neoroid Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 BBC Article... XBOX 360 SPECS -CPU with three IBM PowerPC 3.2Ghz cores -ATI 500MHz graphics processor -48 billion shader operations per second -512Mb GDDR3 RAM of memory -Removable and upgradeable 20Gb hard drive -Three USB ports -Windows Media Extender built-in -Support for DVD-video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD-DA, CD-R, WMA CD, MP3 CD, Jpeg photo CD As was widely expected, Microsoft has abandoned the black, boxy look of the Xbox for a far softer design, with curved edges and a clean white look. The front panel houses a disc drawer, two memory card slots, an infra-red receiver for an optional remote control, the power button and two covered USB ports. Separate panels will be available to replace and customise the front of the console. The controllers are similar to current ones, but are wireless and white to match the console. The machine is designed to stand on one end and comes with a removable 20Gb hard drive. So excited about this I'm saving already "The price of the console has yet to be announced but some speculate it could go on sale in the US for $300 (£162).

neoroid Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Elijah Wood Launched it on MTV, and it's called 360 because regardless of what position you put it in it still works.... I think...

Thats why we have most gaming platforms at home here. Any way, £160 odd is affordable I think! Damnit consoles go for £300 on first launch!

The price of the console has yet to be announced but some speculate it could go on sale in the US for $300 (£162). in AMERICA, maybe. i've heard a developer (can't recall who) has said never to expect any next-gen console for under £400. thats why i consider it a bit unaffordable and anyway, ii've just got an xbox 1 in january. 2 in the same year is out of the question, at least for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
