January 2, 2008Fall ‘08 Xbox360 “Ultimate” Rumor, and Speculation…
Posted by The Ori
Well, here is the rumored ; so called “PS3-killer” [Xbox360 Ultimate - is due around autumn 2008] will benefit from almost three years of Xbox development (if that means ANYTHING to anyone); featuring 1080p HDMI output, built-in Wi-Fi (finally), hi-def audio output, lower powered processors (65nm architecture), and a near-silent fan?
It’s also said to have the ability to make the most of the “by-then” established Xbox IPTV service, which will mean recording TV shows to its large (large by comparison to what we have now) 320GB hard disk and watching live TV shows via your broadband provider.
But the real deal is; It’s said to have a built-in HD DVD drive.
I don’t know about you guys, but this is getting crazy. The original Xbox didn’t even see this many technological advances in it’s small lifespan; modders had to help with that. We already have Three (3) revisions (not counting Cosmetic) of the XB360, many dash ad-ons; and are only a few months past the two-year release date. The original Xbox seems like a N64 compared to the 360 right now. The XB1 remained basically the same the entire time, with only mainboard revisions to curtail modding (which didn’t work).
M$ has really found a niche in getting people to “re-up” every year for another Xbox360l gotta hand it to them, huh?
