For those trying to keep up with info about the latest and greatest from Microsoft.

I have been seeing quite a few pics of this design and it seem that this is what M$ is going with for the new XBOX 360, which is the new name now.

Mtv is going to have a special showcasing the new XBOX on May 12th @ 930pm, check www.mtv.com for more info on the first unveiling.

So far specs have been noted as...
-Processor power consisting of 3, count' em 3 dual core CPU's with each core rated @ 3.5Ghz...3.5 x 6 = 21Ghz....holy f$*#
-Video processor is done by ATi this time around, 512MB of VRAM.
-Backwards compatibility is not confirmed but is highly likely.
-controllers will be all wireless, so if you look close at the pic, you will see no controller ports only a black infrared window.
-2 versions, 1 with a hard drive @ 40GB and 1 without a HDD.
(to lower pricing for those not wanting fully loaded)
-XBOX Live being built into every game one way or another and will have a centralized hub for all online gaming content, no more confusing menu's built by each game maker.

More info to come.

Surely it will be able to play regular XBOX games???
Cause if so Ill be waitin til this comes out for a Microsoft platform...

due out this year, Oct-Nov. time frame...supposedly Halo 2.5 (carrying on from Halo 2 before Halo 3) will come preloaded on the hard drive version.
Halo 3 is to be released on the same day the PS3 is released...sneaky Microsoft

I love it but did you happen to see how much they were saying it would cost? I would just like to know thanks.

right now it's undisclosed but rumors are around the $300 price range + or - $50.

:eek: :eek: That is real cheap for what you get. :D

For that price i migth have to get one once it comes out. :)

Oh yeah, I'm definetly getting it when it comes out. Got the first xbox the first week it came out and it's still running fine and it's spent almost a year in the desert being played almost 24/7. I love it and XBOX Live is tha chit.

HELLL yeah i play Halo 2 all that time on live. It is so much fun. :) BTW i heard there was alot of overheating problems with the early X-BOX's.

there was some problem with the original power cord supposedly overheating. I have never seen it but Microsoft recalled all early model cords and replaced them. If you chose to send it in... I didn't ..never had the prob.

We'll have to exchange gamertag's when I get back home and get in on a friendly game together, I play all the time, wife doesn't care as long as she gets her needs fulfilled beforehand, haha

Ok man that sounds good. :)
Yeah some people were saying the fans in the X-BOX were not able to cool it and it would just shut down and on a few it caught fire. BUT i dont know if that was all true.
