XBOX Thoughts

I was carrying my original XBOX up from the basement to see if there were any updates for Ultramix 3 online when I was thinking, ya know, its about time for the XBOX to get a remodel. Heck most every other system has been redesigned for the better and smaller. The Atari 2600, NES, Master System, Genesis, Lynx, PSOne, and more! Especially since Microsoft has cancelled production of the original machine. They are still bringing out games too. Look at all those Platinum Hits and no machines to go with them. With the way technology is nowadays, they can a release a box 1/3 the size of the original for under $100. Instead, they are using their engineers to craft an "iPod Killer". Not much is known about it, but it is not expected to play games. We'll see. Not sure there is room in the portable market for a 3rd.
Speaking of Microsoft, they updated their Live page to include not just one, but a handful of coming soon games. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/livearcadexbox360/default.htm. I wish they were more specific with dates rather than a generic "summer 2006". Lumines should be out this month. /woot! Still no MK3 date. /sob
