The company showed off the new console in a half-hour special on MTV last night. The device should be in the shops by Christmas, beating rivals Sony and Nintendo which are not expected to launch next-generation consoles until next year…
The device uses three Power PC processors, a custom ATI graphics processor, and more than 512MB of memory. The graphics systems have been designed for high-definition, wide-screen televisions.
Xbox 360 will also be a central part of Microsoft’s Digital Home strategy. A DVD/CD player is built in, and USB 2.0 ports allow music and images to be loaded onto the detachable 20GB hard drive.

I’m eagerly awaiting a breakdown cost for the new XBox. The original XBox is a lost leader—it costs about as much to make (or more) as its selling price. It’s a stalking horse for the software. Will the new XBox be the same?

Color me clueless. LOL…I finally bought an Xbox for my husband for Christmas; I think he’s used it twice. We’re not big gamers in my home.
Last time I played any home arcade game regulary was when Pong was still the biggest thing going. I will admit I enjoy DX-Ball on my insomniac nights. LOL..sorta like Pong on acid.
I guess I’m dating myself. LOL.
