[Definitive] Xbox 360 Thread

[stanley porkchop]

Yeah, the MTV unveiling sucked. None of those games looked outstanding, though PD0 does sound interesting with the 50 people at a time thing.

[rishid]

About 2 minutes of good information in that, what a waste of air time.

[Aids]

but didn't he say that 50 people could appear on one screen too?

that would be totally chaotic.

or did i hear that wrong?

[InternetExplorer]

the new xbox kinda looks like the dell small biz computers

Wow! someone else noticed the same thing :o

Yea, it really looks like a white colored version of the Dell OptiPlex SFF chassis...

[h3xis]

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.

Official Xbox360 Fact Sheet for those who missed it.

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.

-----

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 :(

[Laughing-Man]

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.

That MTV thing was the dumbist thing have ever seen.

[Eli]

But they were playing Xbox games on it in the video....

[RDx]

Quick question ,were do u plugin the non wireless controller?

[punker429]

I wonder how much money they are loosing on each console if they are selling for $300.

[Hipster]

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.

585911484[/snapback]

Killers are great. Don't be jealous.

[insurektion]

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:

[InternalStorm]

I'm waiting for something to show up on Usenet.. .the Our Colony video showed up 50 minutes ago, I am hoping the MTV thing will come out later tonite yet.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

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.

You mean the graphics on PS2 are going to be like ToyStory2 type promo :rofl:

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).
