Leaked Article: Xbox360 in Danish Game Reactor
>> Scans of the danish magazine 'Game Reactor' have been leaked on the internet exposing the Xbox360 (even more). It's once again a proof the earlier leaked images of the console, controller and logo and customizeable face plates were all real. It also confirms the silver/gold Xbox Live and full specs of the Xbox360 (incl. the 20gb HD, WiFi and the free silver Xbox Live account!) leaked 2days ago.
Few more details tell us the doublelayer-DVD (DVD9) player will have a 12x speed and it confirms the ourcolony mem. card image that the default memory card will be atleast 64MB. The machine will have a polygon-capacity of 500 million-a-second and a shading-capacity of 48 billion-shadings-a-second.
The article says the console should be released within the next 6 months in USA/CAN and in Europe only 7-10 days later. Japan will get the Xbox360 in December 2005. Microsoft will release the console with probably around 10-16 games ready and 40 titles within the first 6m onths. Halo 3 is confirmed aswell, should be released within 1year. The price of the Xbox360 won't be confirmed before October or November.
Other nice details (thx to the danish people in our forum for translating!):
* The Xbox360 will not run at full power when watching movie DVDs so the console will make less noise. (depending on what you are doing 2 fans will automatically be turned on or off)
* XboxLive will be completely integrated in the console.
* The controllers will have the rumble feature.
* You can transfer data from your iPod and digital camera and share your pictures with other Xbox Live members.
* It will have Media Center Extender functionality.
* The 'Xbox360 Logo button' (called 'Ring of light'), will allow you to switch between your game and Xbox Live. If you received an Xbox Live messages, the logo will light up. It will also indicate which port/channel-number your controller is using.
* You'll be able to use the Xbox360 for video-chatting with the webcam spotted in this picture. It will have a resolution of 1280.
* The controller is similar to the Xbox S-controller, just slightly smaller. The black and white buttons have been moved to the shoulders of the controller. You can charge the controller batteries by connecting the controller via USB-cable with your Xbox360. You can also use simple retail batteries (2x AA-batteries).
Also don't forget to watch the Xbox360 unveiling show tonight at 9:30pm on MTV for our US visitors and 12:30am on CTV for our Canadian visitors. European countries will get the show tomorrow (13th) on their local MTV channel (see TV schedule), but it'll probably be all over the internet before that.
