Well several people have been questioning the release date of the new xbox, I investigated it. Turns out, MTV accidentally released the news on when it was coming out on the description for an MTV show.
?This special highlights the exciting new generation of XBOX. Packages include: Tours of the design labs Interviews with the designers Behind-the-scenes and inside scoop Never-before-seen footage of new videogames. Trailers of the newest games that are due out in November for the new XBOX. The next generation will be revealed at an event at the Avalon club in LA, hosted by Elijah Wood and featuring performances by The Killers and Snow Patrol.?
We also have some more reassurance from our good friend Bill Gates, who stated in the yearly Society of American Business Editors and Writers meeting, that it will come out sometime this year.
November! Yes, thats right, November!

- It is a wireless controller.
- The Xbox 360 console will support 4 wireless controllers.
- It will also have 3 other USB slots for other controllers.
- Controllers are compatible on Longhorn.
- Controllers that are wired have a 9 foot cord.

- Intergrated button to straight away activate Xbox Live Menu.

Ok, Great we have all the latest details on the hardware . We know how powerful and multi-functional the machine is going to be . But what does it all boil down to ? the games. At the end of the day thats what the whole console is about. Not the 3.2 Gig Processors or the Xenon Technology.
These are the games that we know are going to be released on the Microsoft Xbox 360 as they are currently in development. We even got some eye candy for you. Warning : Some of these pictures look incredible !
Gears of War
Ghost Recon 3
NBA 2K6
Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
Call of duty 2
Ninety-Nine Nights
Battlefield: Modern Combat
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Full-Auto
