They are from Norway, Skien.. and I am a huge fan.. Was on the releasepar y for their new cd (enigmatic calling) and it was GREAT! (It was filmed and i s going to be released for a dvd later..)

A PC with all this stuff in it would run close to 7-800 bucks at a quick guess. It's another "Big Gates Gamble" as I'm sure they are going to lose money on this again and hope to make it up with game software sales. Street price for the Xbox 360 will be somewhere between 300 and 400 bucks. Expect it in stores in time for the 2005 December Holiday Season. Here are some highlights: - 20-gig, detachable, upgradeable hard drive. The original had only an 8-gig nonremovable hard drive. - Three dual-core processors running at 3.2 gigahertz each. The original ran just one 733 megahertz Chip. - Half a GIG of RAM! The original: 64MB. - Three USB ports. The old Xbox had none and ditto with memory cards, the new one has two ports for 64-meg cards that can be used to save games, so you can be play on a friend's console. - Built-in extender for Windows XP Media Center, this is big. - Up to four wireless (!) controllers. - Sleek design with removable faceplate (like cell phones) - Plays DVD's, CD's and supports HighDef. Add a few speakers and you have a basic but very serviceable audio/video system. Pretty sweet. I have the original Playstation, and haven't played it much as of late. Could be time to upgrade. :) ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 7145 ************************** === Contributions to ytsejam: ytsejam@torchsong.com === === Send requests to: ytsejam-request@torchsong.com === === More information at: http://www.dreamt.org/local/ytsejam.php === === Brought by the ghost of ytsejam@arastar.coms past === === Reach the owner of this list at: ytsejam-owner@torchsong.com ===
