Some other news for xbox 360, The xbox 360 will include one wireless controller, note that all controllers for it are
wireless, and I believe that it connects to the TV without cords either, but I am not exactly sure how. The hard drive will
be 20 mm and yes, it will connect to xbox live wirelessly and the xbox does not need power cords. You can download FULL games
from xbox live, so you can do that when you dont feel like going down to k-mart that day.lol. Many, many new things about
xbox 360 are soon to be reavealed, and I will soon inform my sites visitors about halo 3 and xbox 360 and its competition,
PS3.(NEW<><>This information can be found at you right>)
