X-Box 360 revealed

[Ocie Denver]

More features on Xbox 360 I find, it become a computer more than a simple gaming console.

I'm sure those Xbox 360 parts will empty Microsoft's bank accounts as Xbox did.

[Freedan]

I wouldn't count on that. Microsoft's got deep pockets.

In no way does the Xbox360 resemble a computer more than a Revolution.

...Okay, maybe a little more, but only because Xbox is designed by Microsoft. Come on, they revolutionized PC usage as we know it today. They both use Graphics cards (But this time they're both from ATI, rather than nVidia), both using processors from IBM (I know the Revolution is, anyway). And the processor in the Xbox is 3.2 GIGAHERTZ.

And there's nothing wrong with the controls. I play Halo and Marvel VS Capcom 2 with ease. If you don't like it, get the S-pad. It's much smaller and easier to use.

Oh yeah, there's no way the PS3 is more powerful than Xbox360. The 360 is more powerful, will have better games (Stupid RPG fanboys...), and has HALO

What more do you want?!

[Coz]

The XBOX360 will be able to use CDs, DVDs, burn them, play movies, listen to music, and loads of other stuff...

It's a computer, basicly.

The revolution will play games, and play DVDs only if you get the internal attachment.

The controls of the XBOX360 don't seem very friendly.. but the ones from the PS3 seems worse :p

If you say that the XBOX360 is more powerful than the PS3, everybody know you are lying. I bet even Bill Gates will tell you so if he was in public, because you know, in public he can't make lies which are too big.

The PS3 is 2-3 times more powerful than the XBOX360, and you know it. Heck, even when the PS3 was unveiled they made a explicit comparation between the XBOX360 and the PS3, where, even tought the amount of hertz they handle are the same, that is not the only factor that counts, and they demostrated it.

I want the fastest console ever, with the best graphics ever, given away for free, with all the kinds of games posible(all of them 10/10 games of course), inventive and easy to use controls that let my character think what I think, using energy sources that I don't have to care about, work with HD screens, using disc technology that can be read completely in less than 1/20 sec. with a storage capacity virtually unlimited for the next 4 years, with free wireless internet at speeds of T3, with the ability to download games on demand for free.

That's what I want, nobody sayd it was posible :p

all consoles are computers

there, now i got you all!

What more do I want? I want many quality titles. Halo is one FPS among many out there.

I'd have to do some searching (please don't make me do that, I'm seriously lazy right now), but I read about the differences between the PS3 an the 360. They're different because of their internal workings and stuff, they use different components. One isn't better than the other, they're just made differently.

Windows was bought at a garage sale by Bill Gates.

And the 78 year old guy who actually invented it was killed by Bill in his sleep...

[Muerte]

i heard that yeah ... bill gates was searching around to buy an operating system type thing to impress those above him and settled for windows cause thats the only one that was ready on time

I saw a picture of the XBOX360 with hands on it.. it seems it isn't as big as we tought, as long as the hands holding it aren't exceptionally big eighter...

My DVD player can do all that and it's still a DVD player. And come on, it's microsoft. Of course it's gonna resemble a PC some way or the other. But ultimately, it's a video game console.

Yes, PS3 will probaby have the best graphics on the market, you still have to pay $400 USD for it. I saw the FF7 tech demo (A remake of the intro for FF7, quite sweet I must say), but the Xbox is sweeter. And come on, have you seen the trailers for Ghost Recon 3?

I was kidding (I dislike Halo 2 myself), but it is a good reason to have an Xbox. And there are tons of titles out there that are great. Prince of Persia 2, Forza Motorsport, Splinter Cell (All 3 of them are SO much better on the Xbox, and yes I've played them on the other 2 consoles), Killswitch, Ghost Recon (1 and 2), and...HALO

But it's all a matter of preference. While those games may be released on other consoles, they're alot better on the Xbox.

[Muerte]

i don't know how much xbox costs us ... but i wouldn't pay that much just for a/a few/whatever halo games ... and all the other semi decent games i've seen tend to also be on ps2 and it will probably go the same way with ps3

I've played games that were released on all 3 consoles too, and have found that more often than not, the only difference between the games is the graphics tend to be a bit cleaner on the X-Box. There are times where the game is considerably different (some parts missing in other versions), but they're generally the same.

About the controller: It's good to see that the controller isn't the 400 pound mammoth I thought it was going to be. It looked seriously huge in the original photo. Maybe the picture was just taken awkwardly.

Edit: According to GameSpot's rumour investigations, the 360 will be backwards compatible. Here's the quote, if anyone's interested.

GameSpot Rumour Control wrote:

When Microsoft carefully parsed its words about the Xbox 360's backwards compatibility--saying it will be "backward-compatible with top-selling Xbox games." So when Gamesindustry.biz published an article that the console's radically different hardware couldn't support current-gen Xbox games, accusation perfidy in Remond began to fly. "The solution Microsoft has reached is apparently to recompile current-gen Xbox games so that they can be played on the 360," says G'biz. "First on the list, it says, are the best-selling Halo titles." However, Xbox owners we're the only ones freaking out. The usually recalcitrant Microsoft bypassed its external public relations company, telling GameSpot directly that "Our goal is to have every Xbox game work on Xbox 360. You will NOT need to purchase a new 'version'--your original games will work on Xbox 360."

Smart move by Microsoft. There was a lot of question as to whether or not they'd do that, and it's good for them that they've put it in. They'd have a lot of pissed off fans if they hadn't.

[Ocie Denver]

I wish Microsoft dont do backward compatibility... Why not do it on window XP and old games?

Too much xbox fans for me to hand stupid xbox talks.

[TerraHero]
