I watched it too, and I was kinda dissapointed with the show itself (lots of filler crap and like 2 seconds worth of anything informative). Some games I thougth looked cool were the NFS game, PGR3, Perfect Dark Zero, as much as I hate EA for buyign NFL rights 2k6 looked impressive if thats what actual gameplay will be, and that Majesco game (can't remember the name). I'm starting to like the look of it too, and when I get one it will most definitely not be standing up. The controllers looked nice a newer adaptation of the S controller. Kinda disapointed about the fact the only thing customizable is the faceplate, but thats what you see mostly so I dunno. Anyone else catch that there was a HDD attached to the top when the girl brought it out of the bag?

I like how Allard exhorts gamers to "take it out of our hands" and "make Xbox 360 yours".

Hear that, guys? :lol:

Not a chance since the CPU for 360 is PowerPC based and the XBOX is an x86. But, man, 3.2ghz x 3 might be able to pull off emulation of the XBOX. Ha, yeah right.

It's very cool. This is what the PS2 promised, but somehow I don't think MS is lying. They have money, vision and they don't fuck over their customer base.

I'll be buying one at launch.

riiiiiiiiiiight, einbebop44, microsoft, microsoft, einbebop44, seems like you guys have never met before

dont get me wrong though, ms has don OK on the xbox, considerably beter then sony, but seriously, what the fuck is up with the apple ripp off looks?

if the whole mtv launch thing, the "multimedia device" line (i have a fucking PC for that microsoft, it plays games, it plays and holds all my mp3's which is more then your puny 20gb disc will hold, it holds and plays movies, fuck if i want to play a DVD and i can do it on my pc too, oh and guess what, it has constant internet acces too :| ) and this dumb ass trend hopping look are gonna pull through i wont get one

IMHO all this mainstream crap ruins games, look at the psp, they buffed up the specs so much you have 0 battery life, umd discs are utter crap, and the units are sony's usual low qual fabrication, and now this with this new and hip xbox, WTF, we need a comp dedicating themselves to real gamers, not casual gamers, fuck if they wont make as much money

well yeah you do have a point, and i do like nintendo for that

the problem however is that lately the only reason to get a gamecube is the nintendo first party stuff, which is quality stuff, but i dont know how much longer i can stand those super happy sugar coated minigames in mario party, same goes for every other ninty game except for zelda and metroid, and since im not all that into zelda, that only leaves metroid to balance against oh uh, i dont know a real big bunch of shooter games and such on a platform like the xbox

no im not saying nintendo is kiddy, im just saying im getting sick of the endless stream of happy colorfilled games from them

You're an idiot. "OMG TEH MS!!! IS THE WORST!!!!!" "OMG TEH CASUAL GAMERZ!!!!'

I apologize, but I am actually one of those people who *like* MS's products. OMG! They work for me, the work well, the support is nice to me, they don't break, and they deliver what they promise on. The way I see it, what MS is doing here is similar to what they did when Windows first came out: take a good idea made by someone else (in this case, Sony's vision for the PS2/PS3 center of the living room/interactivity biz) and make it better.

There's some cool stuff they have planned for Xbox 360. Get your head out of your damn ass and stop pretending the 360 is trying to replace a PC. It's obviously not, and if you can't see that, you're pretty hopeless.

i watched the video myself and 2 things caught my eye and may make me buy it at launch (hell, i should have a job by then. ill be good to go for getting something at launch for once. lol): inclusion of a full-on, PnP supporting (as stated in the video, you can acess files across the network and even view photos off a digital camera) media center and the skinning support.

ive never been one to dis MS too much (ive done it every now and then when one of their products has really pissed me off. which reminds me, i still have to figure out why the task scheduler is fucked up on the server computer in the house :| ). its like the old saying: dont bite the hand that feeds you. but MS did a real nice job with the xbox 360. and it deinfitely proves they know what they are doing.

again, keep up the good work MS. :)

The MTV show was so shit it's not funny. Perfect Dark Zero didn't look too great but the PGR3, Gears of War and Ghost Recon 3 trailers on mtv.com all blew me away. I can't wait till E3 to see everything else in the pipeline for next gen.

I watched the video that MKE suggested since I don't get MTV. I don't like it's dependance on Xbox Live, since I never plan to hook it up to the internet. Love the wireless controllers and changable faceplate.

Yes but did your pc cost $300-400, and is it as powerfull as the xbox 360?.

You can say you have a pc that can do all that all you want, but can you have your pc in your living room next to your big screen tv?, and the is no way is your pc as powerfull as the 360 for the same price, so your comment imo was lame.

You have giving yourself your answere right there, if a console comes out just for the "Hardcore" gamers it most likely wont sell much, and in return wont get much suppert from 3rd party devs.
So if you want a console made just for gamers don't be complaining about almost no 3rd party suppert, and if you want 3rd party suppert don't be complaining about games going mainstream :roll: .

*sigh* ill just stop posting in these kind of threads then

IMHO (notice those 4 letters) i dont like this new xbox 360 concept

and as for my pc not costing 300-400 bucks, your right, it cost me more, but you need to realize i already have my pc because i need it for schoolwork, web browsing and other stuff only a PC (or mac, but lets talk price with those things eh?) can give me, so i already have a nice PC

i also have one fully functional PC built into a casing smaller then an xbox, capable of playing movies and DVD, which does happen to cost less then 300-400, its new case looks quite stilish, and if i had a big screen living room TV, i wouldnt mind putting this pc next to it

but this is my last post in this thread, i dont care enough to be flamed again just for expressing my opinion, off course i do believe im perfectly right, so there is no point in trying to contradict my posts, i believe im right, period

and in all my posts i was expressing my own opinion, if i want to get flamed for having an opinion ill just travel back in time to soviet russia, or errrrr, maybe the US
