Well it was revealed last night. I pvr'd the special but haven't watched yet...12:30 pm was too late for me on a school night :P
Audioholics has a good synopsis of the XBox360 and I list it in the Tower of Power becasue this thing is really a hybrid gaming / HTPC....
here's an excerpt:
"Wednesday, May 12, 2005 marked the day the details of the Xbox 360 were announced in a carefully promoted MTV 1/2 hour special hosted by Elijah Wood - possibly the world's most popular hobbit-gamer. While the 2005 release date for the Xbox 360 is set for around Christmas, everyone can whe their lips and gaze upon the specifications for the new game console.
Aside from the next generation HD-enabled game console, Microsoft is positioning the Xbox 360 to be a progressive scan DVD player, FM/Internet radio, HTPC with music/DVR/photo support, videoconference/chat system, and file sharing tool. This appears to be everything that Microsoft has been shooting for in terms of getting the PC into the living room...."
