Rumor train for X06 set to end in Barcelona |
Ó
After all that hype and fun at the Tokyo Game Show this year, Microsoft will again be wowing audiences, much to the delight of Xbox fans. This time, the hype goes to Barcelona, Spain. Yes, Barcelona will be Xbox City as it hosts X06.
X06 is the Xbox brand experience for the games and entertainment industry. It will start September 27 and will last till the next day. And roughly hours before the event starts, the rumor train is already at full speed. So why don't you take a ride and we'll share you some of what it carries?
First is the HD-DVD release date and price for Europe and U.S. that is expected to be announced in the conference. A speculation is that the add-on will start retailing in the U.S. on the 24th of November for the price of $ 200, while Europe will get their hands on it on the 1st of December for the price of € 150. The HD-DVD is expected to be bundled with Universal Media Remote.
Another exciting rumor is that there will be updates about 1080p. Also taking a ride in the rumor train is the new dashboard, which will hopefully be released late November this year. A new Halo 3 trailer is also speculated to be shown in X06. Rumor has it that Halo 3 will run natively on 1080p and will include info on the multiplayer features; sad news is that only a handful of people will be able to see the playable demo.
Aside from Halo 3, other game titles also joined the rumor mill: Gears of War single player and multiplayer videos will be shown plus trailer and multiplayer for Fable 2 will be confirmed. Another thing you surely don't wanna miss is the confirmation as to whether the Black Xbox 360 will really be available this holiday. Also to watch out for in X06: new Xbox 360 core and premium bundles and Xbox 360 Classics games list, which includes Kameo and PDZ. Wow!
Xbox fans may also be interested in being updated with news on Xbox's Live Anywhere and how it will function. Will it really function with Zune and XBLA titles? X06 will hopefully answer that question. Furthermore, we heard that Alan Wake is now fully playable and will also be available on Windows Vista. The X06 floor will also let us get our hands on lots of playable demos, picture packs, and themes. Well, we hope this X06 rumor train will definitely stop at the Barcelona station.
We know what you are thinking right now. You definitely want to be in Barcelona! But don't worry, we here at QJ will surely deliver you 'hot-off-the-rack' news and updates on X06 and we'll let you know which passengers of the rumor train actually got off in Barcelona. Stay tuned!

That's how you can tell these guys are done. They are offering free repairs on their machine. Their bringing out their HDDVD, which I think is causing more harm then good. Their are also bringing both of their main games pretty soon HALO and GOW. At this rate I don't think they will have to much to offer around this time next year. They may offer a bigger fan for the back. I'm shocked that their going to attempt to make a native 1080p game with DVD9's.
FYI next gen starts in about a month!!!
PS3 is not as powerful as sony claims. Do the math.... Oh but then again, you probably no nothing about technology.
SONY'S TRUTH!!!!!!!
Im just clearing things up which people seem no to understand that sony is again overhyping, but this time theyve done well to hide it.and its just a matter of time before it gets released.
First a bit on my background.
I have done an education for computer sciences with a major in 3D graphics development, and I am now working for my PhD.
Since this is so, I have worked quite a bit with hardware in terms of programming and graphics creation
Let me warn all of you, sony is overhyping it's product once again, like they have done before.
And I am amazed to see how biased several of the webpages and magazines are.
They all try to downsize Xeon and Xenon technology, but with the arguments and testcases that most of these sources come up with , Cell and RSX will often come out way worse, yet that's a thing they do not show us of course.
Many people don't seem to grasp that ATI's Xenon truly is a revolution in terms of pipeline architecture.
Unlike the RSX the Xenon is truly next gen,
Xenon revolutionizes powermanagement within it's core, so it doesn't need all the mhz's to create a massive output.
The unified shader architecture also gives developers way more playground, and the Xbox 360 will certainly be able to incorperate more ways of instruction for creating and rendering the graphics on screen.
The RSX on the other hand will have it's massive clockspeed, but it will use it in a less efficient way.
Anyway, with the specs of both consoles now fully released it is possible to do a REAL TIME comparinson of the 2 consoles,your about to see what most of the sony representetives didnt want you to see.
Comparing these two GPU's is like comparing Apples to Banana's.
RSX on paper will have certain advantages over Xenon, and Xenon will have certain advantages over RSX.
There is the element of co-operation with the CPU we also have to consider.
Ok, lets put up the specs for the RSX as published.
- 550 Mhz
- 51 billion dot products/sec count's for total system performance
- 300 Million Transistors
- 136 shader operations per clock
good now that's for the facts as presented to us, we have 550 MHz of power to work with
The Cell and the RSX together are capable to produce 51 billion dot products.
I think it is interesting to take a closer look at this claim especially, since I worked with this bit while the specs of both consoles first became public, the important thing is that mnay people just compare the seperate peices of each console to PS fanboys and PS3 no-it-alls it will be music to there ears, but to us who know about comoputers and know how to compare them,ill tell you one thing, sony has lost alot of its credibility ;).
Anyway.
Since the Cell will have 7 DSP's all being able to do a dot product per cycle, we have some numbers to work with, we can put the numbers in a small calculation.
7DSP * 3.2(ghz) = 22.4 billion dot products/sec for the CPU
since we had 51 billion in total , we will have to substract them to know what is left for the GPU.
51 - 22.4 = 28.6 Billion dot products
When you devide this number to the clockspeed of the GPU you will get 52 ALU operations per clock as they are called.
Now as stated before, the RSX's architecture is not that different from the GeForce 6800 and so it will use Vector4 standards.
Since ATI's architecture is done with Vector5s it will handle the material a bit different.
Now there also the Multiply Add instructions, in short MADD instructions to work with.
In plain English MADD means that the vector graphic will be recalculated to it's precise position, and the instruction always sort of double checks before we get output, that's why we have throw in the 2 value in the end calculation.
So, what we have here is this.
52 ALU ops * 4 floats (vector4s) * 550 (clockspeed) * 2 (MADD) =228.8
Gflops for the RSX and Cell as a team.
If we do the
Hey, stop being a ***** nowone has time to read all of that crap.
That black 360 is pretty nice and i'd get one if there was. Hope there is a new halo trailer/demo out
You were trollin, and he came correct.
Just wanted to say, why didn't they mention that there might be a Pro Evo 6 demo available tonight
THATS THE BIGGEST NEWS OF THE EVENT TO MOST PEOPLE
Most the stuff listed isn't even "rumour" but confirmed
Halo 3 1080p - confirmed
Gears of War trailer - confirmed
HD-DVD $199 - confirmed
*****ty old qj.net as per usual, not telling us anything new, telling us stuff we don't care about, and not telling us the stuff we do care about.
wankers
well i think i should first thank you for the info but I mean screw you for being a *****. What the hell you come to this site you read the artical and even post but all you do is bithc about how you hate this site... I have an idea don't go to this site.
You're a fool....1080p has nothing to do with dvd 9's....look at half-life two, it supports well OVER 1080P resolutions, has some of the best textures in any game, and fits on HALF of a dvd9......changing the resolution that game assets are displayed at does not change the size of the game assets (on disk).....
As far as your theory goes, it's ungrounded and plain noob'ish.....try learning about the subject you want to debate before opening your mouth....
there isnt a "W" in no-one
and #1 halo wont be released until next year. idiot.
$199 for HD-DVD drive f no im playing same as ps3
