09:25:31) Source: Hey man.
(09:25:35) miDnIghtEr20C: we are all excited as hell!
(09:25:42) miDnIghtEr20C: all the rumors swirling!
(09:25:59) miDnIghtEr20C: we are all salivating at the rumors!
(09:26:27) Source:: Awesome!!! Yeah, it's a bit of a downer that so much has leaked...but the good thing is that so much is out there that is't true, it masks some of the stuff that is true...
(09:27:01) Source:: That said, I'll bet some of you guys have been able to figure out what's tue and what's not..
(09:27:52) miDnIghtEr20C: a little
(09:27:56) miDnIghtEr20C: i'm guessing the 8 gigs
(09:28:07) Source:: Yep.
(09:28:13) miDnIghtEr20C: and actually, i'd have to open another page to see the other rumors. lol
(09:28:17) miDnIghtEr20C: can't remember off the top
(09:28:21) Source:: Hahaha...
(09:28:36) miDnIghtEr20C: not much has leaked on the controller!
(09:28:45) miDnIghtEr20C: ha ha! i feel as only i know!
(09:28:47) Source:: Yep.
(09:28:55) miDnIghtEr20C: discrete screen! rumble on triggers if still going on
(09:28:57) miDnIghtEr20C: great!
(09:29:11) miDnIghtEr20C: you see the rumor of ps3 being stronger than new xbox?
(09:29:14) miDnIghtEr20C: uh oh!
(09:29:25) miDnIghtEr20C: i'm guessing the core thing is correct as well
(09:30:24) miDnIghtEr20C: here was an ign list...
(09:30:25) miDnIghtEr20C: 1. State of Decay and LocoCycle will be the stars of this year’s Summer of Arcade.
2. Shadow Complex 2 will finally be announced…as an Xbox Live Arcade launch title on the next-generation Xbox.
3. Said next-generation Xbox will be publicly announced at a special event one month or less prior to E3 in June. It will be broadcast live on Xbox Live and the Internet.
4. Microsoft will take a page from the Apple playbook and officially call the next-gen Xbox simply “Xbox.” Not Xbox 720, not Xbox Infinity, not anything else. We’ll casually refer to it as “The New Xbox” for a while until it’s not new anymore.
5. The New Xbox (see, we’re doing it already!) will cost $400 in its most popular/gamer-friendly configuration. Not a penny more. A basic, smaller-storage version will run you $350.
6. The New Xbox will be released in November and kick serious ass on both the tech bench and at retail store registers.
7. Bungie’s new game Destiny will be the headliner at Microsoft’s E3 press conference and be the flagship title for T
(09:30:53) Source:: Yeah, we actually have a fair amount of research on the next Playtation, and it likely will be a bit more powerful in raw specs...but the question is how efficient will it be... and we're predicting that there won't be a huge delta in perf, but Sony will probably have a technical edge.
(09:31:11) miDnIghtEr20C: and another from vgrumors... which btw, is a side sister site of here.
(09:31:13) miDnIghtEr20C: Source Says: CPU:
- x64 Architecture
- 8 CPU cores running at 1.6 gigahertz (GHz)
- each CPU thread has its own 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache
- each module of four CPU cores has a 2 MB L2 cache resulting in a total of 4 MB of L2 cache
- each core has one fully independent hardware thread with no shared execution resources
- each hardware thread can issue two instructions per clock
GPU:
- custom D3D11.1 class 800-MHz graphics processor
- 12 shader cores providing a total of 768 threads
- each thread can perform one scalar multiplication and addition operation (MADD) per clock cycle
- at peak performance, the GPU can effectively issue 1.2 trillion floating-point operations per second
High-fidelity Natural User Interface (NUI) sensor is always present
Storage and Memory:
- 8 gigabyte (GB) of RAM DDR3 (68 GB/s)
- 32 MB of fast embedded SRAM (ESRAM) (102 GB/s)
- from the GPU's perspective the bandwidths of system memory and ESRAM are parallel providing combined peak bandwidth of 170 GB/sec.

(09:31:33) miDnIghtEr20C: i think Sony is rushing this time around
(09:31:45) miDnIghtEr20C: they were supposed to have such a strong 10 year plan.
(09:32:11) Source:: yeah, those specs are pretty much accurate.
