I want one!
Posted by Ray @ 7:56 pmThe XBox 360 was just unveiled on MTV. Kotaku has a write up and pictures, but after they mentioned the feature list I kind of stopped reading.
Native HDTV support! (Yes, games in High-Def)
Wireless network support! (You can play movies/music off your computer’s shared folders)
3 PowerPC cores running at 3.2GHz! (Mac users may put on smug expressions of superiority. Okay, okay, so it’s only 1 CPU, but still.)
Couple that with XBox Live (the only console multiplayer environment to actually get it right) and you have, in your hands, the Ultimate Gaming Machine. I don’t own an XBox, but if they make the XBox 360 backwards-compatible, I know what my next purchase is going to be.
Ah, competition. Now we wait for E3, and see what Sony has in store for the PlayStation 3.
(Purely off-topic: speaking of Macs, I’ve just installed Mac OS X Tiger on my iBook. Let’s see what this baby can do.)
