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: my boy jus told me
ME: Huh
ME: The new 1?
Frank: yea
Frank: i saw pics
Frank: from my boy that work at (undisclosed gaming company)
ME: Ok
ME: Is it that gray joint I showed you
Frank: yup
Frank: yea its grey and lime green
ME: Aah I see
Frank: with a slide in HD
Frank: $299.00 w/o $399.00 with the slide on HD
ME: So its Chrome and green
Frank: nah it wasnt chrome
Frank: real light grey
Frank: and its small
Frank: stands verticla also
ME: So its like a PC hd
ME: Where u can turn it on the side
ME: W/o the HD will u be have to get a memory card?

Frank: especially the HD games
Frank: all xbox exclusives wiill be HD
Frank: not all games like they said b4
Frank: but mos def the xclusives will be
ME: Since the leading format will not be the xbox fav

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.

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?

Wingless · 05-02-2005, 08:08 PM

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.
