This was a quote made by Aaron Greenberg from the xbox team.
Anyone want to make a guess at what this could possibly be? That's one hell of a comment to make :eek:

Hopefully not, the current one is great and suits most game types.

Maybe some type of hat that can read brainwaves and translate what you are thinking to movement on the screen. Now that would be cool

Its more likely to be the latter.

Metal Gear Solid 4 would be my bet.

Wait: I could swear I heard about that yesterday, and what does that have to do with video game history?
And would a US press conference not take place until at least 4 or 5 Irish time?

Scruff

that indeed was a shocking announcement: shockingly boring.

Perhaps MS will introduce some sort of betting system for online matches. Whereby a player can "bet" Xbox Live points on themself winning.

A game of skill, not a game of chance, y'see.

Boo-urns.

Today Microsoft Corp. and NAMCO BANDAI Games made video game history by unveiling the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” — featuring the first new Pac-Man mazes in more than 26 years — available only on the Xbox 360™.

The “Pac-Man Championship Edition” is the same beloved “Pac-Man” game played in arcades of the ’80s but is updated with new features that former “Pac-Man” fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks and high-definition (HD) graphics. Details include the following:
• Classic 2-D “Pac-Man” presentation with a new, modern look in HD
• Six new, timed game modes:
 The Championship Mode. This is the main game mode designed by NAMCO BANDAI Games and Iwatani specifically for the championship round of the Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. This mode – as well as all others within the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” – features redesigned mazes with wide maze walls and a widescreen configuration to better enable high-speed game play. Timed limit of five minutes.
 Challenge Mode 1 (Patience and Reward Course). This mode is an evolution of the Championship Mode. Patience mazes strategically offer fewer Power Pellets and Reward mazes provide a large number of Power Pellets – providing unique challenges and rewards for the player. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
 Challenge Mode 2 (The Darkness Course). In this mode, only the area directly around Pac-Man and the Ghosts is visible and the maze walls are completely hidden. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
 Extra Mode 1 (The Freeway Course). An extremely high-speed mode for advanced players, this mode features warp-speed Pac-Man and Ghosts and plenty of tunnels. Timed limit of five minutes.
 Extra Mode 2 (The Manhattan Course). A mode inspired by the streets of Manhattan — the home for the first-ever Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. Timed limit of five minutes.
 Extra Mode 3 (The Overall Course). A mix of all other modes resulting in extreme mazes for the most devout Pac-Man fans. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
• Xbox LIVE leaderboards, Achievements and Gamerscore
• Rated E for Everyone by the Entertainment Software Rating Board
• Costs 800 Microsoft® Points
• Available for download only on Xbox LIVE Arcade on the Xbox 360 starting at 0900 BST on Wednesday, June 6, 2007

Pacman is so two decades ago.
And here I was hoping for some kind of crazy gyroscoping type time travel device.

I tried out the demo last night and i found PAcman CE strangle addictive. don't think that I will spend 800 points on it though.

The announcement was a letdown alright. However, The Pac-Man CE games itself is class. Really enjoyed playing it last night.

No, it's still firmly in the rumour corner. Still not sure if it'll ever make it.

As for Pac-Man, from the videos it looks great, I'll download the demo if there's one and give it a go. From the videos though, it looks like something that would be ideally suited to the PSP.
