Magazine cover with a pic of [url="http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/magazines/duke-nukem-first-look-game-in-20…"] Prey[/url] (using the Doom 3 engine), and some news on the appearance of Duke Nukem Forever [:0]
Take a closer look at [url="http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/36060/Xbox-360/"]this pic[/url]. It says 40GB on the side, and I'm guessing that cap/section is the slottable HD expansion?
Firstly, looks like we've moved from black, through silver to white as the 'cool' home entertainment meme for the moment. Ho hum. Where's my black, rack profile version I ask? Plain black, aluminium/steel chassis and fits in with my amp and DVD player - that's what I want!
Secondly, a tech demo of a game (ie: Duke Nukem Forever) is not a complete game. I have doubts they're actually committed to ever finish it. I predit we'll see Halloween Harry Forever before Duke I bet! [;)]
Looks a lot like a small PC to me. I thought the whole point of having an X-box was having a console that was so big that if you wanted to, you could throw at a person and kill them instantly.
Any idea on a price point? Will Bill Gates be trialing the option of simply trading your soul for one rather than paying currency?
Yes they are going to revile the Xbox 360 on MTV, world over before E3 as a way to connect to generation X, there is a preview on Australian MTV. I'm sorry I don't remember the date but google it to find out.
I can't see the preview being any more interesting than the E3 presentation: "Here's the Xbox360 and here's the specs, we do have games lined up for it but we don't have any content to show you. Instead we'll make you cream your pants at the amount of RAM it has. Did I mention the PS3 is the spawn of Satin? That?s why our's is white ...... now"
Sorry I sort of trailed off there but that?s how I imagine the MTV show will be.
mcdrewski - little do people know that Nick and I do a comic strip in the local newspapers, and these interesting typos are a frequent problem. My inspired jokes are often destroyed by this pencil donkey's inability to spell anything but his own name. I think the MTV presentation is far more likely to feature celebrities telling us that Xbox is "the bomb" and that they will be "pimpin' their ride" and "their crib" with an Xbox because it is the "shizzle, my nizzle". I don't think that MTV viewers, who are generally "rad" and "extreme" are going to give two hoots about how much RAM it has. Their main concern is how many Tony Hawk games they can play on it.
