I find alot of this hard to believe...

[seaneyb2003]

me too.. its only a games console

[AXmichigan]

uhh more than a 100 gig hdd?
yea, i noe ur kidding

[Tango87]

According to Xbox magazine here are some of the specs:
IBM Power PC G5 variant
Next-gen ATI Radeon variant
256MB RAM
Next-gen Xbox Dashboard w/ DVR capabilities
60 gig HD
Built in ethernet

This is straight from the source... Sorry Charlie no 100 gig HD

[AXmichigan]

60 gig is still alot
y so much hdd space?

[Quall999]

100gb hdd, new 64 bit processor 3ghz, blue ray dvd? lmao, must be in that world news paper thingy, that taks about bat boy and stuff. The new xbox 2 will cost like 1000 dollars if that were true.

Besides, MS would not do something so faulty as make the xbox upgradable on purpose, they would lose cash.

I’m still not sold on the fact that the XBox2 will be running CPUs made by IBM. As most of us know IBM makes the CPU’s for Apple’s G5s. Now if IBM were to make the CPUs they would have to lease x86 technology from either AMD or Intel. Why? B/c if IBM dose not, that would make the XBox2 incomparable with XBox1 games, b/c it would be more like a Mac-in-Trash than a PC. And it would take to long two try and emulate the XBox1 on an XBox2 plus this would require LOTs of power.

So I’m still kinda thinking AMD or Intel will make the CPUs. It would cost huge sums of money for IBM to get that x86 technology. Now even if IBM doesn’t make the CPUs I’m sure they will play a big part with some thing else.

Just my 2¢

[AXmichigan]

yea i was kinda curious myself about all the facts..
i guess well wait for official results
