OMFG! Can it heel and roll over also?

*You will be able to transfer stuff from an ipod.

Ah, it's nice to see Microsoft finally acknowledge and admit defeat to the ultimate portable music player.

- The button in the middle is called "The Ring of Light" and indicates what controller you are holding and if you have any invites or other Live related stuff.

No thanks. A little too hokey and mythical for my tastes.

Quote:

* Some kind of memory card, atleast 64mb...?

Should not even be mentioned. Not only is it unimpressive, but it was standard last generation. Talk about fishing for benefits!

- Play music from portable devices * #

Nope. That doesn't enhance my gaming experience. These are just desperate stabs in the dark to lure video game amateurs with party bag trinkets. Wasteful filth.

Excuse me, waiter? Take this back to the kitchen. It's disgusting and I'm no longer hungry.

eXtinct!

Well, the last Xbox sure didn't end up like the dreamcast, but this one probably will.

Neo · 05-12-2005, 05:57 PM

One controller port would certainly limit your multiplayer experience now wouldn't it?

bobcat · 05-12-2005, 06:03 PM

I think Microsoft are showing too much too soon, and not enough of anything majorily jaw dropping

Typhoid · 05-12-2005, 06:13 PM

Just because theirs one port, doesnt mean they dont have a built in wireless sort of deal.

They wouldnt commit this much gaming suicide. As much as they are stupid, they have something else in mind to get money, and enhance multiplayer.

I agree. If it doesn't get any better than this, I will not be buying one. I mean, what's the point? Why would anyone buy a system that is less powerful than the others if it didn't have amazing third party support?

Which it doesnt.

It does have wireless. Point is, some of us don't want wireless, we want to have the option, and we hardly do with 1 port.

It has plenty of 3rd party support, they just haven't announced any great games. But then again, Nintendo and Sony aren't promising stellar lineups either.

And the point is to have a new console before next Christmas. Every multi-platform game for a year after Xbox 360 comes out will be better in many ways on Xbox 360. Also, if it offers any forms of improvement to the original Xbox games, such as up-conversion, it offers a better way to play Xbox.

How about we all just wait for it to be officialy revealed and stop jumping to conclusions.

gekko · 05-12-2005, 07:35 PM

Why? This is what Microsoft wants, remember? Input from the development community and hardcore gamers.

Ta da! We have a controller, with fold-out porch and optional Jacuzzi!

Solid Snake · 05-12-2005, 07:39 PM

Am I the only one who is excited about the XBox 360?

I will be buying one at launch, PDZ will keep me busy until they can release more games.

Teuthida · 05-12-2005, 07:39 PM

...Is that really so much of an improvement over DOA3 for Xbox? Do shiny pants make this new game that much better?

I was, but every time they announce something else I lose interest. The new consoles are coming too soon, going to miss out on the technology it should be embracing, and all we're really getting is a combination of the best things from this gen, all wrapped up in one (or rather, 3) with better graphics.

Development costs are going up, game prices are at a high risk of increasing, games are only going to get worse. All for what? Because there are better graphics chips out so we immediately need a new console?

I could go into more detail, but I'm not in ranting mode right now, I'm in satirical mock-Microsoft mode.

I still think all wireless controllers is the way to go, and I don't understand why it's such a bad thing if they don't have cord ports. I love my WaveBird, and wouldn't play any other way. Not to mention you end up getting about 50000000000000 hours off of the thing.

Ghost Recon was the only game's pics that impressed me... I'll wait until more information until I judge the system.

gekko · 05-12-2005, 08:20 PM

I use my Wavebird too, as well as bongos, arcade sticks, and keyboards.

And how many channels does Wavebird have? 16. How many people does Halo support? 16. God forbid you get interference on one of the channels, someone won't be playing.

Adding features is nice. It's when we lose them that we tend to get irritated. this is costing me money to lose features.

16 player LANs are a rare occurance, and I don't see that as a big threat to gaming.
