there just letting people know taht theres going to be a new xbox, and when they do release it, itll probably be released in like 2006 or 07 because theres still to many good games coming out for xbox now, and they want to wait till everyones bored of it be fore they waste money producing new xboxes before squeezing out as much money as they can from xbox now

Well... the new XNA thing sounds pretty sweet. Which they need to release for Xbox so their only choice is making another console quickly.

Why would I want another (new) xbox when i'm still hooked on the first one? With the online play to the great single player games. I don't think it makes sense!

Because it's been out for 3 years, and it's time for the next generation consoles. Video cards have progressed quite a bit, along with all other gaming hardware. It's time. Xbox is going out with a bang though, with Halo 2, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2, it will be a good end to the xbox.

Exactly. i, like most people i know, upgrade pc hardware yearly. once a year i fully upgrade my pc, dumping like 800 into it. otherwise if begins to slow down due to more demanding products. same with xbox. there COULD be more amazing games with more amazing capabilities but the hardware is hindering this.

I've seen a demonstration, and read about the features of XNA, what they call the new Xbox2 SDK (Software Development Kit). It is so sweet. More on that in a moment.

The XNA is the ultimate answer to the gap between PC Gaming and Console Gaming. In the past there has been SDK's for each console and the PC. If you wanted a multi-platform game you had to port your work over from one to the other. As we know Ports are horrible. XNA allows you to develop your PC games and Xbox2 games on the same SDK. If this works as claimed, you get two platforms for the same effort you'd put into only one of them.

This means, more game developers are going to steer towards Xbox2 and PC since it has a larger distrubution angle. They've already released the XNA... and they're gearing up to get the Xbox2 out a year before the PS3. If they can... the market's going to be already glutted by Xbox2's and here's why--

Now, back to the demo. The demo opens up a blue sports car revolving in place. It's pretty, nice figure, wonderful lighting and reflections in the mirrored blue finish... lovely but unimpressive. We've seen it all before. Then the double doors open up revealing a length of tunnel. The siren sounds and the car barrels down full speed, getting up to about 320 kph before it slams into a wall. GOOD LORD... the car suffered real time deformation, perfectly, accurately depicting the warping of steel and the crushing power of the impact. The scene cuts, different angles of collision ensue. A wheel flies across the screen, every time the model is deformed perfectly, accurately depicting a real life crash.

All of this seems rather simple but the mathematics involved, the number of calculations... it's staggering. Then you think what it would be like if the marine driving the warthog next to you slammed into the corner of a building caving in his engine block, the entire vehicle almost wrapping itself around the edge of the building, a tire spins off slamming into a Grunt with the force of a melee attack and then finally the warthog explodes as you shake you head in bewildered shock at the realism and get back to killin' covies.

What I would like to see.... for Xbox2 is a cartridge slot like the old nintendo and sega systems. Instead of games however in those plastic forms would be video accelerators (possibly with additional memory capacity as well).

That way you could upgrade your system periodically and thus extend it's life for another couple of years.

So, a modern day Neo Geo, then.

With the same price tag, of course. ($300 for the console, $300 for a game)

Or, of course, a PC (or, at least a G5 Mac). Damn, they've been invented.

Just be happy that all the next gen systems, N5, XBox2 and PS3 are going to be absolute beasts.
