Building on reports of an impending Xbox 360 price cut, which allegedly will drop the Arcade SKU below Wii to $199, comes the reemergence of Microsoft's elusive motion controller, now rumored to be included with the Xbox 360 Arcade this holiday. A source "close to Microsoft's marketing department" detailed the bundle to X3F, claiming the new Arcade system will feature a 512MB memory card (in place of a hard drive), the New Xbox Experience pre-loaded and a motion controller, along with a few compatible minigames developed by Rare.

The motion controller supposedly will be sold separately as well, in a package that includes even more minigames. The controller is said to be compatible with all versions of Xbox 360. So how 'bout it, Nintendo -- you gonna trump this by tacking on HD?

Wasn't there a rumor a few months ago similar?

Yeah. The motion sensing controller has been rumored for a good while. Sigh i remember when someone posted the original 'Sketch" that looked like it was on a restaurant napkin... So many flames against MSFT in that thread.

Plenty for some game saves.

haha yes.. very true. Just poking fun ^_-. It's certainly good that they are including it as well as the mtion sensing for $200 ! thats a nice price..

, but they do overcharge for their memory taking into account the prices of much larger units.
$40 for a 512 memory card :/
$40 - 50 for 20GB hard-drive

When i think of arcade.. i feel like people would browse purchases on XBOX-Live with games like Galaga legions or 1942 joint strike.. thats like 200+ MB's right there. I can't say i've ever downloaded a game onto a memory card, which i think it possible??? or is it only for saves and such?

But im guessing the motion sensor will only work for games made after it comes out...obviously not older 360 games..right?

Thats what Sony said about every other PS3 game getting "future trophy updates" but only 2 games have gotten updated so far, and very very few are confirmed to do so while the rest of the existing games are confirmed to NOT get patched.

So I DOUBT game devs will do the same for the 360 and motion sensing. Unless M$ developed the games themselves.

Well MS is software based, so usually software promises they come through more than 50% of the time.
