take with a grain of salt, of course

the graphics give that feeling of excitment again. honestly they made my heart jump. the first game they allowed us to test was pdo. no jaggies, no load time, textures was soo amazing you could go up to an industrial beam, as your looking at it, the paints chippin off, the bolts are really there, rust even looks real. everything is 3-d. no flat surfaces here. and it has a much cleaner look than xbox. i mean the way 3-d objects look. like grass. it is grass. each blade. but my favorite was a movie clip of elder scrolls. just the pure size of that game will change the way you feel about game worlds. kameo is also looking better. how ever it still has that cartoony look, but more like a cg on a computer. the controller feels like the controller s. the main difference is the smooth face. its real smooth feeling. it gives it a grip feeling. a real good grip. best part though, the controllers from the 360 are a little heavier feeling then the s type. and no the xboxlogo doenst move. its just on the controller.

they only showed us the basic model. they then showed video of the 360 hd edition. how ever i did pick up on one thing the guy givin us a speech had said, the xbox 360 can play xbox 1 games at a higher resolution. i believe he said 720 standard for older games played through the 360. but it was not quiet in that place. ever. even when the moments of revealing something new came, everyone just kept playing games, and talking about how they cant believe they are playing a game that looks like this.

(about hdd)
1. it is an option. yes. we only got to play basic models. none had memory units attached.

2.the processors are not 4 ghz. none ever add up to it either. each one instead runs a differnt part of the system at 3ghz. but ill tell you this. no load times. ever. and the few developers who spoke, said the set-up is perfect for games. they never mentioned cell, but they said the 360 has all the power the nex-gen needs. and more! speecifically the japanese developers. they think the 360 has more power than they felt the nex-gen would. that got me really exited.

3.they are customizable. but the show only had a white or pearl, colored xbox. and it never turned green from the side. thats wrong. but it looks so good up close, you wont care. i swear it.

(about wireless controllers)
yes they are !!!!!!! i love the new controllers. it seems ms spent alot of money perfecting them. and the usb on the bottom, that is intresting. imagine downloading a combo set for a character and puting them right into your cntroller. thats onna be a cool feature.

well i gotta go attend to my store. but believe the stuff online, cause thats what we got to see. the show rocked but not everything was revealed there. so dont let people tell you it was. the system specs. was not. but yes thatt is the 360 that was at the show. i am confiming it for you guys. that pic is the real deal. the system is smaller than xbox. no its not as small as the ps2. yes it's heavy! the color is white. not with green flakes or any of that stuff. the communicator looked the same, but the start up screen will seem familiar. this is it girls and boys. ive seen it. ive played it. im still drooling for one. my # 1 wish list item is the 360. and very , very soon. it will be yours too.
 
today i recieved an e-mail that i broke a contract by talking to you guys. i wonna say that i had no intention to participate in any illegal activities by making this post. i herby issue a full apology to microsoft , the 360 fans and this site , for achknowledging any ascociation with the 360. i never mentioned anything that was a give away. i do not intend to carry these nor any more actions of any sort, or involvment with the 360. i will furthermore restrain from these boards till no sooner than may 15th.

sorry guys , i got in big trouble today. i never thought anyone would check into it. but i guess you leave tracks every where you go. i thought it was cool to talk a little. but it's not. your excitement isnt without justice. believe me, be very excited. but the man , has taken his authority. and smacked me with it. i aint trying to get sued over this. i just wonna share my love for the game industry. im not leaving yet. but be sure your questions are very well thout out. id appreciate it.
:lol
i don't know if this whole thing is real or not.

Best quote.

"Don't look behind the curtain! Right here in front of your eyes, all you'll ever need!"
 
BS or not, this guy really isn't telling us stuff that we don't already know. All of this could have been pieced together from various articles over the past few months...hell even days.

We will know the truth soon enough, I'd rather just throw salt in this punk's eyes. :lol

He never said that. Why won't this urban legend die?

He did say consumers would never need multitasking because all they'd use it for is background printing which could already be done in DOS.

A random Gamespot forum douche.
 
To all the people laughing: yes, it is funny, and it is BS, but the Xbox 360 is one hell of a machine.

It just hit me now - THREE 64-bit PowerPC cores at 3.2GHz with Altivec, 512MB of RAM (when you consider this is almost entirely dedicated to games, it's a huge amount), and a pretty incredible sounding GPU make an impressive combination. Relative to PCs at the time PS2/GC/Xbox launched, this is much, much more powerful.

I'm probably going to not just take the leap, but take the leap and purchase another for when it gets cracked. Mac-on-linux on this thing would be a beast, with the memory being the concern (and even then a slight one) It would also make for an excessively powerful GNU/Linux or Darwin server.
 
USB to download combos on to your controller?
