Yes, it has been discussed already, IGN got their facts wrong.

The clock speed has dropped from 300Mhz to 250Mhz, giving a drop from 300mpps to 250mpps (these are calculated only, i.e. not drawn).

Rendered polygons (i.e. textured+lit) drop from 150mpps to 125mpps.

Laughing My @ss Off at that.

we have heard that the X Box has being reduced in power for sometime now, but thanks mate for the INFO first time i have see the "REAL" Spec\'s :rolleyes:.

Mmmmmmmmm whats Microsofts next claim, that the X box is being produced by a Robot Army in Area 51 and can be used to launch Nukes, oh sorry Sony that Claim has already been done Before (Saddam The PS2 Snatcher take note !) LOL .

I HAVE to Say "REAL" Spec\'s because i don\'t want to upset any Microsoft Fanboys out there.


I can see one faction of Fanboys Hanging themself as i write this .



[this thread will be edited by Microsoft if they had the chance ]

well its better to become clean unlike to dissapoint like sony LOL even 25 million polygons on ps2 would be nice.

ooseven,

Xbox specs have only dropped from 300Mhz to 250Mhz, that\'s hardly a massive drop in performance. :rolleyes:

Disinformation spread by the PA\'s who should get themselfs KIA with some HV DC and become DOA, or maybe MIA in the Former USSR with the KGB chasing them wanting to inflict CP on the little SOB\'s.
