Details on new X-Box

PS3 is supposed to have more processors, more RAM, etc etc. Will it translate into better graphics and whatnot... I guess we'll see

Price tag is supposed to be $300 without harddrive and some stuff, and $400 for the razz a ma tazz edition (HDD and probably some other good stuff).

Good links Russ. I will be getting this on day one.

I'm not putting any money on Sony's power because, and I had to be reminded of this lately, Sony claimed the PS2 would be able to have gameplay look nearly the same as Toy Story the movie. There have been some beautiful games on the PS2, but nothing of that caliber.

I've got it on my Outlook calendar to make sure no one schedules a teleconference tonight

Wow, the graphics are beyond spectacular on some of the games. Some of the ones that popped out in my mind were Perfect Dark Zero, Madden, and NBA something or another. The last two had very real looking graphics. Honestly looked like video of real people.

Count me in for having one on day 1! Now I just have to sign up for a HDTV.

Oh yea... can't forget about Ghost Recon 3. I think that was the most impressive video I saw last night, especially considering it was one of the few games that looked like a real screen shot, not just video.

I would like to know as well. I just read an article on audioholics and couldn't see that spec.

Whats HDD, High Def, or Hard Drive? I kinda missed that.

Lets say it's high definition, I wonder if you HAVE to have a high def TV?

Here is a good article on the process behind the physical design of the Xbox 360 from the Seattle Times.

Good point Mjr. I think we should all realize the Xbox and Xbox 360 are more or less computers for your living room. I would simply buy a computer instead of an Xbox or PS or whatever... but the way that PC games evolve and eat up speed/power/techonology, it becomes pretty expensive to keep up. I've got a computer that probably would have been very very good about 2 or 3 years ago, but it has trouble playing the PC version of Halo and other not-so-new games. I wouldn't even try Half Life 2 on my comp! And I'm really not in the mood to spend a couple hundred bucks on a new processor and another couple hundred on a new video card. $500 for a console that will last 4 years along with all the necessary accessories sounds good to me.

But yea, for the person who isn't as stingy as me... go out, get a great PC, and play games on there. The mouse/keyboard combo is much better and PCs serve many other purposes.
