[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.

HAHA I like this little piece of information they put at the bottom of the webpage

Accordingly, the information may not accurately describe or reflect the product when first commercially released. This fact sheet is provided for informational purposes only, and Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the fact sheet or the information contained in 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.

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

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).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
