microsoft xbox 360 slim

Seems like I’m gonna have a tough time to decide between Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360 slim! At a recent event in New Delhi, Microsoft has clarified that the rumors surrounding the launch of Xbox 360 Slim were indeed true. Microsoft is expected to officially come out with an announcement later in December. The new Xbox 360 will include a 45nm Valhalla combined CPU / GPU motherboard design in a slim case. It is however uncertain whether it will start shipping early next year but it could make up for a great Christmas or New Year present especially with the release of Fallout 3, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 in India. That’s a good one week before the official worldwide launch. Microsoft also announced a special Xbox 360 deal for Indian gamers which includes an Xbox 360 Core console, a 20 GB HDD, one wireless controller and free copies of Viva Pinata and Forza 2 for Rs. 14,999.

With Nintendo Wii just around the corner, I am confused between Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. Any advice?

Update: The wait is over guys! Microsoft has today released the new Xbox 360 Slim at E3. It’s black, sleek and sexy. The announcement follows the earlier one concerning Project Natal being named Kinect officially. A great day for gamers indeed!


nintendo wii is coming to india: prices specifications games

First of all, before you all start cursing me, I know the Nintendo Wii is still available in India. But for all you kiddies out there, Wii is available in the grey market. It’s the same Nintendo Wii that the world plays with but since it is bought from the US, one has to use a Chinese duplicate 220 Volts adapter with it along with certain modifications.

Nintendo Wii currently costs Rs. 16000 in the grey market. The official version will be available for Rs. 19000. It comes with the taxes, bill and warranty and that adds to the amount. Nintendo Wii is a fun gaming console. The Indian version will be in NTSC.

I am planning to get my hands on one of these on my birthday this year. Let’s hope my dreams come true.
