Yeah, so it's this rumor this time. We'll see. I'm hoping for one.

Also as the smaller processors so it'll run cooler so they won't need as many fans so it'll be quieter and it'll also be smaller. It'll also wifi out of the box.

Don't worry. With so many xbox360 v1's out there, game developers won't be able to fully realize the potential of an xbox360 v2 without alienating a large portion of supporters. :)

With ANA, the 360 should downscale res just fine. Result? "No 360 owner left behind."

Sage for gb2/v/. :)

Microsoft screwing its customers? That doesn't surprise me.

>Microsoft screwing its customers? That doesn't surprise me.

... huh? you do realize that HDMI 1.3 wasn't out when the xbox 360 first came out, right? Or that the ps3 was the fist comerical appliance to support it? Sounds like MS was being smart in this case not releasing an hdmi that would raise the cost of the system any more... besides, if you bought a xbox 360 knowing full well it doesn't support HDMI, why would you get mad if they make future revisions of their product better? Moreover, how is the company "screwing over" it's customers by improving it's product?

... this is presuming, of course, that you are saying they are screwing over their customer for possibly putting in hdmi later... if you think they are doing so by not putting a 65nm processor in a mass marketed cheep item in 2005, your just crazy.

>>110430
I hope you guys realize that was a dev kit... I'd be surprised if they up the hdd size more than 60GB... if that.

>>110561
you do realize you can plug any old usb drive in there if you simply want to store/view files on the 360. It's called usb.

backing away from the company hate here, methinks they are slating this for a similar release time to the ps3 in Europe.... It would be a smart move on their part.

anyways, image relevant

And devs are fully aware that every person in the world with a core pack is going to do that.

... wait, last time I checked they were just putting HDMI on there, a scaler that supports HDMI, and a processor that produces less heat (they have no reason to make it more powerful overall, so any additional performance will due to it simply being 65nm instead of 90nm)

... and maybe a larger HDD, but I doubt that... keep in mind, this IS a dev kit.

So yeah, this is the old scaler. (ANA)

You're overestimating the average user. (think of all the external drives that 3rd parties will sell for far more than normal because they market it "for the xbox 360")

But yeah, plenty will.

And here's the new scaler (HANA)
... and with that, this image series is (probably) over

If this new Xbox 360 actually does make it out with a HDMI and a quieter processor, I'll be very happy. Presuming they can keep the prizes lowish. It'll be the cheapest way to enjoy HD DVD movies when you buy that player for it.

Don't get me wrong, you can enjoy them with the old X0. That just seems like a waste of resolution, considering that you have to convert digital information to analogue to digital again for your LCD/Plasma. So, digital all the way is the way to go.

Microsoft has a history of screwing over its customer base, and nothing has changed. Xbots are rushing to defend Microsoft, but the feedback has been very negative.

its kind of annoying if ti is to come out soon as i got one just b4 christmas, it depends on the price.

hdmi doesnt do shit for me as im on an old tv but the hard drive increase would be nice. if it is out soon ill just take my old console back to the store, say its broken and get the new one ....SIMPLE.

price wont be 600.
price will be $400 (120GB/HDMI) $300 (20GB/HDMI)

So, will v2 be able to play HD-DVDs, or do you still have to buy that 200$ attachment?
>> Anonymous
have to buy attachment.

v2 will just have HDMI, smaller cpu (so less heat/fan noise), and a bigger hard drive

MS has said they will never release a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray drive inside because they just cant read DVDs fast enough. crappy seek time.

You know, this is funny. It still costs more to get an XBOX 360 with HD-DVD and a wireless connection than it does a PS3 - and that's after upgrading the PS3 to have a 120GB hard drive. People still love XBOX 360, even after buying all the extra crap. I wonder why?

Oh, yeah, it has games.

Anyone seen the graphics comparison of the PS3 playing a PS2 game side by side? If you have you shouldn't wonder why the 360 is a better machine. That is just one of the reasons.

I saw the FF one. And even if the clip was a pre rendered one (!) it looked like utter shit. It was like it had a -4xAA on or something.

There is no difference. There is a PS2 chip in the PS3.

that video is full of shit. It plays them perfectly without any of that aliasing crap in that video. What it doesn't do is upscale the resolution of games. They just look the same as on PS2. What I'm wondering though is how that video exists though.

ps2 games look like shit over hdmi

they look normal on component

Spoiler: On an analog TV, which is what the PS2 and Xbox and Gamecube games were made to play on, everything looks better with component.
