key features:

Microsoft is requiring developers to make all Xenon titles Live enabled.
Developers are being instructed to plan their games for high-definition. The baseline is 720p at 1280x720 for gameplay and video clips, 16:9 aspect ratio, 5.1 Surround Sound, and anti-aliasing. These features are the current minimum requirement.

Still using that crap-ass design of a controller I see.

I will buy it when they make a "original" controller for the new xbox. I cant stand that tiny ass controller "s" that they are modeling the new ones after. Actually the reason I probably wont buy it very soon is because im broke...but well thats another story . :o

It looks kinda shitty, i mean all white. In the forums, the talk is the ability to skin your xbox, but **** that..if i have to go out and buy a black skin for 15 bucks..Im gonna be pissed

from what i've heard, that is a working system sofar, not the "final" selection.

hopefully it will ship with 3 colors, white, black, grey. make it fit in with most home theatre systems.

must just be me, but the last game console i bought was a Nintendo 64. ever since i discovered computers and online gaming, i've not even once considered another console.

on a related note, i had the first game console ever made. i forget the exact name of it, but i think it was called Blip. ah the good ole days of smacking around a black & white, square shaped ball all over the TV screen......

haha old timer :p jk, eh i have always had consoles since i was like 5, and i bought a ps2 when i couldn't afford to build a pc because i needed some form of modern gaming, not to mention the dvd player was a nice bonus, and than i got an xbox because i became a halo fan boy and helped set up many xbox lan party's of halo, though i must admit since I've moved all I really play are my pc games if i even have time to play all of those, but some of the online titles for xbox and ps2 are great games, such as the resident evil outbreak series, incredible focus on teamwork in those not to mention fun and scary as heck, plus with console gaming its easier to get some of your less patient friends to game with you.
