Xbox 360 Information

MAny of the people who search this thread are looking for Halo and Xbox related topics. What I have here is nothing more than links to Xbox 360 documents I have found usefull and enjoyable. This should end ignorant rumors floating about and help fire up the anticipation for this upcoming system. you can find many bits of usefull information [url=http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox/1141/Xbox-360/#news] Here [/url] [b] How Awesome will the next Xbox be? [/b] Confirmed facts indicate that the next Xbox will have [b]three 3.0Ghz CPUs[/b] operating in parallel. This has mixxed effects. 3.0Ghz is not that powerfull of a CPU. Intell and AMD are coming out with 'Procs in the 4.5 - 5.0 range (expensive, but they exist). The upside with this is the fact that there are three of them working and operating at full capacity. This does not mean that the X360 will run at 9.0Ghz, but instead it means that tasks will be separated into three different sections and each section will be processed individually at 3.0 GHz. [b] How awesome will its games look!? [/b] The GPU (video Card) will be quite awesome. For those of you who know anything about videocards, Think about this: A Dx10 compatable card, Vs3.0, 256Vram, and to put the cork on that bottle, it will have a faster clock than two Gforce 6800 ultras in SLI. For those of you who don't much understand the whole computer scene: I will just say this: Doom 3, HalfLife 2 and Far Cry look like crap compared to what this system can produce. [b]What Will It look Like?[/b] Well, The most lagit picture is this one [url=http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/8112/Xbox-360-Exposed/] on the Team Xbox page [/url] [b] Halo 3 or Halo 2.5? [/b] No announcements yet. I like to keep my hopes up, though. If you look at the Halo 2 Theatrical trailer, the E3 Announcment trailer, and the teaser Halo 2 add, they all demonstrate killer visuals that werent seen, or possible in-game. perhaps this is a clue to a Halo 2.5, perhaps it's just marketing. [b]UPDATE:[/b] Some awesome screens (yes, I said SCREENS) of a next-gen xbox title "2 Days to Vegas" have been put up on IGN. This game is said to be a next gen Xbox360 action game resembling Grand Theft Auto. See them [url=http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/744/744413/imgs_1.html]NOW![/url] [b] MAY 12th [/b] Has anyone heared of the date May 12th? well, thats the day MTV was given to OFFICIALLY REVEAL the next-gen Xbox. What? MTV? Microsoft is using the May 12 presentation to get a jump on the audience and in-turn spark more interest BEFORE the E3 expo one week later. All I can say is 'I can't wait!'
