I don't think that it will be all that expensive. Remember that X-Box 1 is selling for less than it costs to build it. Consols make thier money off the games.

The original Xbox cost $400 too, they just sold it at the same price as the PS2.Originally posted by Jaguar
If it's $400 and the PS3 is less than that, I think the public won't touch it.
MS knows it'd be suicide to sell it above the PS3's pricerange. Ditto for the Xbox/PS2. Whenever the PS2 dropped in price, the Xbox did as well.
Hell, right now the Xbox costs less than the PS2, but costs way more to produce."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I won't buy it HOWEVER good it is, unless it comes with a mouse and a keyboard, and I can buy stuff to stick inside it to make it better.
i.e. a REAL computer, instead of a gimped box for kids who can't handle "complicated man's stuff" like installing a programme from CD.

Consoles are not PCs, and they don't pretend to be.
I'm happy for you that you won't buy a console until it becomes a PC, but unfortunately for you, the vast majority of gamers these days are actually console gamers.
So nice troll attempt, but all it does is show that you don't understand anything about why consoles exist. You remind me of the 12-year-old fanboys on the IGN forums who keep blasting the Xbox because "it's just a PC, it sux0rs"."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

i'm not sure i believe this. how could they possibility afford this? i know microsoft is sitting on billions but i thought they are making the xbox to make money. wouldn't these units cost $500+ to make(let alone sell)? that system also seems lopsided with way too much cpu power but not enough ram/graphics muscle(unless i'm not understanding it correctly).Eschewing obfuscation and transcending conformity since 1982.

I don't think it'd cost too much to make. When you buy parts in the millions, you get a price discount. The time this will go into production is mid-to-late 2005, and the chips will be made on the new 65nm process which makes the chips smaller and cheaper, and integrating 3 CPUs into one die will also reduce cost."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Sorry Asher, but it is a bit difficult to deny the fact that console gamers are more likely to pick up Doom or Unreal Tournament than they are Deus Ex (1, not that fakeDeusEx that presends to be the second one) or SMACXOriginally posted by Asher

Deus Ex and SMACX are both crap, sadly.
(Deus Ex 1 & 2 both sold more on various consoles than on PC
)

What don't you like about them?
The fact that you can't just shoot at everything you see? The fact that they don't have ubergreat graphics?
I have a hard time believing Deus Ex 1 sold more on Playstation than on PC. I hear the port was not great at all.(Deus Ex 1 & 2 both sold more on various consoles than on PC)
But I can *easily* believe Deus Ex 2 sold more on consoles. Considering it was made for XBOX and ported to PC

The game ran like crap on my then-state-of-the-art P3 600 w/ TNT2 Ultra 32MB.
Was too annoying to play."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

what is edram?
is that a regular dvd drive or hd-dvd drive or what?
Looking at those specs, I can't imagine myself owning a more powerful pc than that in 3 years, let alone a console with that much firepower.Comment
