Get the goods on the newest iteration of the box, anyone know of a set price?
Box

The last I read, there was no announced price. However, the article said it is expected to be released in the US for 300 US dollars!

Which, if i recall correctly, is about 128 pounds. (if thats the correct terminology)

Yeah, see how long that idea lasts. About the same as this part:

"There is nothing wrong with our consoles! They are in perfect working order!"

*Few months later*

"No power cords work! Send them back!!!"

*rolls eyes*

its gonna be 300-500

1080i on full anti aliasing with 10megs of dram, holy sh*t

wait it has a cell multicore right? but its graphics aren't gonna be as good as pc still so in ur face microsoft

Exfoliate · 14-05-2005, 06:51 PM

300-500! Heck the gfx card alone costs more than that. I'm very impressed

Of course I personanly think they should have developed their own card or used SLI becuase while that's the fastest current card it's going to be pretty dull in a few years like everything else.

it's a computer. that's all it is. Just a computer with some fancy parts and a fancy OS.

Interesting...G5's. I personally thing that Sony and MS don't remember how to make good contollers, neither of their controller designs for the Xbox360 nor the PS3 appeal to me, the 360's is too cluncky and the PS3's is too long and narrow (reminds me or the N64's controllers).
Oh, and any word on the upcomming console form Nintendo?

Waffle · 19-05-2005, 08:14 PM

hahaha..guess they couldn't afford to have the BSOD ruin the 360's grand unveiling...

ninja fetus · 19-05-2005, 10:49 PM

hahahaha macintosh!

Nic · 19-05-2005, 11:34 PM

Looks good but im still only getting the PS3...Im a sony fan through and through else I would of had a choice problem here

ninja fetus · 19-05-2005, 11:35 PM

I'm not a sony fan, but I am not by any means going to support the XBOX 360!!!! (such a cheesy name!)

Exfoliate · 20-05-2005, 03:06 PM

Very dumb name, Xbox 2 isn't by any means origional but at least it makes sense. I'd opt for the PS3 myself, it's just going to be newer and faster, I want the best. Though by the time it comes out the pc's wont be far behind anyway. It would be cool if Samsung made a console, that's a company with some nice ideas.

Addis · 21-05-2005, 05:17 PM

And although the XBOX 360 will have 3 IBM CPUs at 3.2GHz the PS3 uses the much awaited Cell. With 12 or so smaller CPUs and an original architecture hopefully it will do more than a brute computing force method of its counterpart.

ninja fetus · 21-05-2005, 08:19 PM

the cell has the capability of decoding 48 high-definition videos and resize them all to play simultaneously on one screen. crazy.
