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!

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.
