360 Xbox Cheat Tip X

Xbox360Forum.com

What are your thoughts about adding Xbox360Forum.com to the external links? I am a member of the community and it has grown to over 4,000 members. We have been around for almost a year and it's a great place to discuss the Xbox 360 and ask questions.

So I'm submitting the Forum for peer review in accordance with the Wikipedia:External links policy. 66.98.152.31 01:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose - It's not notable, adds nothing unique to the article, and fan forums are treasure troves of unverified junk information and speculation. Seraphim 06:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Re: Procedural Synthesis

Shouldn't the sub-section 'procedural synthesis' be removed? The paragraph reads like an advertorial for MicroSoft XBox360 - any computer can do this and the technique is neither new nor exclusive to this console. VRken 21:26, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Game Prices

The article states that games like PDZ and PGR3 will 49.99$. I am fairly certain this is false because i preordered PDZ and was told it was going to be 59.99$ not to mention that all game sites uote the games as being 59.99$. I will look more into and make the changes.

System Bandwidth

The 360's GPU is a custom 512MB graphics card with 48-way pipelines,and 525Mhz clockspeed made by Microsoft&ATi. System's CPU runs at 512MB/s GDDR3 Ram (700Mhz). Total system memory bandwidth is 278GB/s a/sec. with 21.6 frontside bus,and 32GB/s backside bus, 10.8GB/s southbridge memory up&downstream. Total TFLOPS is 115.2TFLOPS. Which makes the graphics and computer much powerful than any high end PC to date, and the 360 is exactly what people want to see in graphics,memory,CPU's,entertainment,online,etc. seven years from now. It has the exact mathmematics of a supercomputer easily. With real-time graphics that look 3x better than ps3's CGI, what more could you ask for from this multi-media machine.

GPU and DirectX support

As I recall, the X360 XDK is using a customized DirectX API, thus comparison with DirectX version seems pointless. And that DirectX 10 would be renamed as WFG when Vista is out, I believe. Any comments? 71.109.0.182 23:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC)71.109.0.182

Graphics

i have heard that the graphics of the X-box 360 are so advanced that one can see the pores on skin. is there any truth to that? -J.L.

J.L., As reported on KATU.com (the ABC affiliate in Portland, Oregon) the graphics are so good that you can "actually see Russian soldiers exhaling as they battle Nazis on frozen battlefields" in "Call of Duty 2," the WWII first-person shooter game. 360 and several other games were test-run by Matt Slagle, an AP Tech Writer. M.M.

Time Article

In the time article on Xbox 360 there is a quote from Bill Gates that gave the impression that Halo 3 was comming out on the PS3's release date. It might be important to note that Microsoft made a retraction notice. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=61132

Remove and merge xbox screen of death link

user Mateusc created the xbox 360 SOD page and linked it to this article at the bottom, i dont think it warrents its own page and should be merged/ added somehow to this article.Tik 21:24, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

yeah thats what me and a couple others think as well, theres a discussion about it on that page.but i think the verdict is going to be merge the 2.Tik 15:22, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Xbox 360 Lounge pics

I really don't have an interest in the Xbox 360 or video games in general, but I found myself across the street from Tokyo's Xbox 360 Lounge on Sunday night, and tried out my new HDV camcorder on it. Some frame captures are below, if anyone thinks they're appropriate for the article

Clean Up!?

Great works on the articles boys (is there a girl?)

• The images, are just packed everywhere, why don't you all add them to the Image Gallery
• Some information needs to be seperated into another article, for less Contents
• The pricing and Packaging, shouldn't that be in a different article? like Chrome/Prenuim/Xbox 360 and Core System, Prices for each they should be togethr in another article, so people can know what the differences instead of packing all information just in one article
• The componements and Acceroies, should also be in a seprate article (remember ariticles are kb, accept the lenght/data packed in the article) so don't be afriad to do to many, do has much has you like.
• The "Hardware specifications-Viral advertising and alternate reality games" can stay. Remember the article says Xbox 360, it has to be about the name and console, and Components and accessories, or anything outside xbox360 should be a link to the article

Rememer, always listen to what the customer says, to make a better improvments.

Agree, also did you notice LINK city at the bottom? that needs to be cleaned up. minor problem though Tik 15:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree with you to an extent. The introduction definitely needs to be cleaned up and beefed up, so random customers and google-redirects are given a quick and factual summary. However I think that images should be used primarily to illustrate the pertinent sections, grouping them in a gallery would strain the fair use rationale. The article is getting quite large, but the hardware specs and official components and accessories really should be the pillars of the entry. The marketing info, launch title lists, and release info could easily be combined and exported into a Launch of Xbox 360 article. The Xbox Live service already has its own article as well, so that section could be merged away, and the links should be trimmed. These changes would cut the article by about a third. --anetode?? 15:58, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Number of Registers?

What's the total number of registers in the xbox360? the article states:

• Two hardware threads per core; six total .
• 128 VMX-128 registers per hardware thread .

So is that 6 * 128 = 786 ? What ever the case it needs to be clarified. 68.183.29.123 18:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Faked Undersupply

Is there any point of this? Come on, tell me that you can just walk into a store and buy one right here, right now. If not, then there you go. This thing sells like hot cakes, MS will probably ship under the projected 2.5~3 mil units in the first 90 days, now tell me, is there any business sense to do a "fake undersupply?" You try to sell as many as possible to get ahead of competitors.

how often is hardware said to be undersupplied and it turns out not to be? other than the PSP launch (but it wasn't AS touted as undersupplied, IIRC, as the xbox 360 is being...) i pulled up no articles googling the topic. well, not under the search "xbox 360" fake undersupply. any other thoughts, search ideas, sources?

• Real or fake, it caused one to go for $3450 on eBay. --badlydrawnjeff 21:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• just like all the other eBay auctions you see on the news (xbox360 eBay media hype) with huge dollar values, that one is fake. The user's feedback is now private, and got -1 from the seller.WiZZLa 16:29, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
  • It's my opinion that the private user who won the bid actually tried to scam the seller. Google for david_lascar (anagram of rascal) and check out his modus operandi on a previous scam involving a dog. That's what you get for being a greedy fuckhead trying to sell something at ten times it's price - you become a honeypot for real grifters, even if they are half-arsed. --81.178.239.207 17:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I dont think calling names is very mature, even if i agree that selling a 360 at 5k on ebay is not very respectable, however it is pretty smart for those people wanting to make a quick buck and not at all illegal, the fact that people actually buy them is what fuels this kind of behavior. But please do not use profanity in these discussion spaces as it is not professional or mature. Tik 15:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Furthermore American actors and actresses got their Xbox 360s for free at an event a full week before the launch: http://entimg.msn.com/i/gal/Xbox360_Launch_Party/Atmosphere_Caulf_6543611_600_400.jpg. Even Paris Hilton got a free one: http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/xbox360/hilton/ParisHilto_Caulf_6543975_600_400.jpg Dionyseus 19:12, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Supposedly Best Buy stores got 20 about a week or 2 ago, however, i dont remember hearing about any other stores getting 360's, and also not one store is getting 'weekly' shipments as peter moore has stated. I think the the truth is being bent somewhere.Tik 15:02, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Well i just got my 360 3 days ago, perhaps MS will start coming through on its promise to ship more units. i just hope everyone who pre-ordered one gets it. (also on a fancruft note: i played PDZ, NFS:MW, Q4, and CoD2, i am impressed so far). Happy New Year!!! Tik 14:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
