Just purchased the new Tiger Woods for the Wii, w/ the Motion Plus.
It's sweet. Real difficult, sinc ethe swing is so fine tuned now.
I shot a 97 on Bethpage my first round on the standard(medium setting).
They shouldn't put the longest course 1st, since your guy starts off driving like a middle schooler.

Rumor: Xbox Natal is Actually Microsoft's Next Console

Yes, there will be a new Xbox console next fall.

However, the new console won't just be an Xbox 360 with a camera, though -- we've heard it will be considered a new platform and carry a new name (Xbox Natal?). It's not clear what sort of upgrades we might see, but some have suggested it will be an slight upgrade of the current Xbox 360 technology. Current Xbox 360 games would be playable on it, but future games would be able to take advantage of the added muscle. Similar to what we see in the PC space, games played on the more advanced Xbox would look or perform better, but publishers will still be able to support owners of both systems. Some developers have complained that they've already maxed out the Xbox 360; perhaps this will give them room to expand.

Make no mistake, we wouldn't be talking about the sort of hardware leap we've seen with Xbox (or most other) platforms in the past, and we're not talking about Microsoft ending one console cycle and starting another. We're talking about an evolution of the Xbox 360; similar hardware but upgraded, repackaged, and rebranded. It's actually not that unlike what Nintendo did with the Wii, where it essentially took the GameCube hardware, stuck in motion controls, and successfully relaunched it. The new Xbox console is said to be aimed directly at a mainstream audience -- and will launch before Nintendo is able to release its Wii HD.

Full Story


It's an interesting idea. Having two sku's play the same game, but with different performance. My guess by fall 2010 MS could 2x-3x the 360's power and include the natal for around 250-300. I'd most likely buy it.

this guy says the 1up article is bunk

I'm stoked, just went to best buy on my lunchbreak and picked up ghostbusters the video game. Time is sure to creep by this afternoon.

Picked up Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii w/ the Motion Plus --- very fun! Can definitely hit some different angled shots. I can imagine how the Tiger game works with this additional control -- may have to try it out soon!

I was debating which to get. I'll have to get the Tennis too. The vintage McEnroe on the cover almost got me to get it.

My one problem w/ Tiger is I have to stand up to play it. I like to be lazy playing games. This will be a good party game and is a lot of fun, but I'll be too lazy to play everyday I want to play a game. Plus, with the Motion Plus being so spot on, it'll probably be too difficult to play while boozing.

Yeah, they sent out a message a few days ago. The achievements will have to wait for another day, my friend. Isn't there some Fallout DLC on sale this week?
