360 Roundup: Pimp my Nissan

Xbox Car • Turns out Nissan and Microsoft have been working on a new concept car that allows the driver to play Project Gotham Racing 3 on Xbox 360.

The concept car allows a driver to play Microsoft’s driving game Project Gotham Racing 3 on an embedded Xbox 360 while the car is in park mode, using the car’s steering wheel, the gas and brake pedals, and a flip-down screen.

So if you can’t get it at the stores, maybe you can have it built into your car!

• We know consoles cost more to manufacture than their retail price, but just how much is always something of a mystery. A new estimate says 360 could cost $715 to make, amounting to a loss of more than $300 per unit. Previous estimates put the loss around $126.
