You seem to not understand, when a new game platform is out, they wont charge alot for old games, unless you think you paid 50 bucks for PS1 game.

I heard that xbox 2 is going to have a removable hard drive that doubles up as an mp3 player, kinda like an i-pod.

Halo2 won't sell for twenty bucks. Not for a few years anyway.

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.



i dont know if id want a cartridge in the xbox 2 because it seemed like the games had a tendenct to get dusty or old and wouldnt work.

If they did however they should still keep the old drive but use the cartridge thing only for upgrades this would allow you to beable to play xbox1 games

I'm pretty sure it's called Xenon.

Hey, what do you know... I found it. As requested, here's the link where I procured my information. I know little about the hardware save it uses the new IBM G5 processor thing that all the next generation consoles are going to be using.

In the article it also says that they're going to emulate Xbox games on the new system so they will be backwards compatible and they've already fielded out this task to a group that has experience with it.

Secondly, I don't think it's in this particular article but I read in one that Microsoft was doing something never done before. The XNA is pretty much done, they're using it to make Dark Sector. Now they have numerous companies working on different components for the system instead of the way Sony's doing everything themselves. Since each company is concentrating on only one component they're hoping to get the system out five times faster so that they can monopolize the market.

Another thing I liked is the mention of cross-platform in the Kikizo article, PC to Xbox combpatibility for controllers in the future. Sounds like USB to me but that's just conjecture.

Simple. The IBM processor the consoles are moving to is POWERFUL. A leap in design. It's not going from Pentium 2 to Pentium 3. It's like going from 486 to Pentium. It's HUGE. If you were around back then you would remember your jaw gaping.

To put it mildly IBM has managed to build a supercomputer for the price of a desktop. You could run a bank on these new processors. It doesn't have just one CPU. It has multiple processors linked to work concurrently.

Go download the technical demonstration video and the Dark Sector teaser and you'll understand. If you can get it, the server has bandwidth issues once in a while.

Xenon's release date is 2007 people.



^^^^This guy is clueless. First there has not been a name yet made for the next Xbox, second the release estimate for the next Xbox is late 2005.