(09:32:31) miDnIghtEr20C: those damn guys that bought the durango cpu!
(09:32:41) miDnIghtEr20C: a lot of guys on hdd say they won't buy unless it's bc
(09:32:47) miDnIghtEr20C: hope it's bc a bit!!
(09:32:51) miDnIghtEr20C: shut them up!
(09:33:46) miDnIghtEr20C: i'm getting so excited for the start
(09:33:46) Source:: Something they don'tmention, though, is the new box will have TWO scaler chips... and what's cool about that is the UI can always be 1080p, while in-gamerendering resolutions can scaled to increase perf as needed... two dynamic resolution planes.It's nifty.
(09:34:29) Source:: It'll defintely be BC... definitely. But, will every game work? Probably not...
(09:34:31) miDnIghtEr20C: nice
(09:34:42) miDnIghtEr20C: OH shyt!
(09:34:45) miDnIghtEr20C: thanks for that tidbit!
(09:34:48) miDnIghtEr20C: that's awesome
(09:35:04) miDnIghtEr20C: that info (from my source, hidden as always) is very nice!
(09:35:16) miDnIghtEr20C: i'm trying to get into e3
(09:35:22) Source:: Nice!
(09:35:28) miDnIghtEr20C: but 750 is fukking expensive!
(09:35:45) Source:: Yeah.... it is...
(09:36:03) Source:: Hey, sorry I never got you those codes... I just got really busy.
(09:36:12) Source:: I didn't forget, though.
(09:36:21) miDnIghtEr20C: no worries
(09:36:25) miDnIghtEr20C: i was just bustin your balls
(09:36:35) miDnIghtEr20C: i know you haven't forgotten about us
(09:36:44) miDnIghtEr20C: your small followers!
(09:36:46) miDnIghtEr20C: ha
(09:36:55) Source:: Hahahaha...
(09:37:04) miDnIghtEr20C: how's perfect dark looking? still launch ready?
(09:38:26) miDnIghtEr20C: kinect sports 3 maybe
(09:38:40) Source:: I kno that Rare's other title is heavily invested in water simulation...it's pretty amazing to see what they've done.
(09:38:41) miDnIghtEr20C: how's the controller looking? you guys going touch screen? or just regular
(09:38:48) miDnIghtEr20C: i love water games
(09:38:56) miDnIghtEr20C: wish hydro thunder was a full game
(09:38:58) miDnIghtEr20C: lol
(09:39:32) miDnIghtEr20C: LOVED that game
(09:39:41) miDnIghtEr20C: if it's like that... then you just gave me a morning boner
(09:39:44) Source:: Then I think you'll like what's coming from Rare...
(09:39:59) miDnIghtEr20C: i just post about that game about 3 weeks ago, saying i wish nintendo would make a next gen waverace
(09:40:06) miDnIghtEr20C: awesome B)
(09:41:47) miDnIghtEr20C: i'm looking forward to it all man
(09:42:03) Source:: Me too... I cn't wait for us to announce!!
(09:42:03) miDnIghtEr20C: i think MS is in the drivers seat where it matters most.. here in the USA
(09:42:08) miDnIghtEr20C: giving us all what we want
(09:42:20) miDnIghtEr20C: i'm guessing you guys announce before E3 right?
(09:42:23) miDnIghtEr20C: that other game show.
(09:42:27) miDnIghtEr20C: forget the name
(09:42:45) miDnIghtEr20C: awesome man
(09:42:53) miDnIghtEr20C: thanks a lot for coming back
(09:43:01) miDnIghtEr20C: we live for you sneaky tidbits
(09:43:11) miDnIghtEr20C: it makes our nerdy video game lives very exciting.
(09:43:33) miDnIghtEr20C: maybe next time you can let us know a bit more about kinect 2.0!
(09:43:50) Source::
(09:44:56) miDnIghtEr20C: ok man... i have to get ready for work too
(09:44:58) miDnIghtEr20C: have a good one
(09:45:00) miDnIghtEr20C: see ya later
the low budget games.
cop the first one out then grab the other one up after the first couple price drops 
@ these clowns thinking the ps3 would be a 10 year console BEFORE the ps4 dropped. Of course they meant SUPPORT for 10 years a la the ps1 and ps2.
