Xbox 360

[PSiedTSi]

yeah but a lot of those cards are like a grand? i doubt an ATI X850 platinum(ati's best right now) will be able to touch the new gaming console...most of the consoles are out about 2-3years from the gaming machines and like 5-6 from just regular home users...i mean dont get me wrong computers are powerful as shit and everything but a console is built solely for gaming...and its built to support shit that comes out a few years down the road so its ahead of times moreso than just a graphics card

edit: if your talking about workstation cards then i dont really have much to say except those damn things are really really spendy

[Jim]

Its not that the graphics cards are any less powerful, they are just built for differnet things. Gaming consoles don't have anything besides gaming to do.

[Pony_Racer]

360 plays video files from your home computer as well. And will have video chat on Live which is sweet.

[Jim]

yeah yeah what i mean is its less efficent at doing regular computing tasks, but more efficent at gaming.

shit the xbox 1 can stream etc...

[Pony_Racer]

Streaming music is about all for the first...and that is only limited to game developers who add that to their games. 360 allows you to play your music in ANY game. But i wasnt saying that vs. what you were saying earlier just pointing those cool little things it does is all.

Its on again on MTV for those who missed it the first time.

[Jim]

lol... not true.

We've been streaming Divx movies, weather information, music videos, mp3's for a long long time....

[SmitEvo]

[uwatchn]

You didnt "mod" your xbox did you?

MP3's i already knew you could stream in your xbox dashboard but i'm talking about listening to your burned music in games themselves. Not all of xboxs games supported that, but the 360 lets you listen to your music in any game.

[Jim]

Yeah, we all have modded xbox's.

I wouldn't have an xbox if it weren't modded.

[Pony_Racer]

yeah thats what i thought...i was saying that a normal xbox was very limited in streaming capabilities compared to the 360.

What mods are you runnin anyway?

[Jim]

Running:

UDE2 Exploit
PBL - The Metoo BIOS
Evolution X Dash
XMBC on Top
SNES and NES Emulators
Kai Xlink and XBC

soooo is this the xbox 2 orrr is this going to be an advancement or what....?????

are they changing the name from xbox 2 to xbox 360 now? looks promising.

[Pony_Racer]

Yes the new xbox is called "Xbox 360". It's a totally new system compared to the first. Much faster,better looks (at least imo), and it also comes with alot of goodies.

Man i've got to get me some mods for my box...:(

[Bryce]

Does anyone know what this mother is going to cost yet?

[Pony_Racer]

Thats yet to be announced. But i would guess somewhere around $400-600.

[bluejays]

[assasain]

yea i bet it will be upwards of 500 for a brand new one i sure hope the games dont increase is prices too 50 is enough... but damn i cant wait for the new morrowind, need for speed, perfect dark, and project gotham freaking pimp...

[assasain]
