Ok, here you can post those things you're hoping get into Xbox2. Well, I'll start with my list.

1)Xbox2 to be backwards compatible.

2)If it's BWC then let it system link with Xbox1 for xbox1 games.

3)Don't need the kit to play dvds.

4)Ability to transfer your live account to your Xbox2.

5)If there are MP games that are on both pc and xbox2 let us play with pc gamers as well.

That's all I can think of for now.

Backwards compatibility(sp) mainly.

In-your-face processing powers.

Price around 200 dollars (like that would happen...)

Oh, and it being about half the size of the Xbox :-)

If that's the case I want the price to be zero.

Take away around 1/5 the size of the Xbox and that is what you will get with the Normal Xbox 2.

There will be a mouse and keyboard with the Xbox 2 PC.


For those of you who are lost now, there will be 3 versions of the Xbox 2. When it is released there will be Xbox and Xbox HD, HD standing for Hard Drive. There will be a Xbox 2 with no Hard Drive and one with one. This being because the Japanese market were turned away by the Xbox's large size(go figure). So Microsoft needs more reasons to waist money to make more.
Around a year after Xbox 2/Xbox 2 HD are released there will be Xbox 2 PC(also around the time PS3 will be making its way over to the states). It will be a Xbox 2 and a fully funtional PC, all for just around $600. The only downside(not really) will that it will only work on an HDTV or computer monitor. I will most likely be getting this version.

Xbox 2 will NOT be backwards compatible. Dont even dream it. They are using a different kind of processor so it would be impossible to play old xbox games on there.

Three Flavors Of Xbox 2
Posted by: Jeff on Thursday, November 11th, 2004
Type: News
Source: http://www.theinquirer.net

One of them will be like a PC, shock.

A SLIDE from a non disclosure agreement (NDA) presentation seen by the INQ points toward Microsoft launching three versions of the Xbox 2, one of which is a fully functioning PC.

The presentation, understood to have been given to analysts and market researchers in the UK earlier this year, plots a time-line for the introduction of the systems. Xbox Next and Xbox Next HD are planned for Autumn 2005, whereas the Xbox Next PC is penciled in for Autumn 2006.

The standard Xbox Next will not include a hard drive, which will allow Microsoft to cut costs on this basic unit. Xbox Next HD, as you might imagine, does include a hard drive and will offer increased functionality based on this. Xbox Next PC is, according to the presentation, an entry-level PC that runs Windows and all standard PC software. It also includes CD Burner, Wireless keyboard, mouse and controller and will work best connected to a high-definition TV or PC monitor. Media Center functionality - like movies, music and photos - is also included. The device will also play most available PC games.

System outline specifications note that Internet browsing and instant messaging would be key applications, and that the entire unit will be smaller than the current Xbox, although it will not be possible to upgrade the shipping memory or processor.

The year-long gap between the mooted introductions of the 2 standard Xboxes before the Xbox Next PC is an interesting decision, which suggests that Microsoft realizes the time that the market needs to acclimatise to TV media functionality. Since the Vole expects to ship Xbox Next before the Sony PlayStation 3, 2 versions of the console allow it to get the first wave out before PS3, but to also spoil the launch of Sony’s flagship by concurrently announcing the PC version

Please take not that the Xbox 2 hasen't been officially announced. Everything you hear is just rumors and speculation.

Yeh, now that you say, Bill hasn't announced it yet. But then, it would be stupid not to produce Xbox 2. Anywho, if an Xbox hasn't got a HD, how will it cope with savegames? Some kind of memoriestick?

If they're going to have an Xbox 2 HD and Xbox Without, they had better make them the same price. "What's the chance of the Tygon, ya idiot." Is what you must be thinking. Not very good. But the HD was one of the things that made the Xbox superior and gives it some of its processing power. If they want to target the Japanese with a smaller, HDless Xbox, they had better treat their current consumers with respect and not overcharge us because it's an 'option', when its predecessor came with one. Plus, I would be REALLY mad if the Japenese got it first because they want a jump in that market. It might cause me to go PC and abandon Xbox. Yeah, I said it. (Did I mean it, probably not... *sigh*, I feel so powerless...)

BlueRay disk technology.

Over 1.5 gigs of DDR2 ram.

A harddrive.

Blu-Ray is going to be amazing. I guess what I want from Xbox 2, though, is cube/optical storage. Also, being able to control DVDs with the controller would be nice. Bringing a bunch of DVDs to watch on vacation but forgetting the remote is painful.

Yah, Ummmm

It's Microsoft. No wait, common sence. Of corse Xbox 2 and Xbox HD would be different prices. It'll only be around a $50 difference.

There is no way in hell Xbox 2 would come out in Japan first. Microsoft is a US based company. Why do you think Nintendo and Sony hardware comes out first in Japan than US, because they are Japanese based companies.

Don't forget, Microsoft is all about making the green stuff... when they already have more than they need.

Does anyone know how much Xbox2 HD will cost? Also with Xbox2 pc how much is the cheapest HDTV? (I'm not looking for anything big, just a small tv but not too small)

Well, since the Xbox 2 hasn't been officialy announced, the price would be anyone's guess. Hope it is not to steep, though...

Whether you like it or not, Microsoft has done something wonderful for the computer industry. They've made a lot of money because of that, and that makes them, somehow, evil.
