i was just searching for ad aware removal when this link took me to this site, thought you all might be interested, don't know if it is actually true though.

NEWS ON XBOX 2

Reports seem to indicate that the Xbox 2 should be with us late this year. A leaked press release from industry Dahlings and Electronic Arts seems to indicate this. Apparently, the launch should coincide with the release of the next versions of "Burnout" and "Need For Speed". But what to expect from the new gaming console?

Does it have a hard drive? Not clear. Microsoft may opt for flash memory instead, rather than the traditional hard drive found in the current Xbox, but this has yet to be confirmed.

How much will it cost? Xbox 2 is expected to break beyond the traditional launch price for new consoles, which has stood at $299. It could be as high as $350-$400.

What cool features could we expect? Wireless functionality and improved high definition outputs, downloadable content (and other broadband-centric features.)

Some questions, however, still remain unanswered:

The big questions, at present, revolve around whether Xbox 2 will be backwards compatible (in other words, will it be able to play current Xbox games?)




hmmmmm.... what you think?

they'd better have given Ubisoft the info too, since that company is the saviour of Xbox Live.
