In case anybody cares, the Xbox 360

I figure, what with the post about the ps3, I'd post something about the new xbox:

I guess I have no interest in Xbox or it's 360. But kudos to them for making one I guess. The design reminds me of PS2 cause it stands up now.

I wonder what Nintendo's next system is going to end up being... As they are supposedly working on one... Maybe they'll just go straight for the handheld gamecube hardware instead...

The new nintendo system sounds alot less impressive. It is reportedly 2 times as powerful as the gamecube. While the competition claims their systems are 10 times more powerful than their previus systems.

Who knows how this will turn out tho.

Well, it looks pretty nice. Of course they're going wireless as well... If this keeps up, that thing will probably be Nintendo's last console...

Heh, found this by accident, somewhat related:

Finjan Identifies Security Vulnerability on Microsoft's Xbox360(TM) Website

Funny thing is, Microsoft fixed it fast, which isn't exactly something they do for other software they have...

hmmm heh well I pretty much talked all about this (off and on topic abit in my other topics, err heh look at what is new and you will see, where Billy Gates claims he has not seen 'any' profit from anything XBox, yet still says and claims 'all homes will soon ahve this XBox 360 a few in each house hold, it is the NEW PC, and gosh, old Billy maybe is just insane? I mean well sorta serious, you know how people with really high I.Q.s are just insane and crazy? Like Enstein (spelling?) was smart as hell...yet could not 'remember' if he had put both his shoes on without looking, and many times and stories I hear was always spotted walkign around with one shoe and such. Maybe old Billy is like that too? he ripped off and modified windows and gave that to us, and XBox and now XBox 360... but complainign about no profits----please. Also his little rants about NO cheating on his new system, yet the whole world will have them.

Hell, I do wonder if we are becomming and comming to the Star Trek times... we soon maybe will go to the Bill Gates 'hospital' and have an XBox 360 implanted into our chests and anyone without one is killed and chopped into bits and fed and sold as cat food and dog food, and dogs and cats will also have these XBox 360's also inplanted insode them. In other words, Bill Gates ='s The Borg. As he said, ALL will have one. :roll:

Also note, that Time said this, but after seeing the 360 I do agree also, it stands up and looks like a microphone OR a sex toy, depends on your 'likes'.... err looks like a sex toy to me err woops. :P

That is rather starnge you said that LMZ, as is in 'rumors' not mean it is not true, but there are rumors going around, saw it posted in EGM today in my new July issue that the next Nintendo hand held will be a hand held GameCube. Q-Man says this is not impossible, but 'may be a rumor' as is... the ability to read GC discs he said would take enough battery power to make the battery life of a PSP (2 hours) seem like forever. Meaning unless Nintendo makes a 'special' only for this device battery with ALOT of power space, a few double A's will keep it running err about 4 minutes.

Nintendo may make their own special battery, again not out of the question, just not sure yet, but for sure, if this is and was the big N's next plan, hell, the mag and all agree so far, it would blow the monkey balls off the PSP flat out. A GC game on the go, that would be the BEST hand heald ever, I have to agree, but as far as 'price' of special batteries, and even if the big N makes them.....not sure. ummm a $60.00 speical battery (like those camcorder batteries yet made special by the big N would be more costly) or a few hundred double A's in the thing which would drag your arms so bad, you'd look like Mr. Fantastic. from fantasic 4 within a few walks of holding to the thing. but ehh at least it would not be stolen ever with that many double A batteries, unless Super Man wants one for free. :shock: :P

The reason I said that, is so far all of Nintendo's handhelds were almost exactly the same sort of hardware they were previously selling as a home unit... And the DS is pretty well a portable N64, so the next obvious one would be a handheld Gamecube. But, this is unlikely for a few years, if ever. Nintendo has come to the end of their hardware production abilities, which they've all but admitted with the 'revolution'. Instead of producing very high end hardware, which they have not the means for developing anymore, they're making something a bit faster than the gamecube, and packing in an emulator that does their older hardware... Nintendo hasn't exactly been happy about people emulating their stuff before, which kind of makes me wonder what they're trying to pull...

Well they did make that N64 handheld emulator thing for China, on which you could purchase games from kiosks or whatever and download them to your cart to play. Maybe that was a test product to see how well they could fend off piracy on something they support emulation with??

That's not something Nintendo made, if I remember right...
