      I wish any of the 3 companies would make a rack like box for their system

      I have all Sony stuff, which is all made to fit into a rack, yet the PS2 is too small for it.

      blah.

              If the XBOX Next does indeed meet its expected date, then yes, it's very possible.

              I'd be willing to bet that you'll still see XBOX versions of the game. Oh and it also depends on how early companies like SEGA and EA got the development kits. If it was before the time it was reported then we could possible see XBOX Next football games in 2005. If not, then we'll have to wait till 2006.

              Edit: I'm actually going to take back my guess for EA. EA's major sports year starts with MVP Baseball (don't let the year fool you) so I doubt EA would jump to XBOX Next for their football titles if their baseball title isn't on it yet.

                  Current X-Box doesnt look bad, a bit heavy but solid and sturdy plus a built in HD and Online connection.

                  PS II looks like it needs to be in my trunk amping some alpine system.


                  I like the Next Box look, I doubt it will be kept though, (all new concept designs never get kept the same).

                  Of course everyone is going to buy the HD version, (and I will get the PC like one when it comes out later).

                      I guess it depends on who you ask. IMO, I'd say no. I just don't see development companies making 2 versions of the game (Xbox version and Xbox Next version). Who knows though?

                      I'm sure we'll find out more info in the upcoming months.

                          I still don't get why people keep complaining about the weight and the look of the xbox. Why do you need a system that looks good when the games look great? The genesis and the super nintendo didn't look good at all but they still got sold.

                          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                              Has anyone considered this:

                              With 3 versions of the Xbox, programmers would have to most likely develop games for 3 different Xbox systems or for 1 single Xbox. Xbox Next and Xbox Next HD will be the most similar in terms of hardware, but the Xbox PC will probably have to be quite a bit different.

                              To add to that, the current Xbox HD is used to speed loading times and load levels so that the Xbox doesn't have to pull data from the DVD all the time. Now with an Xbox with a HD and one without, developers are either going to have to develop games differently for each Xbox type or they'll develop for the lowest level Xbox (Xbox Next) and just port the game to the Xbox HD - which leaves the HD as a large memory card. The HD would be useless in terms of load levels and loading times.

                              Just something I was thinking about it. I'm not sure I really like the idea of having 3 Xbox's if this would hold true.
