Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by John Anderton on 01-20-2005 at 02:09 PM

I heard that both microsoft and sony r planning to release the new versions of their consoles. So i tried to find their pics and features. This is some of what i found.
Sony - Play Station 3 (P.S 3):- Well i found this pic. It looks more like an aeroplane than anything else. Is this it or is there anything better.

It sayz here that this is ps3 starfigher
* John Anderton doesn't remember hearing this name ^o)
Here is another one and this one is a bit more realistic.

Here is their logo. I saw this on gamer tv so i am sure its the correct one.

They were saying that sony's not saying how it exactly looks so its looks r still speculative.
* John Anderton remembers he hasn't seen even the first 2 playstations
* John Anderton hopes his bro sends him a ps 2 (ps 3 if its released) for his upcomming b'day in 7196 days, 21 hours, 41 minutes, 58 seconds ago

This is another one which they were showing on tv as one of the possibilities.

(I'm not sure if u can see that image as when i clicked to see the full pic it said that it does not exist so i have linkedgoogle saerch pic. If u want go to google's image search and type this exactly as is without the quotes to see what pic i was talkin 'bout. Type "X Box" Or click here

Microsoft - X-Box 2:- Well i heard they r thinkin of releasing it before sony to get a head start and capture the market  or something of that sort.
I heard on a tv show called 'gamer tv' microsoft r going to release 2 types f xboxes. One with higher resolution and obviously higher price. This show is really reliable and in so many years it has not given any wrong info so i trust that this news is true.
This is the pic of xbox 2 i saw on tv.
[Image: x-box%25202.jpg]

Well if u guyz know anything else about these 2 then plz state them below.

Which one's better:- I dunno wanna start a war and plz dont. Just post in the poll and just state (Plz Dont Fight) why each ones good cause i wanna buy one. I think xbox has got better games and graphics but playstation's have all the ea games and more no. of games that i'd like to play. Also one huge factor is, X-Box has Halo.
So i'm confused which one to get. Whats the price difference cause i'm not gonna buy it from here but my bro is abroad and he'll bring it here when he comes :D
One last thing. Dont start a war cause in the end the question remains unanswered or satisfactorily answered.

I think all 3 PS3 images are 100% fake... and I don't see any difference between that image of 'xbox 2' and the current Xbox.. :rolleyes:

I was thinking exactly the same thing.. The xbox 2 will definitely look a lot differant than 1st one. And as for the PS3.. it will be dominated by the Xbox 2 as was the PS2.
These pics are concept images, but the 1st one looks nice though :D

They're all purely concept, but you should but a xenon (xbox 2) ... its got better specs :p...


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by Ash_ on 01-20-2005 at 03:43 PM

if that Futuristic playstion is gonna be the next playstation im not gonna buy it, it looks really shit in my opinion.

plus i could just get an emulator and buy the games :P _b


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by .blade// on 01-20-2005 at 04:04 PM

Let me just state, ALL of those images you posted are 100% fake, that is a known fact.

The next gen consoles will be unveiled at this year's E3, and btw - those XBOX images have been around since before XBOX 1.


This one, though, did cause quite a stir a while back (yes, this one IS fake):

get xBox purely because you can get Emulators to play loads of different console games for them :D:D:D:D:D:D


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by user27089 on 01-20-2005 at 04:44 PM

:lol: that xbox is hilarious :lol: its just the xbox with a sticker on... lmfao..


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by lopardo on 01-20-2005 at 06:39 PM

I prefer having a really good PC with a nice graphic card...

Last console I had was a Sega Genesis 32 bits... :lol:

Poll: X-Box 2 Or Ps 3; Which should i buy ??
It makes no sense to already decide which console to buy at this time. On what do you base your decision?

Not much is know about both consoles yet. About 80% of the news your hear about them are rumors, probally 70% of those will turn out not to be true in the end. The photo's you see on the net are all fake.  Some of them may be concept art (highly doubtfull though), but even then that doesn't mean it will look like that at the end.

I never care about "which console is better" and don't even care a lot about how the console looks. I recommend you to wait until both consoles are out and then play on both (not just once) before you buy anything. Also look which games are comming out for which console. In the end eveything that really counts is gemplay and fun... not how the console look or if the CPU is a bit faster then the other console.
RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by user27089 on 01-20-2005 at 07:10 PM

But come on, surely you can buy consoles for the specific games that aren't on the pc, there are many great games that you can't purchase for your computer, and without a great console (xbox :p) you can't buy them/play them can you?! I would have both :p...

