XBox 360 on Gamespot

[FarFarAway]

I'm loving the look of the new Xbox. Looks sweet and the hardware is pretty cool.

A 3 core CPU, each core running HT?!?! And the ATi next gen GPU looks quite sweet! Not sure why they only put in 512mb tho!

Read all about it here....

And yes this IS worth reading Dave.

The 165-million transistor chip will run at 3.2GHz, and it'll have a vacuum-sealed, water-cooled heat sink to handle heat dissipation.

And some sweet w/c'ing!

Wow this console could turn me back into a console gamer looking at the full spec list... The processor is quiet obviously the shiznit in every catagory but what Im currently jizzing all over is the 48 pixel pipeline ati chip theyre going to be using, that's fuckin mad yo... I dont even think the next gen R520 is going to have that many pipelines!!!!

I wouldnt give that too long... In fact after releasing this info Im sure both ATI and Nvidia are working hard on making next gen cards as we speak that will pwn the Xbox 360. Comps will be the king forever but this console will be a big movement in the right direction!

This console is definately on my must purchase list now. Do we have an ETA for it?

Rgr, I'll try and set aside aabout $800+ to splurge on one and get me some games and accessories. There's nothing worse when a hot new console comes out and you dont have the money to buy anything but the console and one shitty ass game w/ no extra controllers etc.

This definately looks like a winner though and I must have one!

Yep looks like a must have...but then the PS3 looks nifty too "over a 4GHz processor" and "the next gen graphics by nvidia"....seriously these two are gonna be immense!!

TBQH I've never been a big fan of the PS series... I think they're great and all but I've found much more love and better gaming experience on other consoles. I definately want to see what nvidia brings to the table for Sony though, I'm sure it will be amazing.

Amazing enough to beat the Xbox 360? Probably not..... The move to use PowerPC procs in the new Xbox was dead on, couldnt have selected a better processor myself for the task at hand!

Yeah that was a great move on MS's part. As was owning the rights to the procs themselves....
