but it's not post to stupidly sized images Â¬Â¬ (something that makes me scroll when i just got up is not good D: )

especially without a comment :|

But that;s because the xbox is stupidly sized.

LOL ROFL LmaO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's called "360" maybe you're supposed to spin it around?

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 13/05/2005 13:16:56

can go horizontal or vertical, just like the ps2, well, that's what i read anyway..

LGM · Fri 13/05/2005 13:22:14

If it's caled 360, wouldn't it be logical for its design to be a circle?

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 13/05/2005 13:24:25

It's called 360 because apparently people associate a higher number with something more powerful, apparently one of the reasons for PS2s success over xbox.. if you believe that kinda thing.. Â¬Â¬

They should of called it "Xbox: Infinity Plus One... na na na na na na." The ultimate console.

Hehe, I've been folowing this for a little bit, and I must say that i don't really like the design much at all. Looks a little cheap to me. The controller looks better in that pic than others I must say though.

Oh yeah and the name Xbox 360 is really very lame. I'm sure it will seem normal soon enough, but taht doesn't stop it being lame.

hedgefield · Fri 13/05/2005 14:25:53

There's some scrollwheel thingy on the controller so that's probably what the '360' refers to.
As for the design: who cares? The thing has a 9 Ghz processor!! 3x 3.2 Ghz and 512 Mb ram. And Xbox Live will become free too.

Which means that all those sucky games will spew their muck onto your screen MUCH FASTER! Waahoooh!

scotch · Fri 13/05/2005 15:54:55

It does not have a 9 Ghz processor. It has a 3.2Ghz CPU, with three cores... completely different, it also has a high end ATI graphics chipset, and 512mb RAM shared with the graphics. It is basically like a current top of the range gaming PC, for gaming purposes, ok, a little faster perhaps.
I will get one, when I can get it for Â£40 second hand, like all my consoles.

I expect the multi core CPUs are going to encourage more use of physics engines.

Darth Mandarb · Fri 13/05/2005 16:25:00

As was already mentioned, I think it looks cheap.

And, as was also already mentioned, I think the name is lame.

Maybe they should have called it, "XBox EXTREME" ... oooh how cool would that be!?!

Having said that, I'm still looking forward to seeing what kinds of games they come out with.

Of course, having said that they'll probably ALL be FPS clones of shit we've already seen 100 times.

Or, judging by the shape, "XBox Squeeze" would have been appropriate as well. Or "XBox An Elephant Sat On My Console" ...

hedgefield · Fri 13/05/2005 17:10:39

Oh three cores. I thought 3 processors. Doh!

[EDIT] Well that presentation sucked ass. It just aired here, and it totally made no sense. It has no right to be called a presentation. I already read all that marketing bullshit this afternoon, and I sure wasn't in it for the music.

LimpingFish · Fri 13/05/2005 23:02:03

Never mind the name, which MODEL will you go for. Backwards Compatible, Non-Backwards Compatible...

With hard drive or without hard drive...

Shenanigans! :

. All I've seen so far is a couple of tech demos...the usual hot air that gets pumped out with every console launch.

This generation of consoles is ending far too quickly, if you ask me...but you didn't.

P.s It looks like a water filtration system...and an UGLY water filtration system at that.

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 13/05/2005 23:23:11

since when did consoles have to look pretty?

LGM · Sat 14/05/2005 00:29:47

If they wanted to associate a large number with it, just call it XBox Infinity.. Yeesh.

Are the controllers wireless?
