thats phat. I like how they actually hooked up the hard drive to a computer and stuff. It does look like a mini computer inside...but who cares.

As you can clearly see, the consoles are evolving into mini-PC\'s. I\'m not going to get into the war between this and that, but it\'s evident, the X-Box shares many properities that personal computers have. For example, Microsoft\'s infamous Windows operating system, a Intel Pentium III, DVD drive, and a Segate hard drive. But never mind that, the only thing that this overall design has flaws in is, if you keep it running enough or keep a game paused for more than 16 hours, you\'ll most likely see a degrade in performance in your games. So instead of playing at 60fps, you\'ll see 40\'s to mid 50\'s. That has to be my only gripe in the X-box\'s design overall.

Wow that really does look like a PC. That bit about overclocking sounds cool. Speeding up everyaspect of the Xbox including how fast the games run!

Why would performance degrade?

Wow, I had no idea this would happen to the system. Hehe what if the windos crashes like the computer does? ;)

That only happens on a computer when you leave your computer idle for too long windows begins to eat up your systems resources. There are programs you can buy to stop that kinda stuff, and it will not happen on xbox.

Yes, it seems another ignorant person thinks the xbox is a PC and thus plagued by PC problems.

i guess so.
