Ok can you say PERFECT DARK ZERO!! THIS GAME ALONE WILL BOOST M$ WAAAAAAYYYY PAST SONY ITS ONE OF THE BEST FSP OF ALL TIME AND ITS BACK AND YOU CAN ONLY GET IT FOR XBOX 360!!!! AND JUST LOOK AT THE FUCKING POWER UNDER THIS BEAUTY OF A MACHINE!


the heart of Microsoft’s new system is the CPU, a triple core of 3.2 GHz processors, each capable of running two threads simultaneously, meaning the CPU can generate six threads at once. This power enables, among other things, programmers to give an immense amount of commands to the Central Processing Unit without strain. It also provides programmers with the ability to invent new algorithms in the future, giving them a healthy flexibility in the way they code games. General memory bandwidth is 5.4 GHz, with 21.6 gigabytes per second on the frontside bus connecting the CPU and the GPU.

The CPU is an amazing piece of technology, as it’s built with 165 million transistors in it, many the size of mere nanometers. IBM had three plants working on the development of the chips.

The CPU is joined by the GPU, the Graphic Processing Unit, which handles the graphic output of the system (and which has 150 million transistors in it), the Southbridge, which enables all of the Ethernet and controller issues, and the TV encoder, which handles resolution issues, such as progressive scan, interlacing and other TV related issues.

The GPU has the ability to generate 48 shader units using an advanced shader language. In the standard PC, you have both vertex shaders and pixel shaders, each working individually. In the Xbox 360, the shader units can do either, meaning you can have scenes with only a little bit of geometry and a tremendous number of effects, such as a fightng game with only two characters on screen (like Dead Or Alive 4). Or you can deliver tons of geometry with fewers effects, such as a a 100-person action online game (such as Possession or Huxley). It has 512 MB of main memory with a 10MB framebuffer. And it’s got 10MB embedded DRAM.

In discussing the design of the chipsets, Holmdahl’s very focused conversation included elements we weren’t aware even took part of console design. “We worked with wind tunnel companies to decrease the noise and sound of the system." All computers have fans or cooling systems to keep the silicon from melting, and the Xbox uses a combination of both. It has a built-in, air-tight coolant system that looks like a miniature water heater. It sucks the hot air out of the core chip area and passes it through a carefully engineered wind tunnel to exit it out of the system. Other chipsets use miniature fans to keep the heat down. “This system will be quieter than Xbox 1." Which is saying something, considering how loud the PlayStation 2 is in comparison.

The full official spec list is as follows:

* An IBM PowerPC based CPU with 3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2 GHz each
* A custom ATI Graphics processor and more than 512 MB of memory for high definition games and entertainment applications
* All games optimized for 16:9 aspect ratio, HD Output (720p and 1080i); multichannel surround sound output
* Detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive to download demos and trailers along with new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, skins, community-created content, and more; to rip music for playback and to listen to custom play lists in every game
* A wireless controller with Microsoft-patented wireless technology; Xbox Guide Button on every controller, the launch pad that instantly connects gamers to their games, friends, and music and to power on or power off Xbox 360 without leaving the couch
* Gamer Profile software that remembers what players have achieved in games
* Instant, out-of-the-box access to Xbox Live, including: a built-in Ethernet port for connectivity; Xbox Live Marketplace for downloadable content; a Message Center to receive voice and video messages from friends; ability to talk to friends, even while watching movies or listening to music; and an Xbox Live Headset
* 3 USB 2.0 ports for Xbox Live Camera peripheral; to plug in wired game controllers that are also common for Windows PCs; to stream media from any portable media device, digital camera, and Windows XP PC
* Progressive-scan DVD movie playback out of the box; DVD and CD music and photo playback out of the box; support for DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 CD, JPEG Photo CD
* Windows Media Center Extender built in to access recorded TV (including high definition) and digital movies (including high definition), music, video and photos stored on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005-based PCs through any Xbox 360
* Support for up to four wireless game controllers and an optional Universal Media Remote with Windows® XP Media Center Edition Button for Media Center Edition functionality
* Support for Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter via 802.11b, g and a
* Interactive, full screen 3D visualizers
* Two memory unit ports to save data on portable memory units, starting at 64 MB
* Detachable Face so each console can be personalized
* Parental Controls to restrict the games and movies that are played; Xbox Live controls to manage Friends List, voice and video communication, and Gamer Profile sharing

Ok well where to begin?
First of all x-box and ps seem to target different types of people: ASSBOX for first person shooters and multyplayer games (for which u have pc) and playstation more for adventure/rpg single player.
Morover, from reading this thread, x-box seems to target idiot retarded little american fag ass kids with too much time on their hands and with serious mental issues and anger problems(probably parents abused u little rambo halos when u were young, didnt they?). As for specs look them up and also look at the numbers....some people are really dumb. How can u say x-box is better than ps2 when ps2 outsold it 4 to 1 (some of u probably got mixed up here but its ok if your too stupid to understand this maybe u shouldnt use the internet anyway).
And lastly, for those angry fag ass ASSBOX boyz who swear at playstations and their fans, we all know ur broke and somewhat mentally retarded little kids with problems, and maybe u should find some other way to get off than to swear on forums
gnite and fakoff

the PS2 outsold the Xbox because it had over a years head start, plus it had a Huge following from the PS1 era.

