    Kim explained that while Microsoft has focused lately on the "living room experience," its recent efforts do segue logically into mobile gaming. These include the ability for users to buy and download Xbox 360 games via Xbox live; and Project Natal, a motion-sensing technology that lets you control video games and Xbox 360 menus with body movements rather than with a peripheral controller:

    Unfortunately this idea does not originate from Microsoft them selves
    Some time ago, in fact almost soon after the Xbox 360 came out a guy by the name of Benjiman J Heck famous a console modder came up with the idea of making the Xbox 360 portable and the form of a laptop, The Official Blog of Benjamin J Heckendorn

    That. Is. F***king. AWESOME. I need to show my friend that link.....

    I have another friend who tried to do this with an ORIGINAL XBox, and an old laptop. I think he got hung up on the video connector. How is that one connected?

    I personally think the 1st xbox 360 laptop was the best although it had its flaws The Official Blog of Benjamin J Heckendorn revision 5 no linger has a keyboard and i liked that in the original but not so much in the second version

    I also believe you can contact Ben and have him make you very own personal portable console but be prepared to pay extremely high prices and be prepared to wait a long time is he is in demand
