Xbox 360 will be receiving a great update later this summer that will bring in some much needed improvements to the service. Xbox 360 will be receiving Paypal and Avatar Kinect support. There is six different upgrades that are scheduled to be released between May 19th and May 30th.
These Paypal upgrades are very important to Microsoft because it will open up new international markets that they aren’t current in. This means that you will no longer have to add your credit card into the Xbox Live system, making it a lot more secure than Playstation Network.
China’s company eDoo will be announcing later this year the launch of the “eBox”, which will provide gaming and entertainment experience just through the body actions detected by a webcam-style device, and no other controllers will be needed. Thinking Kinect?
This is what it seems a leaked image of the eBox:
China’s government announced recently that they will not allow the commercialization of XBOX Kinect device; but as always, people are always looking for a workaround, and the eBox device is appearing.
There are no official announcements, but apparently more news will appear in November and possibly the launch of this product will be on 2011. XBOX games won’t be supported by the eBOX console, but there are currently working 16 professional teams, some of them have developed games for Xbox 360 and Wii, from 8 countries will take part in the development of eBox’s games.
When I see this pic, I cannot avoid thinking about the other Chinese invention this year: The iPed.