the PS2 may have outsold the Xbox 4-1 but that doesnt make it the better machine.

the volkswagen beetle (original)is probably the most sold car ever- but no-one is going to say thats the best car right?

anyway back to the consoles: the xbox is the best current machine, its power is unequalled and it has a big range of top quality games e.g. FPS: Halo2, Doom3 (half-life2 is still coming), Driving: Project Gotham Racing2, Forza motorsport and Rallisport challenge2 RPG: KOTOR, KOTOR2, Morrowind, Jade Empire and Fable. and more...

if the 360 has more games like the above and wider varieties it will do well

From what I’m reading it seems people dont like
choice. They HATE the xbox, and they want PS to be the only console on the market

If thats true you all need go get your dad’s shotgun and fire it into the empty space between your ears, filling it with lead might give you the extra brain power you need to realise that it would SUCK if we only had one choice

I dont hate the Playstation but I didnt buy one because I thought the Xbox is better, and I stil think it is, and the controller is PERFECT! and the size of the console does not bother me one bit!

So I’ll just go play FORZA MOTORSPORT/HALO 2/DOOM 3/JADE EMPIRE/NINJA GAIDEN/RALLISPORT CHALLENGE2/UNREAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2 and then later maybe I’ll play a bit of San Andreas or Half Life 2

And in the meantime you PS Fanboys can go mark you calendars for the PS launch of Halo

Besides every PS2 I have had has broken.
That’s where they get their sales.
The Xbox is tough though, I fell on mine, broke my arm, and the Xbox just sat there. I mean, it didn’t even crack. NOW, THAT’S COOL.

Now when you tell me a piece of crap that breaks when you sneeze is better than Xbox, I’ll die of laughter.

PS Fanboys, Don’t forget to mark your calender for the PS launch of HALF LIFE 2 also!!

Do you know why you’ll never see it on PS2? Because it’s not capable of playing a game of this calibur. Wait, it’s not capable of playing any games worth a Shit!!

X360 rules!!!

DUDE THE XBOX 360 IS SO GONNA OWN THE PS3. I MEAN THE OTHER WAY ROUND. THE PS3 IS GONNA PWN WITH A P THE XBOX 2. I MEAN 360. SONY IS WAY COOLER THAN MICROSOFT, BECAUSE MICROSOFT IS WAY, WAY LESS COOL.
YOU GUYS ARE ALL N00BS FOR SAYING THAT THE OTHER CONSOLE, WHICHEVER ONE I SAID SUCKED, WAS ACTUALLY GOOD, BUT YOUR WRONG COS YOUR N00BS. IN CLOSING, IF YOU LIKE THE PS3 THEN YOU ARE GAY. I MEAN COOL. XBOX IS GAY.

Ill put it this way, first, each of the 360’s CPUs runs at 3.5Gz and second, how about we all just wait till after E3 to make our predictions on the systems and which will be better.

And for now Ill be getting the Xbox360 first, but Ill probaly end up getting both

lets not forget what happened to sega when they release sega saturn, Sony wipped their ass with psx, than when sega tried to get a lead into the 2nd gen with Dreamcast, sony shut them up with PS2. Now even though Microsoft is a bigger company than sega, History is bound to repeat itself with microsoft strategy for their lunch of xbox 360.

and plus, Ps3 is being developed by 3 different companies that invested 40 billion each, soo odds are that PS3 will take over the 3rd gen of entertianment console, just like how they captured the handheld market.

Whow!! Three different companies? Sounds like a lot of bumping heads. Heard there having a lot of problems with there Next Gen hardware. Yhea, uh, Good Luck There. Better off just buying an X360 while your waiting for your precious PS3.
Oh, and speaking of Dominating, what about Online Gaming? We all know that is the future of gaming. Well the Future for PS but reality for XBOX!!

I highly doubt three companies spent 40 billion each on one product, they would have to sell one to everyone on the planet and still make a loss

And even if they each put in equal amounts it would mean they each get a equal share of the profit, SONY would never do that.

Also i love how you PS fanboys always have some word like “EMOTION ENIGNE” or “CELL” that you keep saying to yourselves to feel better
WE know what the EMOTION ENGINE did, it specialised in jaggies and crap graphics
Lets see what CELL does....

You’re a moron. 3 companies investing 40 billion each? There are 3 companies in the world with that kind of capital onhand. Microsoft, General Electric, and Exxon-Mobil.

Sony has spent what looks to be closer to 80 million dollars for the patent for the cell design for the PS3. Microsoft has spent close to half a billion for development of future hardware platforms. Considering that includes the Xbox and only the Xbox, Microsoft has outspent sony in terms of development.

The hardware specs on the Xbox 360 are greater than the PS3 in every respect, despite it coming to market a year earlier, and for what is expected to be a LOWER price. If Microsoft can continue to lure game developers to develop for the xbox as well, the market can and will shift.

And here’s why:
PS3 is a game console.
A DVD player (most likely)

Xbox 360 is:
A game console
A TiVo with limited functionality.
A DVD Player
A sound system with Dolby 5.1 TrueSurround
A free phone to talk to people
A teleconferencing center with a webcam
An online server based community.

Personally, I’ll stick with my Neo. No system has been able to put out the good 2-D classic fighter games like that, and I don’t suspect anyone else ever will with the new 3-D everything.