John Anderton:

They're all concepts, and the probability is, that they won't look anything like any of these at all :p... Although I'm sure that the design will be more modern that the previous models of those consoles...

I trully can't believe that you have never seen a psx, psone or a ps2 (psx and psone are the same, just different models)... If you have never seen one of google or anything then thats just insane, I really can't believe you!!!

I think that they are actually releasing it before we all think, but thats what I just heard, I don't know whether its true or not though. With the current specifications of the xbox 2, it will pwn the ps3 straight away, the specs are almost twice that of the ps3 :p... I'm sure that they'll have no trouble at all on selling the xenon... I heard that they are releasing two aswell... its the specifications that they're having, they're having the 'pimped out' and the 'not-so pimped-out' :p... By the way, that 'xbox 2' picture you have is a xbox:p...

Abz, nice concepts, where did you get them from? I like the one on the right, its much nicer :p... the other one looks like someone has got a chainsaw and hacked parts of the xbox away then spraypainted it silver...

I can't see why it makes no sence to decide, I base my desicion in information that I have read from magazines, microsoft and sony have released the specifications to certain companies, I read it in 'Focus'...

Its true that not much is known about the rumours. A lot of it is definitely rumours... hardly anything will be true... everything you're saying I agree with pretty much...

Why don't you care about 'what console is better'... I like to have a nice looking console... I like to have a console with nice specs, and especially a console with a hardrive, this is where the xenon comes in ;)... Why would you wait and play on either one, if people just did that, then it would be ludacris, take your pick, and buy it, the one with the better specs will generally be better in the long run, think about it... this is why the games for the consoles have began to decline, they simply can't handle such graphics and stuff... so they've had to tone-down all of the stuff that was good... if you have a console with better specs, then games with better graphics will be coming out for a while, and the graphics will keep getting better... I'm sure that most games will come out on both, so it won't really matter in the end about the games, its all down to the sheer power of such machines... :p

owh sorry..  I did read in a magazine it would be called  "revolution"  or something like that :P  but i guess I'm behind :)


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by John Anderton on 01-21-2005 at 06:21 AM

Ok i want to know on the basis of whatever u fell which is better to buy. You can get an idea according to the current versions rite. I dunno cause i've never used em so i'd like to know. Also i said that those were speculative images didnt i ?? If not i think i 4got. But i think the symbol for ps 3 is correct.

Actually, I'm basing it off the future that I want a Xenon (until the hard copies of what the consoles will be is released). The Xenon is supposed to have 2 G5-like processors, a HDD again, and something like TeVo built right in.  Plus, of course, I want Halo 3 :refuck: :P.
RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by Eljay on 01-21-2005 at 02:25 PM

i heard that Xenon wont have backwards compatibility tho

not that i care coz i will be getting a PS3:P


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by FrozernFire on 01-21-2005 at 02:29 PM

xenon will still have the xbox live, get that :grin:


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by John Anderton on 01-21-2005 at 06:46 PM

Is that its new name :S


RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by .blade// on 01-21-2005 at 06:47 PM

Yes. Unlike Sony, Microsoft is thinking of original names for their consoles :P

I think that sony is sticking with ps cause its like ppl r familiar with the brand name.
Btw xenon's a coon name imo. So is it called only xenon or xenon box or what ???
RE: Is this how the future of console gamming looks like ?? by .blade// on 01-21-2005 at 07:28 PM

Firstly, the Xbox 2 (aka Xenon)'s design will not be unveiled until this year's E3. Secondly, that's a pic. of the first Xbox :|
(All 3 of the next gen. consoles will be unveiled at this year's E3.)

John, I doubt there is a possibility of going for any of us, other than Patchou of course... and anyone else who has a lot of money and booked like a year in advance, its held in california afaik... and its the biggest gaming event... its held every year and holds some of the greatest stalls and events there...

I don't see why that purple playstation 3 isn't possible, its quite aesthetically pleasing in my opinion... its easy on the eyes, and I like the disk tray thing...

I agree that microsoft are making a smart move, it has a better name doesn't it?

People are very familiar with the xbox aswell, so its not really any difference, I think that the name playstation is getting old, it sounds like some dodgy porno or something... I don't know...
