When will Xbox 2 arrive, latest estimates are BEFORE PS3. A wise move?
It'll be xbox Live backwards compatable surely, as xbox live is a 20 year dream according to allard. Good stuff.
Wha do you want it to have? Games consoles will be turing more and more into all in one entertainment centres so spit it out.
Just a brainstorm of what Xbox 2 should be all about.

Yes, Sony also said PS2 could be used by the military it was so powerful.

I dunno, Nintendo and Sony seem to do fine with the updates. ;-) Just a case of continuing the games which people enjoy.

Sounds good, although the PS3's Cell is meant to be 250 Giga Hertz - almost 100 times as powerful than current 2700Mhz Intel chips.
IBM have develloped new semiconductor technology or something to make this possible...
I'm sure that Intel will be trying to beat this rather than use current "out-dated" technology.

Bah. I cannot be bothered to explain the difference between pro logic and 5.1, ask garbe or some1 else with a system.

No they graphics would be crisp, smooth, and slightly more realistic. Sound would be changed, trust me ask people with 5.1 systems, its a different gamin expericance.
