[KAGE360]

in the latest article at xbox365 there was something that got my attention:

QUOTE

Elsewhere in the piece Matsui-san also hinted that the Xbox 360 had some secret functions which were currently unknown at this time and would be revealed one year into market by a Live update

this was written in the Famitsu Xbox mag so it has to have some true meaning behind it.

Well 6 months into market is PS3 launch where Halo3 is suposed to make a debut. When people are over that and look at the PS3 price drops MS comes out with a heap of new features.... Go MS!

Thats one thing i admire about MS, they can beat Sony without going as low as bashing the other system(s).

Don't treat MS as they are completely innocent.  They have bashed Nintendo and Sony too and they also pulled off a lot of stunts that piss people off.  First of which was the Halo 2 incident.  Piracy is common place in the media/entertainment scene so games are likely to be released before it was going to be originally.  Halo 2 was no different and MS pulled a huge stunt to convince the entire world that piracy is bad and the piraters are just as bad and that they should do everything in their power to stop this from happening.

Also, it's every company that's bashing on each other, not just Sony.  In fact, the bashing comes even worse from Nintendo then it does from either Sony or MS.  They are so confident in their system that they made a weaker system, admit to it and then say with complete confidence that their controller will revolutionize videogames.

Well If I haven't lost my mind yet, I could've sworn piracy is bad.   I do understand it is unstoppable but that does not mean it is not bad.  It hurts developers and gamers alike.  Support the good developers and stay away from bad ones.

ah hell why don't we all just make  :popcorn:  and have an ice cold

i wouldn't call that bashing some much but i aint going to be buying their system if they put those crappy controllers with it. Unless there is a normal thirdy party one and they get some good developpers.

they are preparing for fios, iptv, and on demand games, movies, and music. I forsee a portable xbox media center which acts as a 360 hard drive, and which also has built in wifi abilities which allows you to remotely connect to your 360 at home, program it to record video, download music, games, or even play 360 or xbox games anywhere you can get an internet connection on your "x-pod"...

And where did you get this information  from? <_< Or is this pure speculation.  <_<

That "x-pod" would be delicious.  I remmber hearing that the 360 HD would be a removable iPod-like device, but that was 3 months ago and was disspelled.  You never know, it may be an add-on that works through the USB ports.  That would be awesome, but soooo expensive (like the Archos and Lyra media centers).

You are calling the Xbox 360 controllers crap? Or is it for the Playstation 3? I'm confused.

[Corspegrinder99]

M$ did something similar with XBL about 2 years ago with the 2.0 Live dash, maybe just a similar dash update with new features?
