XBOX 360... Is it gonna be just hype or a monster system? - GoFuckYourself.com

Greg B · 05-14-2005, 05:55 PM

I don't own an Xbox because of a protest. It's because they made a favorite game of mine exclusive only to XBox after we faithful fans dragged along for years.

Now the Xbox 360 made it's debut and will be for sale around Christmas. It boasts alot of features like 3 processors of I believe 3.3 ghz.

That's probably more processing power than was ever used by all four branches of the military and NASA combined prior to 1995.

anyone have that mtv preview on bittorrent?

Greg B · 05-14-2005, 06:07 PM

I heard it premiered on MTV but unless you see it on HDTV it's useless.

Now that HDTV is more accessible I'm amazed at what you see you didn't see before. I saw some classic sci-fi flicks that I thought were cool as a kid but now I see wires and strings all over the place.

Also, women might want to try some new makeup cause HDTV shows EVERY flaw and fuck up.

3 processors of 3.3ghz? are you sure?

iwantchixx · 05-14-2005, 06:26 PM

it's 3 3.2ghz processor cores in one chip capable of one teraflop per second.

xclusive · 05-14-2005, 06:48 PM

wow this thing is going to be a beast

Skripter · 05-14-2005, 06:56 PM

It has three symmetrical cores clocked at 3.2 GHz each. With two hardware threads to each core. As far as the teraflop, not quite, but close. It does 9 billion dot product operations per second. But its overall system floating point is indeed 1 teraflop.

Interesting first post.

That must have been what I read then, the overall system floating poin operations.

bluedevil · 05-14-2005, 07:30 PM

its GOT to be an awesome system... we'll see though... alot of the previews are misleading if you ask me

TDF · 05-14-2005, 07:31 PM

the mtv special was garbage..the our colony video is much much better

H.I.G · 05-14-2005, 07:37 PM

i def gettin one

Steen2 · 05-14-2005, 07:41 PM

It will be a huge cost to MS but hopefully there won't be mod chips etc and they can make it all back on software, licensing, etc.

wedouglas · 05-14-2005, 08:15 PM

so far im not impressed with what ive seen other than the Ghost Recon Video. Graphics and processors power cant make up for lack of experience and gameplay

Dude, Halo alone will be worth the price of admission. Nevermind all the other great titles they'll be launching.

SiMpLe · 05-14-2005, 10:11 PM

This preview is good, really shows it off.

HeadPimp · 05-14-2005, 10:19 PM

Good lord... Sounds like the only thing it doesn't do is give head and make coffee.

EviLGuY · 05-14-2005, 10:23 PM

Yeah it should be a nice machine.. about time consoles surpass desktop machines for gaming.

I will definitely be getting one anyways...

Vitasoy · 05-14-2005, 10:25 PM

The new playstation will be better.

gecko · 05-14-2005, 10:50 PM

No doubt it's over hyped

yep, that video had lots of great info

Greg B · 05-15-2005, 12:39 AM

Microsoft bragged about Xbox before and had to recall em' if I recall because they overheated or something.

That much power has to do something practical for me than just make zombies look extra ghoulish.

I've become used to games for the PC. You can mod them out and the gaming NEVER ends. Platform systems are just that. Dead in the water after you max the game.

I just got "Revenge of the Sith" and it's neat in alot of ways but when it comes to the PC the shit is on! We're gonna mod the fuck out of that game.

Platform games are too limited.

I have to admit that Half Life 2 has environment graphics that are un-fucking-believable. Scary as fuck and twice so. Halo didn't do anything for me. It was just drive and shoot and throw shit and listen to people say cool military shit.

I'm wondering what Xbox 360 will eventually be able to do. Should we buy it for gaming or cannibalize the fucker to make a kick ass laptop or desk top?

One of these days somebody will advance battery technology so that we can take shit with us and play until we drop.

Manowar · 05-15-2005, 01:14 AM

i think it will be fuckin awesome

Homer · 05-15-2005, 01:19 AM

it will be a cool system
