xbox"as of yet however you can be sure that if there is, The Field Test will be here to inform you.
