The Xbox 360 Unveiled

You may or may not have caught the Xbox 360 unveiling on MTV Thursday night, but the internet will provide. A plethora of sites have photos, videos, commentary, specifications, and interviews about the new system. Your fellow readers have pulled together to provide links to: 1up.com, Joystiq, Gamespot, The BBC, CNN, NYT, Gamespy, Team Xbox, Voodoo Extreme, Anandtech, and eToyChest. The official Xbox 360 site opened last night as well for word straight from the source. For more official images Ourcolony.net has been 'solved', and now features an OurColony specific video preview. Finally, for commentary on the event, the Video Game Ombudsman provides an alternative to the press releases. From the post: "Kyle Orland (9:28:42 PM): The future of gaming is a girl in a blue dress? Dan Dormer (9:28:47 PM): The future of gaming is a girl with a bag? Kyle Orland (9:28:57 PM): She's the Xbox! OMG!"

Re:PowerPC CPU?

I'm suspecting it's probably not 3 distinct cores, but something akin to intels hyperthreading. It's really like 2.5 processors. They've got 2 or 3 logic units and 6 fpu but they share bus lines and address space and have probably some common registers.

Yes but the competition for the contract for the next xbox's proc was so steep that they are banking on paying for all that research in the future in the mac market with rediculously overpriced units which we all know apple users are willing to buy. Afterall, the dual G5 does do a gausian blur in photoshop much faster than the G4. Imagine a G6!!111 It will make your images blur so fast you will think you are drinking a zima (after all, we are talking about a mac user).
