As per the first thread i felt that this one should be a thread with a simple goal, and that is to provide the collected resources(official resources, not an ex-bungie wal-mart thread) of all the CAG's to make one awesome place to check out, when a new post is to occur, now i would post some new updates, but there really are none, but i will post out the three most important questions when it comes to the xbox2...
1.Backwards Compatibility?
2.Price?
3.Hard Drive?
so please if there are any official releases, or sure things please post, i expect this place to be littered after E3 with some good stuff, so until then, ill see you on the battlefield.

RUMOR #3: The real reason for the current Xbox shortage is that Microsoft is repurposing its manufacturing to crank out next-gen Xboxes in time for Q4. Source: British game-industry magazine MCV. The official story: "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation"--Microsoft spokesperson. What we heard: Although Microsoft wasted no time in telling us that it "does not comment on rumors or speculation," this bit from MCV sounded pretty plausible. After quoting UK Xbox boss Neil Thompson's admission that current Xbox "supply does not meet demand," the trade magazine said that an executive of a major US retailer told it that the next-gen Xbox will arrive in force for the holidays. "We have been told to expect roughly 1 million Xbox 2s in Europe alone by the end of the year, and 1.5 million by the end of March," the executive supposedly said. Although it seems strange that an American retailer would tell a British magazine about a European product launch, the theory is not without precedent. According to Japanese sources, one of the main reasons for last year's shortage of the slimline PlayStation 2 was that Sony had switched much of its capacity over to a new game platform--a little thing we like to call the PSP. Bogus or not bogus?: Probably not bogus.

Info quoted from a Gamespot Rumor article, 03/25/2005. They think it sounds real. Any release date is a good one, even a rough date. Let's hope that the Q4 release is real! I'll keep my eyes open for more info.
