I have no idea why I am awake, but here's a bunch of Xbox stuff for you guys to ponder while I ponder sleep. Apparently Microsoft is gonna try and poopoo on the Playstation2 parade by announcing the final XBox specs on the PS2 launch date. Also I cant remember where I saw it (doh) but EA has more or less confirmed that they will be porting their sports titles to the new Microsoft console hybrid. A couple of other bits:
- XDome takes a look at the graphical backend of XBox, a lot of people look at the CPU speed and dont realize that isnt the only way to judge speed.
- Eidos recently confirmed that they are working on an exlusive title for the XBox
- Microsoft donated a few XBox machines to a fundraiser auction. Check out the story.
Lastly, Motleyfool has a really interesting overview of the upcoming console scene, which mentions the XBox specs as 'jaw dropping'.
