I think it will probably be similar to X-Box 1 because X-Box 1 already looks great. It will most probably have a larger Hard Disk space and the X-box might of been smaller than X-box 1. Well what do you think?

it'll have to be half a metre bigger just to fit the extra 2 by the jewel.
enough slaggin off , i reckon it will have some kind of asdl cable in it that you have to unwind and is 4 miles long , then you have to fit it your self (to a telegraph pole) just so you can go online.

DVD, it wont use these anymore it will use those new blue discs that are on the gameaday homepage , that can hold up to 50 gb !

Hard drive , you will have to buy this as one of those discs , as that way it will hopefully bring the price down.

Screen , it will have a 50 foot fold out screen that comes out the xbox hydrolically. why 50 foot ? because the xbox 2 will be 60 foot (for all those extra fans and stuff to fit inside)

Graphics , it will claim to be the most powerfull and have the best graphics , when basically it wont.

Control , will be the size of the original control , but with less curves and some kind of massage thing inside so that your hands wont cramp up after an hour of playing.

Games , it will have alot of support from xbox developers , but not many new developers coming onboard , why ? read on and find out ...



COST - the thing we all dread .... i expect the total hook up for an xbox will be :

Console £250

Games £40

Blue disc thing for hard drive which you need to run the games and the dvd's - £80

Petrol and time taken to conect the asdl line 7 days 46 minutes and 12 seconds , while petrol wise it will cost £100 as you need to take the xbox with you which you will need to hire a 70 foot truck to fit and carry it with , not mentioning that it weighs 2.7 tonnes , and petrol will be used up rapidly.

and finally a mansion with big enough rooms to hold it - £2 million (10 million if you live in london)

or you can buy the gazibo for £60 to house it in so it dosent get wet (as it has to live outside)


so total cost :

with mansion - £2 million 470
without mansion , with gazibo - £530

thats with only one game !

if what i see is correct then the futures could be a bad time for all of us , unless the lottery starts giving away £100 million a day , and you only need one number to win it ,then we'll all be fine ! ;-)

if there is an XBOX 2 (god hoping there isn't) then it will be twice as big, twice as ugly and twice as S*** as its previous incarnation.

Well if the X box 1 is a bag of bricks, X box 2 must be 2 bags of bricks... That crashes twice as much.

:D
