Xbox 360 revealed?

I\'ll most likely get this anyway.

Xbox live is just too good to pass up.

I think we should better wait and see how PS3 and Revolution will look before we judge the next XBOX

It\'ll fit nice in any HT setup.
It\'s not that big.

Well, the facts are that MS is fully aware of the Japan problems of Xbox : size.

These pics are evidently the best MS can/is willing to do when it comes to housing next gen hardware ;

So the Xbox 360 fact we have now is that MS needs the size of PS2 for the cooling and hardware layout of all essential components.

Since it is said that Xbox 360 specs crush a current Nvidia SLi pc it is imo a pretty good achievement. On several boards ppl with SLi setups report some nasty high gpu temps. It is good to see that the next gen Ati gpu can be kept cool in that box.

Big question mark is now the size of the PS3 and Revolution. Nintendo\'s console is rumoured to incorporate some kind of 3D holographic projector so you won\'t need any tv anymore.

Yes, I am quite curious about those consoles.

I think X-BOX "360" won\'t have trouble pricing their console at $300 or so, since it uses the DVD disc as its storage space.

PS3, what got me curious about PS3 though is the cost.  Because good thing is seem like Sony is going to include Blu-Ray format too and possibly can play Blu Ray Video.  But what got me curious is how much will it cost to include that.

Quote from Gamespot Next gen console article :

"If we use David Reeves\'s example numbers as the price points Sony would like to meet, a plain-Jane PS3 will retail for under $300 and a PSX version could sell for $700-$900."

so, then my guess would be, ps3 without HDD may cost $300, with HDD that can be used as a personal video recorder may cost  $700 to $900.

But I am wondering about Blu Ray...which is an optical media, not a hard disk drive...

same size as the PS2 which came out HOW MANY YEARS AGO

Weak argument, like usual. I guess u expect it to be the same size as an ipod, even then I doubt it would make u happy.

japan\'s gonna have a good laugh again

As if we yanks give 2 shits what the japs think.

WTF! 700-900 dollars, do you even think any1 will spend that much on a freaking home gaming system!
Please explian why it would cost 700-900 with an HDD?

weak argument?

it\'s two generations and 5-6 years newer

lol for making excuses
:thumb:

if it ends up costing 700-900 for a PS3 then screw it. I\'m getting a 360 anyways.

*ahem*\'

3D0 = $700 at launch.

Neo-Geo  = $800 + (if I remember correctly? Someone correct me.)

those numbers are about accurate
think the neo-geo was closer to 650$ at US launch, BUT an entirely different circumstance.

3DO overplayed thier hand.  they thought people would line up to drop 700$ on a next-gen console.  just a bad business decision.  especially when i picked mine up a year later for like 100$

neo-geo\'s games costed 200$ apiece cause the system had direct ROM access to the carts, not to mention the size.
it had 300meg carts :eek:
