For specifications on the XBox 360's hardware go to
http://www.xbox2-news.com/content.php?content.1
( I Truely doubt the processor speeds - but how would i know)

Also The XBox 360 may possibly having a iPod based drive (use your iPod)
- apparently to lower costs - I doubt that but (both lowering and using iPods)
i saw this on The Screen Savers on The How To Channel on Foxtel Digital Australia

does the 360 mean its 360 bit?

(eew silver ... )

[HybridShadow]

I dont think so?
No idea - but the specifications page say 64bit - (It also said dual 3.2ghz 64bit)
I dont get it Nintendo 64 had 64bit processors it took a while for PCs to get 64bit

Anyone else got more info?

The wireless controllers look ugly

[Genome]

yes they do! thanx your the first person to agree with me.
i personally think xbox should stick with black.

With PC's that would bring the hassle of having to convert all the excisting software to 64-bit, something that doesn't apply to consoles since every new console needs completely new software anyway.

i honestly doubt the ipod HD rumour. m$ assisting a MAC product? i doubt itll happen. from the bits n pieces i have heard (i honestly dont care much for the technical hype of next-nex-gen consoles) there will be different size HDs available

[HybridShadow]

yeah i thought so to
i agree on the diferent size hard drives avail since they are optional
if you want backward compat. u need the optional hard drive

[donkeyknob]

oh really? i thought it was technically impossibly for xbox 360 to have backwards compatibility. again, i didnt look very far into it. i just wonder what they will do with the backwards compatability/halo 2 issue

[HybridShadow]

apparently it will have no problem with playing Halo 2 ( ithink they will remake it in 16:9 with HD and 5.1) and for older games it will use the extra video ram for more anti alaising stuff
