To sum up the important stuff regarding XBL:

There will be two versions of Xbox Live. Silver is free (everyone gets it), and Gold is a paid subscription, like the current XBL. It looks like Xbox Live will be free on the weekends for everyone; Gold members will get it all the time, obviously. Current Xbox Live accounts will carry over to the 360 and become Gold Xbox Live accounts. Both Gold and Silver members will be able to download demos, trailers, and other content through XBL.

This info seems pretty legit, and some insiders have confirmed that this is indeed a real leak. At this rate, you have to wonder if Microsoft will have anything left to reveal at the MTV unveiling on May 12. :p

It's turning up everywhere, typos and all. I'm fascinated by this new speed measurement designated MNz.

It's also kind of funny that the freebie Xbox Live gives away everything except the core function, multiplayer gaming. Except for the free weekends, that is. Appears to be the heroinware approach. The first dose is always free.

- Track info for CDs (S) (O)

I suggested that a few years ago to a tech support.

"Silver" and "Gold", eh? I hope the prices are the same.. Gold could be year subscribers/monthly subscribers and Silver could be trial users..

Freakin' sweet to everything.

can some one explain free weekends ? huh are they offereing 500 anytime minutes with that

Paying customers would presumably become Gold level users automatically.

jesus kid, do you even read?

I just saw that this was already posted, so this will be merged/locked soon, but seriously, you ask about XBL accounts.. it even says in the summary..

does that mean that the people with a silver account will have to pay, or will both silver, and gold have to pay for MMO access?

..uhh.. I was saying that I mentioned it and maybe it was passed on, what the hell are you on about "stealing my idea".. i'm sure thousands of other people had the same idea.

I think this is for situations like Phantasy Star Online where the publisher charges a monthly fee of their own separate from Xbox Live. MMORPGs like EverQuest or World of Warcraft are a lot more expensive to operate than just offering a lobby for Halo 2 shootouts. So they're going to require subscriptions regardless of whther you're also paying for XBL.

Potentially, they could go the Guild Wars route and offer some free access but the text is just to make it clear that Microsoft doesn't control that end unless it is their own game.

no mention of video outputs?

xbox is goin to be so0 tight guys thats all that matters

Hmm, those are very impressive specs for the Xbox 360, if there legit...

Those are very high specs for a system that's only going to cost around $300.

just cant wait....

The memory unit storage is sad, besides that the system looks tight (spec wise)

The memory is MORE then enough! We are not talking Multi Task PC here we are talking about 512 MB just to run one game on. Rember that PS2 only has 32 MB! That is 16x more memory then PS2.
