[Definitive] Xbox 360 Thread


Recommended Posts

who the hell's idea was it to have elijah wood as the host? and the little "pimped" out version of the original xbox looked like it had been designed by a third grader. i literally fell out of my chair when i saw it. also, they showed past designs of the xbox360 that they had contemplated on using, those looked 500x better than what they decided as their final. my final question is what's this things fame to claim? what are its outstanding capabilities that will last for years to come? ooo wireless controllers? a bigger HD? better yet... A FACEPLATE!?!?!?! please, i hope sony can do better...FAR better and produce a fairly exciting/intelligent promo that's on any other channel but mtv.

Im gay and I hate MTV... even more so after seeing that. Also thanks for the PD0 screen grabs, just shows even more clearly that it was made for the original xbox and just ported (very poorly) to the 360.

Probably because they make all gays look like super flamers

The leaked specs were almost (if not) dead on.

Things I'm glad to hear...

-All Xbox 360s will come with a 20GB hard drive, regardless

-Looks like any cell phone headset will hook up straight into the controller

-XP Media Center Extender built in

-Many, many types of devices usable over USB (keyboard support the main thing that's getting my attention)

-Microsoft owns their chip designs this time around

-Water cooling for CPU

-Sound done in software, so 5.1 support can be stepped up to 6.1 and 7.1 if a developers wants to do so

No word on backwards compatibility yet :(

Perfect Dark Zero looks like @ss: 1up

I thought this next round of consoles were supposed to look better then PC games, and the worst part this is a launch game. Wow, Rare truely is dead. If the final version of the game turns out to be anything like this and someone actually buys it, I pitty them.

Official Xbox360 Fact Sheet for those who missed it.

UGH that annoyed the hell out of me. They showed more of the god awful band than they did any xbox 360 footage.. that vid posted a few pages back had more information than this. And again, PD0 was... just leave it at that.

Killers are great. Don't be jealous.

Why do you take offense to that so much?

It could very possibly not be the real thing, or at least not accurate to a final design. Most prototypes aren't.

OMG thank you so much for reminding me about that CTV thing. I knew it was coming on but for some reason I forgot about it. Again, thank you. :yes:

So am I correct in understanding it will indeed support a keyboard and mouse?

If so, I am sold.

If not, I am still a skeptic...

I remember I was all excited for the 1st X-Box, got it right away for way to much money. However many years later it is now, there is sits, faithful protector of the dust bunnies of my floor.

Until a Console can come super close to emulating the experience of PC gaming, I am not going to be excited. You can have the fanciest graphics in the world. Until you also have the gameplay for certain genre's that a PC has, it really will be no replacement for me.

With that said, when can I pre order it? Certain games are without a doubt meant for consoles, and with the mention of that Tony Hawk Wasteland game or whatever it was, and HD support which I happen to have finally just gotten a widescreen HDTV last month, now that I think about it, I am sold.

I still do hope it supports keyboards though.

Not sure about mouse, but keyboards (for text input) are definately supported. I'm guessing you were wanting to know if KB/Mouse would be supported for actual control...that's yet to be known (something I doubt though).

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
