A bit more informations translated by my friend manager :
*It will be released in europe 7 days after USA *December release in Japan *Its released in less than six months *Release games: Perfect Dark Zero, PGR3 and Kameo *10-16 game titles at the release. 40 games after half a year. *The Xbox Silver thingy is correct, it will be there, and free. *You will be able to transfer stuff from an ipod. *You will see TV thru your Xbox. *It can stand up and lie down. *When you watch DVD, some stuff in the console will automaticly shut down - so its more quiet. *You load the batteries on the controllers up via USB-cable on Xbox. You can also use simple batteries. *The round thingy on the controller = "The ring of light". Its actually a screen, which says if there are any updates on Xbox Live. Downl. content and such. It also says which controllers there are in your hands, which number. *Rallisport Challenge 3 will be on Xbox 360. *The Darkness from swedish Starbreeze (Riddick). *Peter Moore confirms Halo 3. |

Memo to Microsoft: The PS2 doesn't need the stand to be positioned vertically. I'd like some confirmation on the iPod connectivity. There was a very nice piece in Wired a few months ago about how iPods on Microsoft's campus were seriously grating on upper-level management, nevermind the digital media divisions that are trying to support devices that aren't iPods. Microsoft admitting defeat? Or does the article just imply "iPods and similar devices?" Last edited by xsarien : 05-12-2005 at 06:11 PM. |

I was referring to exclusive iPod support, which most likely isn't the case. But the mention of "iPod support" in the translation struck me as odd, because the whole point of Microsoft's digital media group is to supplant the device with Microsoft-DRM supporting players.

i will expect that if xbox 360 has any tivo like features it will be done like a media center via the PC. It will get its feed from a capture card on the computer. I hope it doesn't require a media center PC, though... that would be a massive surprise and selling point if it only required XP.
