Xbox 360 S 250GB + Kinect Bundle announced

Microsoft has announced the details of a new bundle that will be included as a part of the Kinect launch. This new bundle will be a step up from the previously announced Xbox 360 S 4GB and Kinect bundle which went on sale in August. Microsoft will be throwing in the Xbox 360 S 250GB plus the Kinect accessory itself, and the game 'Kinect Adventures'. This bundle will set you back a cool four hundred dollars if you decide to pounce on it November 4th (The North American release date for Kinect). Kinect will go on sale on November 10th in Europe, followed by November 20th in Japan.

It's sitting pretty now, but it won't hesitate to take a bite out of your wallet.

Analysts have criticized Kinect's lack of worldwide language support. The new motion based gaming accessory from Microsoft will only have support for English, Japanese, and Mexican Spanish upon launch. Despite it's limitations, representatives from Microsoft predict that the accessory alone will sell four million consoles this holiday season.

New Xbox 360 Fall 2010 dashboard update coming soon! + Screenshots

Recent screenshots have surfaced on the internet from the French website Logic-Sunrise.com which show new possible images for an upcoming dashboard update for the Xbox 360. The new update is designed to integrate the Kinect accessory into the dashboard (although referred to as NATAL in these early developmental screenshots). Among the other changes are a vertical orientation between selectable items on the dashboard, a newer sleek theme that surrounds menu options and the guide button menu, plus added options to the system settings menu.

This new dashboard update will surely be a part of Microsoft's fall system update which should arrive before Kinect's launch date of November 4th.
