    Your sig image is too big. The entire sig can be no larger than 500x250 pixels. Please reduce it in size before you repost. Thanks, XBA Staff.

    Believe it or not, but not only will it be PC compatible, but it'll be able to be hooked to to the PS3 to play system link. They're also working on a Gameboy Advance 2 adapter, so you can cross connect both devices.

    The current xbox already uses PC technology, as does everyother console. So this isn't exactly far fetched. It sounds like it could be pretty awesome though. Think about it. A game like Unreal Championship or Morrowind that people say have such horrible framerates could run good. Maybe instead of bringing out a new console every 5 years they are going to just realease the next Xbox and have it use PC technology so people can upgrade. That is kinda bad becuase they would be money holes but it is kind of good in the same sense. Maybe they would put out Processors, RAM and Video cards that would cost less than the PC counterparts. Ofcourse, the mouse keyboard idea is horrible in my idea. The other things have potential but I still doubt it is true.

    even though upgrading seems logical, i find it much to expensive! i remember when my computer used to be top of the line(like 4 years ago ) and then like within a year, games that were coming out had their minimum specs the same as my computers specs. so then i gotta go out a get more ram, new hardrive, new graphics card and it ends up leaving me poor without money to buy games. That is the whole reason I moved back to console gaming. the xbox was my first system since my snes. and it is a relief not to have to worry about a game not working on my xbox, since all xbox games will work! and the 300+ i will spend on consoles every 4-5 years is much less then the 200 dollar graphic card every 2 years, and the new 200 hardrive and however much i would spend on ram!
