Support NeoGAF

[Kiriku]

1. Support for DVD-video, DVD-Rom, DVD-R/RW, CD-DA, CD-Rom, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 cd, JPEG photo CD

Ah, I considered that as a possible answer, but I wasn't sure whether they were strictly talking about media center support or not (since they also mention CD-ROM, CD-R etc etc).

 

[norinrad21]

.....how much for a the gold service?

WTF Silver sounds like something for losers :lol

 

[pxleyes]

So, to those in the know- this is legit? I guess BlimBlim confirmed it.

There's what looks like a fact sheet thing about the Xenon later in that thread, along with this pic, showing the 360 and media center remote next to a Xbox:

Big problem with this pic. It is sitting on the side where the power cord and video cords plug in...

 

[VictimOfGrief]

If it supports DVD-R/RW won't pirating be a problem? It's probably do something like the DC Boot sequence and we all know how that worked out.

I"m sure whatever boot loader there is to get into the games, someone will hack it.

 

[mr_sockochris]

So silver doesn't get multiplayer online gameplay and yet it's LIVE for free? Ok...

Silver gets you Free Weekends by the sounds of it.

 

[McFly]

This pic is defenitly a fake!

[thorns]

If that pic is real, damn that's small! MS might have a hit in their hands after all, if they deliver with the games. The specs are definately impressive, for a console coming out in 5-6 months. I'm really excited about seeing the games.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Silver gets you Free Weekends by the sounds of it.

Which more or less MS is using that as a "promo" time for people to sign up for Gold.

The REAL kicker I want to know is if we can transfer our current LIVE accounts to LIVE 2 Gold account.

Who knows though.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I don't know much about specs. But the LIVE service is really evolving. It was already the best thing going. Between this and Perfect Dark I have to say it's the first home console I can't "wait a little while" for. Nice job.

 

[accord 4 me]

some of that seems questionable. but a lot of it looks real

 

[Project Midway]

yeah, am I going blind or can I see *through" the X360....top corner... :lol

 

[FiRez]

If it supports DVD-R/RW won't pirating be a problem? It's probably do something like the DC Boot sequence and we all know how that worked out.

The potential of modding has nothing to do with the media.

 

[Azih]

Detachable harddrive acts like a huge memory card so you can cart saves and your Xbox Live account to a friend's place.

 

[Funky Papa]

nm, this thread grows fast.

 

[Prine]

Silver = Free

Less amunition for the haters. They're running out of things to hate on, should be down to nil after e3 :lol

 

[megateto]

No cables? Not a single one?mmm

 

[Fatghost]

no info about bc

I'm guessing backwards compatibility just isn't going to happen.

 

[Bob White]

Hmmm, xbox 360 is looking really fucking nice. If PD0 is up to snuff I'm all over it. Plus a super duper Madden.....damn it. Its looking REALLY fucking nice.

I'm thinking bad thoughts sony, you better hype the shit out of my ass at E3.

 

[Nostromo]

Not 3.2*10*3?

I don't know anything about its scalar FPU
The specs don't even mention FMADD ops, but just DOT4 (7 ops per clock), so I used
an 'average' number of ops per clock

It's the first line listed....

- Seamless transition to Xbox Live account from Xbox to Xbox 360

 

[Project Midway]

Well you can always say Silver sounds like it is for losers. :\

:lol

It's photoshopped, PM. Come on now, man, you saw those Amped pics back in the day...do I need to throw a lense flare in there for ya?

Yeah I noticed when I looked it at again. I was just too excited.

 

[bitwise]

it's still "ugly" :lol

 

[Nostromo]

According what I know..those specs are 100% real and final.

 

[lexi]

Good times. *wipes tear from cheek* Good times.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Still nothing in these specs to suggest BC.

 

[Poona]

Where is the Backwards Compatibility info?

 

[bitwise]

Still nothing in these specs to suggest BC.

oh drop the sad pretense, you know you want to post the happy dance gif or something.

 

[Suerte]

I just cant understand what use a detatchable harddrive is.

Take your saves/music round to a friends house, choice for upgrading to a larger capacity, etc..

