    Re: If they offered you a free next-gen console right now...

    proof that the XBox might (key word) have the cell in it's system. 1.http://www.thenextbox.com/forum/view...67460d05969bed

    2.http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12523

    My only problem with the Xbox 2 (which should be called X2 pronounced EX 2) is that it is SPECULATED (net yet official) to be released too early, and that they haven't chose a software medium yet (i perfer the Blu-ray disk it sounds good).

    Truth be told: Right now the PS3 does sound better, but I don't think Microsoft will sit there and release a bum machine after a great one in Xbox. Xbox 2 and PS3 will be equal if not i think Microsoft will find a way to make it better than the PS3. This is the biggest statement in my life, I know the cell will change the game thats why i thnk Microsoft is trying hard on the low to get ahold of it.

      Well thanks for the links but that rumor is very old and has been proved to be VERY FALSE. IBM chips will be in all three major consoles but the CELL is Sony tech thus it will only be in PS3. Xbox2/Revolution will have IBM Power PC chips.

      Also I would like to point out that Xbox 2 specs are now final. Bill Gates will make the announcement at CES in January and let everyone know of this.


      The Xbox 2's GPU is FINISHED,so expect no further alteration to it. The PS3's GPU have ways to go. Note:

      NVIDIA PlayStation 3 GPU to be completed by end of 2005


      When the GPU is completed, thats when the specs would be finalized. The only thing thats been finalized,is the proposed target(50x of the GS). Don't be suprised if Sony cut back or increase thier target based on what thier competitions have, and there alot between now and then for them to do that.


      Really tho next gen is going to be GREAT no matter which system you go with. My point is that no one knows what system will be powerful enough because they can't imagine what new, revolutionary games will come out, and what capabilities the systems will need in order to run them well. If either Sony or Microsoft makes considerably better technology (as seen this gen. between Xbox and PS2), then they will have an advantage that gamers will benefit from. Xbox2 and PS3 will still only be around for 5 years, and then we'll want PS4 and Xbox3. the fact is that we can never get enough of technology.


      I'm getting both systems but I'm more excited about PS3 at this point.

          I would have to go with Xbox 2, despite my excitement for PS3.

              Agreed this next gen will be great. Although i really want the xbox to be suceessful, the PS3 sounds off the meat rack (great). I might make the switch to sony, i'll see come may 05 (E3).

                  I say get both Xbox 2 and PS3 bro

                  Where do you stand with Nintendo's system? I personally have lost all interest in Nintendo, they just don't appeal to me anymore.

                          Xbox 2, but if ps3 has a hard drive and xbox2 doesnt, then i'd take the ps3.

                              As far as Nintendo goes, I really think they should hang it up and let Bill Gates (who showed lots of interest) buy them. There DS is inferior to the PSP and their next gen console will be outdone by both Microsoft and Sony. I love there Zelda games though.
