well you can always send those out with the discs

For everyone who is wondering a devolper xbox a very large and expensive xbox with essentially the hardware unloced and a nice dev pakage, it was in the $8k range last time I checked.

Actually what I think it would work if the beta was done in two phases. Inhouse for the first round (like an extended alpha), second round do a limited run of xbox beta discs that will play in a normal xobx. Have the beta testors submit bugs to a central website. The beautiy of this test is that you get to try out xbox live across the country. And also have a variety of people providing final input on the game. I belive it would be benifitial for the game (must as i respect BVI and mons work, good to get outside feedback). I know it might be tough to pull it off, but i have faith in BVI, dave, and cliff you can do it!!!!

Wonderful news! The more TRON there is in the world, the better!

Frankly, I hope there are many new things added to the game, other than just Xbox Live support. New single-player levels, remixed levels...bring it on! And let me add my voice to those calling for Co-op!

And for those of you who don't wish to support Microsoft by buying an Xbox, why not buy one used? Hit your local pawnshops, Gamestop, or even Ebay. Buy a used Xbox and send a message to the MAN!

It's not quite the same green.

I like the Xbox Green glow, Jet's revised suit and the little Xbox "X" on Mercury's suit. Being able to choose them in the PC version when playing MP games and being able to play on the new maps on the PC would be appreciated.

I'm probably never going to buy an Xbox (or any other console for that matter) because I already have plenty of money invested in my PC (not to mention that I'm planning to build a new PC after PCI-Express motherboards are released) and barely enough time to enjoy it as it is.

I think console-exclusive content is a good way to sell games, but it stinks when the content is never made available at a later date on the PC, especially when the success of the PC version was what made the console version possible.

Take a look at Half-Life: Blue Shift. That entire episode of the Half-Life experience would've been console exclusive if we PC gamers (who have poured tons of cash into the franchise) didn't raise a stink (and I'm sure the impending demise of the Dreamcast didn't hurt.) We got Blue Shift, but we still got stiffed out of the PS2's Half-Life: Decay co-op game and the extra Alien Slave levels. My brother-in-law has HL for the PS2, and I've tried to play the alien part of the game, but I can't play a FPS with those freakin' control pads and the fun is completely sucked out of the game.

We know HL for the PS2 isn't the best selling console game ever. It didn't make anywhere near the money the PC version made, and still makes. But do PC gamers have HL: Decay or the chance to play as an Alien Slave? No. And it isn't right.

I sincerely hope that PC gamers get to d/l at least some of the new content, if there won't be an expansion pack that it can be included in. I'd even be willing to pay $5.00 for the new stuff if that's what it takes.

I'd just like to go on record as saying I got a good chuckle out of that picture! Nonetheless, I do like the colour scheme. It works surprisingly well.

Something I thought of the other day - I wonder whether Microsoft can be persuaded to release a comemorative TRON Xbox complete with cold cathode lights...

I've been waiting to add my input to this discussion. I have a lot to say. I"ve read all the posts and will now commence with my lengthy, interesting, important and sometimes convoluted opinion:

I'm going to start saving my pennies and nickles for an X-Box. By the time the game's done I'll have one.

Eh, that's it. where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

That's all XBox is.

I'm absolutely sure that it is a 100% PC in that machine the only thing that is different from the others like the PS2 like the cube and all that. Take a look at the specifications on it. They mention type of CPU that is in there. A Intel PIII 733 MHZ processor, 64 megs of ram. THe NVidia Chipset for the videocard/display. And of course the hard disk of 10-20 gigabytes in size. I do not know if they are using the Maxtors 8-20 gig hard drive for storage. The others machines do not carry Computer components like that at all in the others. I've taken a look on the web site. I cannot remember which one specifically. I'll scope it out tonight to make sure that I can post the link. And you can see the difference between the new consoles. And what they have inside them.

Not to knock the other consoles down either.They are all good console gaming macines just that they have different things in them that make them different from the others. The chip set alone for the Xbox itself was made in conjunction with Xbox at the time of development. And its a great graphics card to have in any machine even ithe console.

Here is a sample of what I was able to get just now. Its a web site from teh UK showing the spevification of some of the console including the Xbox.

Consoles

I think personally Even though this is a quick search on consoles themselves. Everone who is interested ing something like this should take a look into it. Its like buying a car, house, or Computer for that matter. I try and get the research done on things like this. Enjoy.

I think it's why a few friends of mine were thinking of getting one - they wanted a cheap web server for their home! ... and listen, are you sure it's just a plain old PC? I thought that nVidia actually designed a variant graphics chip that, while based on their GeForce4 technology, wasn't actually one of the GeForce4 chips that were available for PC graphics cards.

Heh heh! In theory. Unfortunately, bugs can and do crop up. I read a GameSpot review of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb where they tested several copies on several Xboxes, and all had the same problems.

Yeah, this is true. I was unlucky enough to get one of the first batch of US Dreamcasts. MK and Sonic were both so buggy I returned the system. But, in general anyway, consoles tend to be easier to play games on cause that's their main function.
