X-Box 48 pipelines!!!!!  

I know it's incredible. But let's hope it holdes goals. We never know what ps3 or nintendo revolution(my ass..) has to offer. Japan ppl has no life then just build such stuff as this.

I will be damn happy if xbox is better than those shit japs consoles

I wonder if the Xbox360 will support mouse/keyboard gaming. That would be nice.... and quite deadly... hee hee...

It would suck to be stuck with only controllers.

It will support mouse and keyboard, but it is upto the developers to implement them into their games. Microsoft said that they didn't want the Xbox360 to be a mini-pc, but i guess anything could happen.

I detect a distinct strand of anger here.

Dude, do you really think most of the components in an xbox were built in the USA?

Yeah, when you think about it, I feel really sad for those 3rd World Countries.

why? nobody forces them, given the choice of unemployement and work... well, you can see what they choose!

Well actually ...
It creates a lot of oppertuninities for the country.
It creates a lot of jobs for the poeple which gives them more money then .
A lot of 3rd world countries microprocessor companies give accomandations to their workers.
And they provide them with food.

The company will build nice buildings and facilities in the country.
ETC /./ ETC

So really both countries benefit from it

But Any way ... back to the topic

I wouldn't say both countries benefit.

Look at how we have such an extreme maldistribution of wealth in the United States. The wealthy own most everything.

Great, nice buildings for people being underpaid. How unfair, no minimum wage, but office space will make up for it.

From the export/import standing, how the hell can we export anything back to these countries when they are too poor to buy because we pay them so little. India's middle class, on average, is worth only ONE FIFTH of the US's average middle class. This isn't the peoples fault, this is exploitation. The sad thing is that the American citizens aren't even getting anything out of it except less jobs and 10 dollars off a processor (whoopty ****ing doo). It just creates an extreme trade deficit (as we have now). So the American people lose their jobs because we aren't exporting goods for them to work on.

The United States thrived with heavy tariffs for many many years. And when they flirted with free trade after world war 1, what happened? Oh yes, the biggest stock market crash in all of history.

Currently, we see massive tariffs being placed on foreign steel. Because it's ruining the US's steel business. And the same thing will happen to anything else that can be made elsewhere.

I am not mad at you, but pissed at the United States for signing NAFTA and the FTAA.

'shit jap consoles'? just cause americans cant come up with great stuff until 10 years after the japanese have made tons of game consoles doesnt mean that the japanese have no life...

and also, why is an xbox thread in the dell p4 forum anyways? just for the few ignorant americans to bitch at the japanese b/c they're jealous that they cant advance so greatly themselves?

"Japan ppl has no life then just build such stuff as this. " Just because your own people arent able to do the same gives u no right to bash at others.

And who was the one that gave them this opportunity? The United States has been supporting Japan ever since the end of WWII. And what do the Japanese do in leu of this? They dump electronic goods on us and try to put our manufacturers out of business.

Hehe no one asked the US to go and bomb the shit out of Japan. So Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. That was cowardly but that was an act of war and that was a military base. The US retaliated by blowing up a freaking population center?! Puhlease! That is no excuse that just because the US has been helping Japan since WWII that Japan is dumping electronic goods and putting the US manufacturers out of business. Japan in terms of natural resources is nothing compared to the US. The US is one of the geologically most gifted countries on the face of the earth. Japan has nothing. They buy raw goods and produce top of the line products. Not bad for a little bunch of islands eh?? Also I read in Fortune or Forbes, I dont remember but 40% of the worlds consumption of top of the line luxury goods is by Japan. These people have dedication in what they do...why do you think Toyota is kicking so much ass and GM and Ford going down the drain? You gotta give credit where credit is due is all I am saying and not excuses, thomaszak which you are spouting.

As for the poster with the shit Japanese consoles, you have every right expressing that but I would wait till the PS3 comes out...and you already know the PSP is a major hit right?

Cheers!

Well gee, maybe if americans were going to b1tch at the japanese in the future, they shouldn't have helped them! typical that americans are jealous because they cant keep up with the technology. It's not the japanese who are putting american manufacturers out of business, its the american manufacturers themselves. Maybe they should work harder to keep up in the everchanging world, and they wont have to B1TCH about it every time the japanese slap an awesome product in their faces

Sure is lots of stereotyping in here.."japanese" this and "americans" that. Maybe in some parts of america it is the norm to be ignorant and paranoid about foreign countries, but that certainly isnt common everywhere. As for japanese products smack american products in the face, its not so much that, its that the japanese have mastered the art of making a kick ass device thats also affordable. We've got great stuff made here in the USA...it just happens to be more expensive, and in a wal-mart society that exists here, that just doesnt fly. I make an effort to buy american where I can, and where it makes sense, because I like to balance my purchases. I know I more than meet my quota for purchasing foreign goods

Wow you really must be ignorant. Seriously, Japanese electronics and items are just flat out better than Americans. Lets take cars for example, Japan makes cars with better technology and better reliability. There price is also comparable to American cars. I'd know from experience. We own a '97 Dodge Grand Caravan and we spent a few thousands dollars on repairs on that POS. Now I'm not saying that all American items are bad, but when it comes to electronics and cars Japan owns. Although I'm not saying that game consoles or computers from America are less reliable.

yeah so how about that xbox?

arguing about japan is doing a lot here...

and don't get me started on the cars...

You can also find someone that has had bad experiences with imports also so the whole domestic verses import car thing is stupid. I myself only buy American cars built in the US.

Oh ya . The xbox i think is going to kickass. Go to hard ocp and read up on it if ya havent. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzY4
