XBOX 360
 

I had an interesting chat with my buddy Frank. I actually got some news on the Xbox 360. Here is the chat listed below. I had to edit it to protect his source.

Frank: xbox week after holloween

Frank: yea

Frank: it might be easier to hack seein as how the HD is removeable now :thumbsup:

My good buddy is best friends with a guy who knows a person who works for....

Even though the description sounds alot like the X360 picture in another thread, accounts from friends like that I always find hard to believe.

I agree. I will believe it when i see it. hopefully more news will come out after the E3 conference. There is an article on IGN's site that states basically the same thing I mentioned up here.

Halo 2.5 on it? Since it's an R-Rated game I doubt that very much.

Heh youre mixing up your lingo (M Rated) a little bit but Im not so sure about it having Halo 2.5 either...

Ill be happy if thats all true and just as happy if its not. We'll just have to see when it comes out.

haha this made me think of;

ahh comedy..sorry to go off topic :p

I dislike silly word of mouth 3 levels deep :(

You never really know what's real. That'd be cool if your friend has the real info, but really all that matters to me is that I hope the new XBOX is a lot better than the old one. Have they made a statement on making controllers that do not suck? :)

Heh, my friend made a comic a few years ago when the X-Box came out. The comic is long gone, but I remember the lines:

Eric: We've replaced Jamie's X-Box controller with a 300 lb bear. Let's see if he notices the difference.
Jamie: Wow! This new X-Box controller sure is easy to handle!

It's R rated where Mr Deflok lives.

Damn... just me being ignorant then, sorry! :)
