the only reason i would get one is because everyone knows there will be an amazing 1st person shooter on the xbox like Halo. im not going to buy right away though. im gonna wait until some good titles release for it. then consider buying.


im waiting for the ps3. i cant wait.

most xbox titles are recycled pc games. even halo started life out as a pc game.

that is why i see nothing special when watching xbox games.

hahaha...

this so totally rocks. they had to pay people to clap... wow. that's desperate.

at least apple isn't making a console...

some say nintendo is the apple of the gaming industry. although not on top, it is innovative, profitable and has a cult following.

actuly kyro halo started as a mac game.......................anyways ima buy one caz its backwards compatible with xbox and i have an already good library of games on that.

I bet if Apple actually did make a console, there would probably be 5 games for it, and it would cost 2gzzzzzzzzz........

Xbox360, looks a little bulky. The new PS2 is half it's previous size, so why not show up sony, and make their console smaller; meh maybe something to come in the future.

I like the faceplates, that's a nice touch.

well, marathon did start off as a mac game, but marathon 2 is out for pc, and that was the game created before halo.

by the way, not all games are compatible with the new xbox.

xbox titles may have to be recompiled in order to be played on the 360.

If I got an xbox 360 it would be for 2 reasons, Perfect Dark Zero, and the amazing online interface they showed at E3.

Yes, the controllers are a rip from DC, but so were the originals. They were just fatter, less comfortable, and black (With a tint of green if you noticed).

Hired applauders? Sad.

I DID think it odd when the guy said that the 360 would be backwards compatible with the "top selling xbox titles", rather than EVERY ONE.

The supposed eyetoy rip is infact not one, its supposed to be used as a webcam of sorts for video chat via xbox live.

Stating that a color scheme is ripped from something is just pathetic. Thats like saying that the Black and Decker Wet/Dry Vacs they sell at Sears are ripping their color scheme off of my old high school, both of which are red and black. Colors dont mean a thing, especially not in terms of ripping people off. OH NO, THE CONSOLE IS WHITE!! Jeez.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Microsoft used Apple iMacs to play the xbox 360 demos. The tech demos weren't even run on xbox 360 hardware!

Note that the article was published before E3 this year, and that it may or may not be true for the E3 demos.

xbox 360 will possibly be $300 by thanksgiving

I heard about this thing ages go, kinda puts my custom xbox crystal to shame, its a ownage console with a 80gb hardrive but that things blows it out of the water. Frking updates.

i don't see anything

Microsfot Claims that they won't be able to produce enough Xbox 360's to meet demand.

I SAY A LOAD OF BS.

Sony did the same exact thing with the PS2 to artificially inflate the price. Don't fall for this scam, there will be plenty of Xbox 360s to go around.

or, they purposely didn't make a higher capacity production line, seeing as how the ipod's production line outgrew the demand.

xbox 360 looks good, but im not gonna hurry and buy it right away, especially after the recalls the original xbox issued.

also, ive been hearing that the xbox 360 is backwards-compatible with the xbox. does anybody know for sure if that is true?

Hey, think he'd date me?

only select games will be compatible, and they will have to be recompiled. the xbox 360 is switching from x86 to PPC, so there will be some compatability issues.

Actually, Halo started off as a Mac game.

It's based on the old Marathon series, too--perhaps the best first-person shooter ever made (adjusted for its time period, of course).

The computing capabilities of the Xbox 360, if true, are quite amazing. Three PowerPC processors, each handling two threads, for a total of six threads at once? Stunning. I'm impressed.

Not getting one, though. I don't console game anymore. Don't game much anymore, at all. But a 360 would almost be worth it for Perfect Dark alone. I loved PD for N64--still play it even now. I was disappointed when MS bought Rare and cancelled PD for the 'Cube. I'm glad to see they have restarted the project, because Perfect Dark is by far my favorite first-person shooter. It's one of the view that combine an interesting and engaging story with good gameplay.

been said.

Xbox 360 will launch for $300, games will be $60.

So if you buy the console and one game, the price will be $360.

Looks like a DVD player
