BongoBob Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 And since this is supposedly coming out this christmas, then I will have a job by then. Which means I will have money to get it at launch. Along with games. And then mod the hell out of it *sits and waits* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Originally posted by VikingLarz I thought the next Xbox was going to be called Xenon. Or am I behind on this information? You must have prolly heard that at the GameSpot poll or something. Xenon, as far as I know was an Intel processor for laptops and such. Xenon does sound good, but it would ruin the whole "X-Box" franchise name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Originally posted by Acrylic Well, of course it's gonna be metallic and have holes. I mean, for God's sake, that thing's (going to be) powerful. It'll need a way to get rid of all the heat. Actually, this time around everthing is rumored to be in reverse. In the current console generation Xbox is the strongest, GCN is in the middle, and PS2 is weakest. But now, the PS3 is rumored to be stronger, the GCN will be in the middle, and the Xbox360 will be the weakest console. Not trying to bash, just stating a general fact. Better I'd say. Like I said before, this madden looks no different than the one before it which claimed "amazingly realistic graphics". Yeah, I looked at the shots expecting something awesome, yet I found... the same old, same old. Im not saying they are bad, but.. I have seen better.

TiE23 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Originally posted by Sabretooth Here's what you can do to make that horrible X-360 design look better: Change the primary colour to black add more curves, but don't make it round place an X somewhere in the design Make a glowing green light around every button no holes, use Liquid Cooling that's all for now Color: Different colors, black, white, silver, and lime green Curves: Looks good to me X: Bah Lights: Sounds cool Holes: If you want it larger and pay an extra $100, go ahead and make it happen.

Tokarev Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Liquid cooling will just drive up the cost and like ET said, who cares about how it looks... I just want something functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, most powerful or not, it will most definately be very powerful, and capable of many things, as will the PS3. I can't speak for the Revolution though, since I know nothing about it. But, I'm sure the PS3 and Xbox360 will have holes, since you're putting a whole bunch of power (Hell, it may be more powerful than my [then] $3,000 computer) in a really small space. It's bound to overheat. So fans, holes, anything would help. EDIT: Originally posted by Tokarev Liquid cooling will just drive up the cost and like ET said, who cares about how it looks... I just want something functional. I care about how it looks. You want something that looks nice in your home. Luckily, I'm in the minority that thinks this is a great design. So, I wouldn't mind it looking like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel uses Xeon for their server chips, with a truckload of on die L2 Cache. Centrino was the name for the laptop chip. As for XBOX360, as long as it's backwards compatible, then I am all for it.

I would just as soon take out the old console if I wanted to play any of the games for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I heard they couldn't make it backwards compatible.... unless that has changed recently. Back Compat is a great idea (and really helped the PS2 imho) as a lot of people like to trade in their old consoles to take the edge of the cost of a new one... and don't want to end up with loads of useless games they have to sell. Or 100s of consoles under their tv Nintendo should just go the whole hog and make the revolution a total NES/SNES/N64 emulator. You can get every NES/SNES/N64 game ever made on one disc these days... modders will hack it to do that anyway (like my xbox) so why not make it a "feature"????

Acrylic Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000490042605/ Apparantly, someone took a camera phone and took a picture of the Xbox 360. Now, I thought this was going t be really nice looking, but for God's sake, I think this thing looks bad now. Not to mention the controller looks like ****. Ugh, thanks for totally disappointing me microsoft. (but who knows, they may change the look after E3, like Nintendo did with the DS.) EDIT: Now that I look at it more, it's starting to grow on me a bit. I think that we need to see a clearer picture than the one provided to be able to fully judge it.

Looks pretty good actually, kinda looks like a computer on the subway diet. I see the disk drive looks alot darker than in the first picture that was leaked. It's also alot fatter than I imagined.

Acrylic Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Originally posted by IG-64 I see the disk drive looks alot darker than in the first picture that was leaked. Well, it's the lighting. I heard its actually supposed to have a brushed metal look, and not be white. But who knows, May 12th is soon. We'll know for sure then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Sorry for the double post, but I think this deserves a new "reply" New pictures! http://engadget.com/entry/1234000040042613/ Supposedly the Xbox 360 Media Center Remote http://engadget.com/entry/1234000200042615/ and the controller Now, I like the controller. It looks better than the one in the live shot. Though, I wish the D-pad was white The whole sphere with an x on it idea is kinda cool... WOOT! EDIT: Supposedly, the sphere is supposed to be some kind of new button. Maybe not, maybe it's just the logo, but I wouldn't doubt it if it was some kind of trackwheel, hence the name "360".

abespam Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 controller doesnt look that aesthetically appealling, and it looks like its chunky as ever. This sphere sounds interesting, but i wonder why they put up between the start and select button, its hard enuf to reach all the buttons and pads as it is..

I hope you are talking about the original Xbox controller, cause the Conrtoller S is by far the best controller for any console ever. TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 God it looks sweet I am one of the 2 percent of people in the world that actually prefers the gigantic hamburger launch controller.
