    I'm holding out for the Xbox 720 myself.

    Actually I will definitely be getting Xbox 360 if it can play Xbox games. If not, it just depends on what games they have at launch.

    Just as a side note in relation to this story, there have been controller pics floating around for a few days now (seen here). It would appear that Microsoft has learned nothing from the debacle of the original Xbox controller; this thing looks horribly uncomfortable to hold.

      The original controller was a mess, I'll agree. But the Xbox S is probably the best controller I've ever used.

      I don't get people's love affair with the PS controllers. They're so small my hands cramp up. The S controller for the box fits right into my hand comfortable and doesn't cause any fatigue.

      Btw that picture looks nearly identical to the Logitech Wireless Xbox controller and various other 3rd party Xbox controllers, minus the black and white buttons. It wouldn't be terribly surprising if MS embraced and extended someone else's original design. We'll see at E3 I guess.

      Not if you have large hands. That controller looks like a joy compared to the PS2's cramped buttons.
