Can't wait for ces :) Hopefully will get some good new info. when is xbox 2 coming out anyway? Fall 05?

[Inane_Dork]

As with any hyped thing, prepare all ye ravenous followers for disappointment.

Well, it should outshine the Phantom, anyway. :P

I'm not expecting anything except it getting mentioned. the big Xbox2 events will probably be GDC, spring TGS, perhaps a special Xbox2 event of its own sometime in March, and then E3.

What is it with Sega fans? They feel the DC was wronged by Sony so now Microsoft is their new standard-bearer?

The thing is, Sega had a collaboration with Microsoft on the DC didn't they? Developers could code to the metal using Sega's APIs or use Windows CE, as was done for Sega Rally for instance (but as I recall, most people thought the Win CE games performed worse).

As with many Microsoft partnerships, MS later goes into the same business, in effect becoming a competitor (except here, Sega went out of the hardware business).

These game company allegiances are trippy.

Xbox 2 or Xbox Next? That's the question! 8)

If they call it Xbox 2, they're boring.
If they call it Xbox Next, they're suicidal.

10 days to go until we hear something about Xbox 2 that we've already heard.

dont expect much if anything. :/

[thop]

I believe it will be Xbox² or ZBox.

[Inane_Dork]

dont expect much if anything. :/They might learn from the Steve Jobs School of Brand Emphasis: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Mac is rendering this... in REAL... TIME! ;)

9 day to go!

[Sonic]

I thoguht the machien wasn't going to be unveiled until the second day of CES?

[ChryZ]

This bumping/counting of an otherwise information-free thread is kinda annoying. How about a thread, when details ARE available ... everything else is just the most emptiest hype ever :x

[Sonic]

Good idea.
