REV0LUTI0NIZED Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 Its the Xbox 360 with HDMI ports! Hopefully all of this is true, can't wait for it to come out!

Some might be angry, but not everybody. I think we should give Microsoft props for doing this. They planned this well, now that TV's are coming out with HDMI 1.3.

My guess is that they will refund or some how compensate the original hardware owners. Otherwise I would expect some type of class action lawsuit.

Shug7272 Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 There is a video on youtube of this console booting up and playing using the HDMI. Also there is a new chip that is inside that replaces the ANA chip called HANA. If the article I read was right the current 360 can only output analog and will never be able to have a HDMI upgrade due to the need for the new HANA chip. MS just shit on alot of people. That being said if they would make online free I would buy one of the new models. Oh the article had pics of the new chips as well, let me see if I can find it. www.x-scene.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea times about 5 years. $250 bucks without ANY downloads or microtransactions. Besides with Blu Ray kicking HD DVDs ass PS3 is the best bet for me. Not everyone, but me.

Shug7272 Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 Quote Cool, people have their own preffences. Yup, but like I said I'm no console hater. I would buy the 360 if on line went free and probably will anyway after a price drop or two. I will definitely get the Wii for my daughter and wife (me too) it looks fun as hell but I ain't paying 250 for it. Well unless the wife tells me I am. Too bad everywhere cant be like TestMy (the best place on earth) anywhere else you would have called my mother a whore by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get the PS3 when it's available, mostly for it's Blu-Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of people seem to be buying it only for Blu Ray. Its still win win for Sony I guess. 499 for Blu Ray is great right now and hey if a game comes out you like your set there to. No Wii for you?

Yup, but for right it's only useful for one thing and that's watching Blu-Ray movies on it. Since it has no good games out for it yet, thats what i meant. The Xbox 360 is coming out with another cool thing that I like and that is... IPTV. http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/06/xbox-360-getting-iptv/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 You know I have heard alot of buzz about this and have yet to even read what it is. I guess if I had one I would read it. I have read that the 360 HD media download is doing EXCELLENT as of late. Oh and for the games I agree. I will rent Resistance and then wait for Motorstorm and another one I am looking forward to but cant remember what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had a chance to try that out, so i don't know if its good. Resistance looks like a good game but I would also rent it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, hopefully the 120GB HD comes out it would help a lot. I would store a couple of extremely favorite movies their and some TV shows.

Shug7272 Posted January 7, 2007 CID Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think the 120 is coming soon, if for no other reason than Sony having 60. I just cant wait to see the price, will they take a loss and sell em or make profit and probably have few takers. I guess they could make profit and get alot of takers but I doubt it. But I bet we will find out by next Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
