Comment by: NeoRio (May 16, 2005 13:00) As impressive as Microsoft's new device appears to be, unfortunately, it will not be able to stand up against the PS3. Sony's use of the blu-ray disc will totally crush Microsoft's effort (Sorry Billy Boy). Therefore, I will not be buying an Xbox 360. I'll just be content with my Xbox and PC and hold out until Sony releases its new much more advanced system. |

Well well well; while we are are talkint civil here I just got to say this and i know i am going to stir some commotion but man i tried to tell them boys. Xboc 360 is over, through finished, done, stick a fork in her cause she is well done. PS3 specs have been officially unveiled and it is more than 2 times more powerful than the xbox next. IF MS have problems with sony though their symtem was sliiiiightly more powerful, what are they going to do now that they would have to hook two xbox 360 together to even come close to the ps3 capabilities. Long live the king. SONY. |

Comment by: lxhotboy (May 20, 2005 16:41) OH do you need a diaper and a wipe to go with all your crying. Lol lol. I am talking about the 360 and it should be called the 170 because it is not even half the system ps3 is. |

Comment by: deezp1 (May 20, 2005 18:56) Quote: LOL, Whatever. Dont forget, Specs arent everything. Its all about the games and let not forget that. You can have a great system, but if your games suck then whats the point (remember the turbographics 16 and dreamcast!)
Anyways, what 360 lacks in specs, they more than make up in features.
HEY NOOBS! Please don't use the whole, "I have a friend who..." line without having proof. Thanks! |

Comment by: Bubba1982 (May 20, 2005 20:50) Dude, the dreamcast had the best game off all time. Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2. Well, the xbox has them aswell, and nintendo has it too. But originally, dreamcast had it and it rocked.

And yes, Phantasy Star Online did kick ass! PS2 v7

Comment by: Zinn (May 21, 2005 10:15) Sony doesn't suck, it's just isn't as good as xbox... here's the xbox360 live facts
The controller, the camera, the headset, the camera, and even the console itself...there have been a lot of Xbox 360 leaks so far.
Now, it seems a full list of Xbox 360 specs and Xbox Live details has been leaked. This list comes from a thread on the Team Xbox forums (the thread has since been deleted), and the TXB poster originally got it from another un-named forum.
2 types of Xbox Live: Xbox Live Silver (no subscription required) Xbox Live Gold (subscription benefits)
Features for Gold service (S) Also for Silver (O) Also for Offline
- Seamless transition to Xbox Live account from Xbox to Xbox 360 - Access to MMOs (additional fees may apply) (S) - Free Xbox Live weekends (S) - Multiplayer online gameplay - Avatar for gamer profile(S)(O) - Motto for gamer profile (S)(O) - Personalized look for Xbox System Guide (S)(O) - Offline achievments (S)(O) - Online achievements (S) - Access to other players' Gamer cards via Live (S) - Cumulative gamer score (S)(O) - Location/language profile (S)(O) - Reputation (S) - Enahnced matchmaking using above - Skill level matchmaking - Gameplay style profile (casual, competitive, etc.) - Recent players list (S) - Free and premium download game content(S) - Free and premium downloadable movies, music, tv (S) - Downloadable demos/trailers (S) - Microtransactions (S) - Custom playlist in every game (S)(O) - Play music from portable devices (S)(O) - View images from digital camera (S)(O) - Strem media from Windows XP (S)(O) - Interactive screen savers (S)(O) - Track info for CDs (S) (O) - Communication with voice, video or text (S)
The Hardware: 1. Support for DVD-video, DVD-Rom, DVD-R/RW, CD-DA, CD-Rom, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 cd, JPEG photo CD 2. All games supported at 16:9, 720p and 1080i, anti-aliasing 3. Customizable face plates to change appearance 4. 3 USB 2.0 ports 5. Support for 4 wireless controllers 6. Detachable 20GB drive 7. Wi-Fi ready

CPU Game Math Performance - 9 billion dots per second
Custom ATI Graphics Processor - 500 MNz - 10 MB embedded DRAM - 48-way parallel floating-point shader pipelines - unified shader architecture
Memory -512 MB GDDR3 RAM - 700 MNz DDR
Memory Bandwidth - 22.4 GB/s memory interface bus bandwidth - 256 GB/s memory bandwidth to EDRAM - 21.6 GB/s frontside bus
Audio - Mulitchannel surround sond output - Supports 48khz 16-bit audio - 320 independent decompression channels - 32 bit processing - 256+ audio channels
To sum up the important stuff regarding XBL:
There will be two versions of Xbox Live. Silver is free (everyone gets it), and Gold is a paid subscription, like the current XBL. It looks like Xbox Live will be free on the weekends for everyone; Gold members will get it all the time, obviously. Current Xbox Live accounts will carry over to the 360 and become Gold Xbox Live accounts. Both Gold and Silver members will be able to download demos, trailers, and other content through XBL.
This info seems pretty legit, and some insiders have confirmed that this is indeed a real leak. |
