Nintendo Revolution in Someone?s Home

Someone?s posted pictures of what?s supposed to be the Nintendo Revolution sitting on a desk at someone?s house.

Hands On Xbox 360 @ Digital Media Thoughts

Published by Newsfactory 0

The Xbox 360 was playing a high-definition WMV file off an MCE computer located elsewhere on the Microsoft campus, and I was impressed - the video started quickly, was responsive to commands from the Xbox wireless controller (yes, you can control your media with the remote). The demo was for Ghost Recon 3, and the graphics were jaw-dropping. What's most interesting here is that these first-gen games are largely single-threaded.

First Xbox 360 shots in the wild in the wild

Published by Newsfactory 1

That smug smile Napoleon Dynamite here is wearing apparently got wiped off pretty quick when after posting some of the first live Xbox 360 shots in the wild, he apparently started begging the forum mods where he dropped them to take it down. His reason? His step dad started at MS as ?Regulatory Compliance Manager?, and he got ahold of a hardware test unit?we can only guess the rest.

Xbox360 and PS3 CPUs Suck Incredibly Bad

Published by Newsfactory 6

This article was posted over at Anandtech at the weekend and then was mysteriously pulled but luckily for us Google have an archive.

Right now, from what we've heard, the real-world performance of the Xenon CPU is about twice that of the 733MHz processor in the first Xbox. Considering that this CPU is supposed to power the Xbox 360 for the next 4 - 5 years, it's nothing short of disappointing. To put it in perspective, floating point multiplies are apparently 1/3 as fast on Xenon as on a Pentium 4.
