Its the wireless control thing that gets me, there must be a reason why wireless control pads are not standard anyway...They've had the technology for a while.

It's beauty lies on the inside. Here's a shot of project Gothem racing 3 to illustrate this point

Re: Leaked X-Box 360 image? (or photoshoparama?)

I'm looking forward to seeing the E3 presentation for more info on the games themselves. The stuff so far has really all been about the hardware. From the list of titles I've heard of so far, i'm not so sure what the killer app for this system is going to be. It might be PGR3 but there's no franchise with the clout of Halo due to be available at launch it seems.

Water cooling just makes the mind boggle, i hope they go the full 9 and have actual visible cooling pipes which change colour.

I think that screenshot isn't actually a game. I think it's meant to illustrate hot good the graphics could be. The car is CG but the rest of the scene is a photograph I think.

If it's all CG then fuckin' hell...


Oh, guys, check out the gameplay videos for the 360 game, Convicted (it's called something like that). The lighting effects are amazing.

Re: Leaked X-Box 360 image? (or photoshoparama?)

I though that screenshot was a photo :P looks amazing.

I dunno how they are gonna work the xbox live thing though. I mean what happens to ppl who have paid their years subscription to it and want to keep playing on the original xbox?

Will the servers for xbox 360 support the original xbox live gaming?

I doubt I'll buy the new xbox right away, not paying 300 for it, i'll wait until its a bit cheaper.

The pic looks to me like it is CG, but it wont be a gameplay shot.

Re: Leaked X-Box 360 image? (or photoshoparama?)

why would the power button be so huge?

and if all games come with interchangable hard drives and usb memory card compatibility, why the hell are there 2 memory card ports on the front?
