Okay, first of all it’ll be interesting to see how long it is before Sony cooks up a Playstation 3 unveiling event to beat the half hour infomericial for Xbox 2 on MTV May 12. As for the rest, I can’t say I’m really all that excited yet, for me it’s all about the games. The games are what I want to hear about. What is the Xbox 2 going to let me do that I couldn’t do before, and how much will it cost me? Oh, will I watch the MTV special? You bet! But I won’t be one of the first to buy Xbox 2 when it comes out, unless there’s something I really really want to play on it.
Okay, that said, what cool stuff would get me to jump on Xbox 2 (or whatever it is going to be called)? Well right off the bat, i would really like an easy way to hook up my iPod to the home stereo setup. If Xbox 2 can help me with that, and even allow me to synch my pod right on the Xbox itself, that’d get my attention. I’ve also heard rumors about Xbox 2 having wireless controllers standard, another thing I’d like. Finally, the new Xbox needs to be small and cute/cool looking. That way I can sneak it into the house when my wife’s not looking! 😉
