oooh, i like Rambus. Its real fast. Like many others, I hate the cam. It better be an aftermarket add on because it wont be worth the price hike. It probably will be. Anything M$ can do to make you spend more money on something you shouldnt have to. Crooks. What are the price speculations on this bad boy when its released?
I am willing to pay $300 for it. Not a penny more unless they make the dashboard open source and provide software so we can back up our games. Haha. Im guessing it will be $399.
Any idea when it will hit the streets?
Hopefully the modding scene has given Mr. Gates an idea as to what direction the consumers want console gaming to go. I think we will be pleased with new box overall. If the've listened to us at all, we can expect stuff like streaming audio/video, lots of internet capabilities, skinning and customizing, maybe news feeds, instant messaging and new communication possibilities. I think it will be very appealing to the eyes, transparent and bright.
Im thinking it probably wont be very modable. What does everyone else think? I dont think they are going to let us have too much fun with it. But...they can only keep it unmodable to a certain point. After that, the system loses functionality and people wont want to buy it any way. Heads up everyone. The next generation of console gaming is at hand...and it looks nice.
