xbox 360 specs (unofficial, but believable)
- Thread starter McFly
- Start date
Before the poster got his thread deleted, he posted something else saying Silver members could play *any* weekend, but not during the weekdays. He also mentioned something about the way players would be matched with one another, but I don't remember and I didn't copy and paste his secondary post.

And you know this because?
The thread was deleted by the thread author because Krevco was being a major jerk. It has nothing to do with the staff.xbdestroya said:I was following this thing this morning also - the actual thread on TeamXBox has been deleted. Now, frankly I feel like that almost ups the credibility, since Cesar of TeamXBox is under NDA and has access to additional info not privy the regular press.
I guess we'll either know soon enough... or we won't.
He he. You can get billed in micro transactions whenever on Silver, but don't get to play any games!
I think Silver is online content and part-time, limited edition gaming. Not every game will be available over the weekend to Silver subscribers. Mostly it's for updating games and buying content and not for online gaming though. If you want to play other people, you really want the Gold option.
'Free XBox Live! Weekends' could be some weekends, or all weekends.

Well, more info. Firstly a concurrent thread has begun on TeamXBox that has been allowed to stay, seems there's been some confusion among editors and mods, I don't know. The sense there is that some guy named 'BlimBlim' confirmed stuff and he's a 'real' insider who has garnered some trust in the past.
Now, I don't know about people who claim to be insiders, but then again, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt when said 'insiders' also enjoy the popular backign of people who have scrutinized their posts in the past.
So take it for what it's worth, but in my mind the liklihood of these specs being accurate just went from 49% believable to 51% believable.
Of course, the usual salt containers should be kept on hand.
EDIT: Gotcha Inane - thanks for the clear-up. Yeah, that Krevco guy can be an idiot sometimes.

It will turn on many new people to online gaming that are unsure about it. Once they take the plunge on a weeked and get a taste of Perfect Dark, Project Gotham, Ghost Recon, or Rainbow 6 online they'll be hooked. Well not everyone, but many will.

Would they mention the FPU in the released specs, or just take it as given?
Also, version, can you walk us through the Cell 40bn dot product calculation? Or tell us what version of the chip you're basing that off (8-SPE chip at 4Ghz?)? Thanks
barnak said:
You can be sure they'll still claim that, might magic something out of their dot product figures. The GPU alone can account for most of that though (GPU figures are very fuzzy, NVidia was claiming 1Tflop for the NV40 - initially at least - so..).

In what way? Their worse or better? I've heard the edram ammount would be bigger and the hardrive at least 40gb. The gpu clock speed also sounds kinda low, arent last year gpus already around that?
