Xbox First Look: Wireless Helmet and more

Gaming — 01 April 2008

Xbox asks: “What’s popping up this spring?”, in an email to Xbox live customers today? Featured are the upcoming Xbox 360 Wireless Helmet, the Xbox Live Board Game, Xbox 360 Vintage Edition, and Xbox 360 Recon Edition. Any true gamer knows that the Wireless Helmet with Airflow temperature control, 5.1 digital surround sound, temple pressure rumble setting, and the ever desirable Flex-Plasma In-sight Display is the must have product of 2008. Or is it? Ya, it’s Microsoft getting all cavalier with an April’s Fools email. Bastards. I would’ve really liked a wireless helmet that jostled my brain around. Runner up: Xbox 360 Recon Edition – it sports a ‘low-energy 1TB HDD’ and ‘built-in passive sonar with a weather-proof shell’. Nice.

More pics after the ‘leap’ Check it out here.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

I can’t wait until I get this helmet, because I know it will be the best gadget out for the Xbox360.

you guys are all retards. Who honestly has time to sit online and argue about whether this is real or not. Seriously, get a life. Grow up. you all suck at Xbox 360 any ways so go home and cry to your mothers because you all still live in your parents basements.

7th Division ODST

well i actually dont live in my parents basement so the fact you’d se such a stereotype must mean that YOU do. Always the case with jack-ass mooncrickets like yourself.

When u read that…

“it sports a ‘low-energy 1TB HDD’”

or sth like that…

It would have been amazing if it was real, although i didn’t like the idea of a rumble function in the helmet, that would be one severe headache!

Every thing is new technolagy and hey i maybe only 13 years old but i know alot and that will posably be commin out by the year 2010 through2012.
PS> ANYTHING IS POSABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Illiterate Police

Just throwing this out there, when you post on the forums of how you’re 13 and know a lot. Send all of the writing to some kind of spell check. You sound absolutely and completely uneducated. This isn’t going to be coming out for the design of the helmet makes no strategical sense to or from a gamers point of view.
>>>> PS Possible is the Correct spelling!!!!