 

[Chittagong]

It took me approximately 3 sec to notice that the Xbox 360 is mirrored, the CD tray and HDD are on the wrong end.

 

[thorns]

About BC, I assume they're still trying to get it to work.. So even if we don't hear about it at E3, it MIGHT still make it in (since it'll most likely be just a software emulator..).

 

[Blimblim]

No cables? Not a single one?mmm

X360 uses magnetic induction for power. And there is no vga output because it writes the pictures inside your brain directly.

 

[Project Midway]

So,

- Can you use FF wheels with USB ports?
- Can you download/purchase music via Xbox Live and then transfer it to your cell phone/music device..? with wi-fi?
- Can you wirelessly upload photos from your cell phone and then use those pics with games and other apps?

I hope so.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

It took me approximately 3 sec to notice that the Xbox 360 is mirrored, the CD tray and HDD are on the wrong end.

on top of the fact that you can see whatever is below the 360 *through* the upper part of the console itself. Look at the power button and whatever the grey thing below it is.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

X360 FUCK YEAH

 

[gofreak]

I don't know anything about its scalar FPU

Cheers..I guess we can say it ranges from 76.8Gflops to 96Gflops depending on how this works out so

Still amazed that this is pretty much spot on with the rumours. Probably more X360 rumours have been true rather than false at this stage!

 

[Suerte]

MS WILL HAVE YOUR BALLS!

 

[Prine]

- Play music from portable devices * #

imo the best part! I've rigged my ipod up to my car, now its going to be used on my Xbox360, its nice to see companies facilitating for us. Custom soundtracka is a huge selling point for me

 

[B E N K E]

It's the only angle you really can't place the console... :lol

 

[megateto]

Hell no!! What am I going to do to with my aluminium helmet? Guess that makes the 360 a no-no for me...

 

[McFly]

Probably more X360 rumours have been true rather than false at this stage!

The negative or the positive ones? ;-)

At least one of the negative ones seems to be true, the CPU is "only" at 3.2 and not 3.5GHz.

[midnightguy]

holy shit, I cannot believe that I was the first to post this on GAF - after seeing it on TXB when I was checking GAF, I was, like, ok, for sure someone already posted it. but nope.

OMGWTF? :lol

 

[MassiveAttack]

By the time we get to May 12th, there won't be anything left to speculate. I've never seen so much leaked about any console, ever.

Next up: Game screens.

 

[Akia]

Its nice to know the Xbox 360 specs. Now we know what the "supposed" weakest of the 3 systems can do. The PS3 and the Rev can only go up from here.

 

[bud]

So Silver people get to play on weekends for free? NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God damn stupid kids running wild on XBL >


Anyway, awesome, awesome news. Ms making all the right moves, XBL for world domination!

Features for Gold service
* Also for Silver
# Also for Offline

- Free Xbox Live weekends *
- Multiplayer online gameplay

No, because multiplayer online gameplay is not for 'silver people.' Howeva, free xbox live weekends are for 'silver people' too.

 

[INTERNET]

I'm really more interested in seeing a shot of the backside of this thing at this point. PEACE.

[thorns]

so the thing about the dashboard was free xbox live? just guessing

 

[PS2 KID]

Did they just take that thread down at TeamXBOX?

Edit: copies specs just incase.

 

[trmas]

Those are very close to the specs I was told. I'm interested to see what Sony has up their sleeve since the PS3 is said to be more powerful. I mean, hell.

 

[Blimblim]

Next up: Game screens.

It could happen I guess, but few people have access to screens yet (I sure don't). So unless it's someone from one of the OXMs or Edge (Famitsu also, but I really can't see someone from Enterbrain leaking stuff) it's quite unlikely.

 

[gofreak]

holy shit, I cannot believe that I was the first to post this on GAF - after seeing it on TXB when I was checking GAF, I was, like, ok, for sure someone already posted it. but nope.

OMGWTF? :lol

That thread on TXB is gone now :lol If you want to know if a X360 rumour is true, just go to TXB and see what's getting locked/deleted
