Xbox 2: Geruchten en feiten

Zoals JAGUAR al aangeeft is de naam nog niet officieel bekent, maar (als we de geruchten mogen geloven) wordt het waarschijnlijk één van deze drie namen: Xbox Next, Xbox 360 of gewoon xbox 2.

XNA is het zo i zo niet, want dat is de ontwikkelings software bedoeld om spellen mee te maken. (klik hier voor een recent intervieuw over XNA)

Nog een maand en dan weten we meer... ik kan niet wachten tot de E3

 

nog 42 dagen en dan is de E3...

Tja, veel ben je niet met die quotes, da's gewoon markting taal om de consumenten al lekker warm te maken voor de next xbox

 

Thank you Captain Obvious! :{

 

Er zijn weer nieuwe geruchten:

De xbox krijgt een 40GB HDD en een 120GB upgrade (het word mogelijk om games on-line te kopen en te downloaden -- goedkoper en je hebt de game voor dat retail hem heeft)

nieuwe controller is wireless (porototype of fake):




Halo 2 zal op de nieuwe xbox al geinstalleerd staan

 

Lijkt me fake, geen zwarte en witte buttons. En geen start en back knop voor zover ik zie.

 

Bah..!!! lelijke controller van mij mogen ze de oude nog best houde!

 

start en back knop zitten naast het witte bolletje in het midden

 

Waar heb je dat van Halo 2 gelezen?

 

Als dit bericht waar is, dan heeft Moore zijn mond voorbij gesproken en heeft hij heel de 'Our Colony site' ondermijnt:

bron

Overgens geen slechte zet van Microsoft

 

Dat zou inderdaad super reclame voor de xbox360 zijn.

 

Weet je wat pas echt een stunt zou zijn? Als Microsoft Duke Nukem Forever bij de launch lineup heeft, exclusief voor de Xbox 2.

 

Ik weet een etere:
ALS ZE EINDELIJK EENS IETS VAN PERFECT DARK ZERO LIETEN ZIEN!

 

Misschien is die Ourcolony wel van halo3 oid?

 

Ourcolony.net is op 12 mei afgelopen ... dus dan word xbox 360 mogelijk onthuld op MTV

 

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ik word gek man al dat gefantaseer over de xbox 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ff pilsje drinke om stoom af te blazen!

 

Denk niet dat het prototypes zijn. Zien er een beetje fake uit. En als het toch een prototype is, had ik toch wel meer verwacht van MS.

 

Dat denk ik ook. Ze zien er wel heel erg simpel uit en als het echt prototypen waren zou iemand van MS vast wel een beter fototoestel hebben .
Het lijkt me trouwens wel vet als 'ie draadloos wordt. Dan zit je tenminste niet meer met van die snoeren die je de hele tijd bij elkaar moet rapen om er niet over te vallen.
