I was at a Hastings (Big music/movies/games store) tonight and saw that xbox 2 will be out on June 1st, 2005...I didn't believe it. I actually refused to, since they haven't released the specs. why would they release a date to buy the thing. Comments Please.

That a;most coincides with the supposed release of Halo 3 on the 1st of August so you may be on to something there.

I can't judge anything until it is officially released by Microsoft so I just take it as rumour, albeit well sourced rumour....

Good find!

Game sites make up dates all the time, it's just when they expect the system to come out. So it's probably not gonna happen.

August seems more likely than June or July anyway.

I was told that it's not called the Xbox 2 ... and no, not the YBOX either before you ask.
N e one else heard of this "Xenon" or summats similar? Apparantly thats the name of Microsofts new console, unless thats jus the nickname for it for the developing stages.

I'm going with either Xbox Next or Xenon, but not Xbox 2. Sounds kinda lame...

As with Halo 2, retailers will give out the earliest date possible if they don't actually know the release date. It's done mainly to keep their customers excited and interested in the product. Think about it this way, if you thought that a game you loved was coming out in, say, three months from now, you're going to be alot more exited about it than if the game was coming out a year from now.

Simply said, Xbox Next isn't coming out in June. It’s an impossibility.

Yeh I don't think that MS would release the Xbox 2 at the start of the US summer.
