XBOX365 Insider har i et par uger ligget inde med planer over XBox’ens skematiske opbygning. Uden at være i stand til at bekræfte historien, som værende sand eller falsk – har de offentliggjort historien.
Det er ikke til at vide, om der er en “insider” hos Microsoft, der bevidst har lækket fortrolige oplysninger. Det meget omtalte skema ser dog lidt primitivt ud, for at sige det mildt. Derudover er der oplysninger om farver, hardware specifikationer m.m.
- The color of the box is chrome but is expected to be offered in black and other colors. Possibly Neon.
- A few things discussed included the fact that the controller ports may be moved to the bottom of the unit instead of the middle. This makes for easier production of the Xbox so that they can be incorporated onto the system board.
- The slot DVD drive might be replaced with a tray design but at present Microsoft prefer the sleekness of slot drives. There is however, concern over stuck CD’s with this design. But I was assured that Xbox will not be a top loading DVD platform because it is to be more of a component like your VCR or DVD player than a games looking machine.
- In the picture (attached) there are audio connectors for the Microsoft voice recognition device but MS decided that there would be too many wires and instead opted to expand the controllers connector and put a audio/mic jack on the controller for a less messy setup.
The controller takes a memory cartridge like compaqflash memory where commands are stored along with voice so that players can remove them. Xbox games will respond to voice commands using the headsets. - Microsoft have moved the Tivo/Replay TV function to an expansion slot, which will save on costs and will be offered as an upgrade to the product. The TV functionality will come with a specially coded MS DVD that will have all the screen controls for using the device.
Om dette skulle være de rigtige planer, tvivler vi stærkt på, men én ting er sikkert – der bliver spekuleret og gættet meget på hvordan, den færdige XBox vil tage sig ud.
