Microsoft Makes Fools Of Us With Awesome Accessories
The folks over at Xbox were nice enough to provide us with a first look at some new things to expect to be released within the upcoming Spring/Summer seasons. The wide range of products include a Wireless helmet which features a Heads Up Display, an air cooling system, and 5.1 surround speakers, an Xbox Live board game that plays from 1-8 people, a new ‘Recon’ edition Xbox 360 that boasts a 1TB HDD, a waterproof shell, and sonar, and perhaps what I’ll be looking forward to the most, the Xbox Vintage Edition console, which features a wooden case and a retro USB controller.
Sorry fanboys, we’re absolutely certain that this is a joke. Yes, we want a console helmet, too. Sure, it’d be better than a DS. No, you wouldn’t be able to feel people chucking rocks at you since you are wearing head protection.
Microsoft had some fun at all of our expense over at their Xbox.com site. As part of a “What’s Popping Up This Spring” promotion complete with pastel flower festivity, they announced four “new” products for pre-order. But before we get all giggly, let me be the first to say that this Xbox 360 Vintage Edition is actually quite awesome and should really be produced. Sure, the 100-or-so-button controller appears a but daunting. But it’s made of wood. Real wood!
Are you REALLY certain it’s a joke? I mean, an XBox Live Board Game seems TOTALLY plausible.
So will the recon edition be tough enough to play games for a year without RoD? lol.
Oh man, we really hope” that this is really a joke. Otherwise we just totally got scooped on Microsoft’s latest 360s SKUs.
hahaha! lol.
