www.ourcolony.net click the high, or low res and download the movie (it's zipped). Lotta detail in there. I think another of the ilovebees sagas is about to unfold :P .
Pretty awesome machine though and gaming should be spectacular soon.. Any idea when games will be announced?

Wow, looks nice, and the performance and graphics sound like they'll be pretty good as well, especially if you owna hi-def TV.

Do you think the upcomming PS3 will measure up or be any better than this new X-Box 360?

All I want ot know is if Halo 2 for the original Xbox will work on it.

gobs3z 05-13-2005 01:09 AM

I assume all the old X-box games will work on the new one, that would be retarded if they didn't.

Quote:

The 360 will sport a custom 500 MHz ATI graphics processor with 10 MB of embedded DRAM. The processor will be able to produce 500 million triangles a second and have a pixel fill rate of 16 gigasamples a second.

The console will also have 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM operating at 700 MHz. The systems overall floating-point performance will be 1 teraflop.
I'm kind of confused, it says it's operating at 700MHz and it's supposed to be better than any PC out there, but how does that make sense if PC's are running at 3.4GHz?

evoWalo 05-13-2005 01:27 AM

that's the bus speed of the RAM not the processor. AFAIK the fastest DDR1 ram is clocked at 400MHz.

have you also heard of the Megahertz myth? AMD's chips are clocked slower but perform faster than Intel chips on a clock per clock basis.

gobs3z 05-13-2005 01:30 AM

Is there specs out for the processor?

evoWalo 05-13-2005 01:33 AM

I know they'll be using 2-3 PowerPC G5 processors. Clock speeds will not be faster than 2.7GHz.

Details from MTV.com

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/150...headlines=true

I know it's MTV but they were the ones who were tapped by MS to debut the 360.

The system has similar storage and memory to a PC, according to Microsoft, with 512 MB of memory (eight times that of the original console) and three 3.2 GHz processors, far more than the single 733 MHz processor of the Xbox. The new system is also equipped with a 20 GB detachable hard drive, compared with a non-removable 8 GB drive for its predecessor.

So it appears I'm wrong and I'm impressed that MS was able to get 3.2GHz PPC G5s processors

Here's a screen cap of the next Dead or Alive game.

Sweet PGR3 is going to have the Mclaren F1 in road car form(LM I think) and Lambos.

The Sagaris is pretty sweet too. Best looking thing for me was Gears of War. GR3 looks cool, but people seem to replacing their pants all over the net because of it an I'm not really sure why.

Hmmm...............PC games and Console games will soon meet each other.

he7lius 05-13-2005 07:25 PM

You also need a new TV to take full advantage. :D

SFDMALEX 05-13-2005 07:56 PM

Ill buy one.*


*When they hack it, it halves in price. :D

styla21 05-13-2005 09:06 PM

Here are a few videos for some of the games expected at launch. I guess they would still be heavily in development seeing the console is 6 months away.
... - Gotham 3 w/ a Mclaren F1 LM :twisted:, and how good does Ghost Recon look!
