Thats the thing i saw :D Impresssive huh? :D That looks like its just the base model aswell. There are two different ones, one is slightly better. Like one has a 40GB hard drive the other has 20. There are two forms of XBOX live aswell: silver comes with the 360 and can 7only be used at weekends. Gold is a subscription (your current one will carry on oevr onto 360) you cna play it anytime, its just like the current live except a few new features.

[Dante]

yup...with the gold version, u could use the eye toy apparatus and u could put ur picture up and battle with people

HOLY FUCK!

[Dante]

ill be honest...I have no idea what most of these specs mean

[Ravenous]

I know about half of them, soudns impressive though dont it?? :D

[Dante]

like, I know it sounds impressive...and I know it is poewerful, but like...I have no clue what they mean....only some though...Would someone care to explain what some of it means...>So i could get a better understanding

[SocKs]

is those specs are true, get ready to pay some high dollars for it...buying those things alone would cost about 500 ATLEAST

[Dante]

it is not gonna be that much....and those are the specs........it wil be about $300 maybe $400

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

lame lame lame lame lame overpriced overpriced overpriced

[Ravenous]

Would you care to explain how a games console which will be just as powerfull as a PC is lame? Also how paying less for those things than you would normally is lame?
You obviously dont know what your talking aout so shut up.

[SocKs]

Ok, let me explain this...3200 MHz processors cost over 300 dollars alone...tell me how they are going to sell it for 300 when once piece of hardware costs 300. And i know they wont make their own because microsoft doesnt make their own hardware. Either the specs are wrong or the price is wrong. And it wont be better than a computer.

[Ravenous]

We are just going on what has been said. This is what weve been told. If its true if its not then microsoft i hate you.

[Dante]

yea...this the specs that microsofts own J.Allard presented, now with marketing, they wouldnt dare sell it for $500 bucks because nooone would buy it. it is all about good marketing....but we'll have to wait and see

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

i bet some people would buy it. would you buy it for 500? if your willing to buy it for 300, your obviously rich enough to cough up 200 more dollars

[Dante]

$200 could make a big difference, so dont make it look like it isnt.
