The Xbox 360 Unveiled

Posted by Zonk on from the i-have-to-write-xbox-360-for-the-next-five-years dept.

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!"

  2. "Tiger Woods" on the MTV show.. by falzbro · · Score: 1, Troll

    The grass in Tiger Woods '06 looked like a 3DFX Voodoo 1 texture blur-mess. Another game that they showed, and I don't know which, was running at about 15fps. This is what 3 * 3.2ghz) gets us?

    Also, is it possible that this new box is even LARGER than the first?
