It was kind of funny, how skitterish the xflop 1.5 full circle was
about having its back panel photographed at E3. There wasn't an actual
xflop 1.5 full circle at E3 but all the displays of the mockups were
arranged so the back panel couldn't be seen. During the whole time,
there wasn't a single one that was shown actually hooked up to any
display through the back panel. Sony proudly held up the PS3 and showed
the back panel many times, fully knowing that is where the meat of the
box is, the main interface to everything. Now, there is a photo
comparing the back panels between the two. Which one looks like it will
be the most versatile, capable and expandable? Any wonder why xflop 1.5
full circle was trying so hard to hide its back panel? It is hilarious
all the damage control that is going with the xflop 1.5 full circle
fanfairies, almost like clowns running the circus.

No. The 360 is shorter and thinner than the PS3.

What all do you need on the back of the console anyways? The power plug,
the AV plug, the ethernet plug and what else? The 360 will probably use the
same custom cable/dongle system that the Xbox uses.

The front of the system is what's more important - that's where the
controllers and ports for any other removable devices (memory card, USB
keyboard/mouse, etc.) are going to be.

Considering that XBox 360 doesn't seem to be quite completed yet,
Microsoft probably didn't have a fully finished mockup to show at E3.
They seemed pretty ill-prepared, if you ask me.

Now then, what are all the ports on the back of the PS3? Looks like
you've got power, the confusing on/off switch, the AV port, ethernet,
and optical audio. But whare those other two ethernet-sized ports on top,
not to mention those 4 smaller ports? USB? Why does a console need 4
separate USB ports? 1 on the back, sure. 2 even. But 4? On the back?

Well, early PS1 and PS2 models had extra ports that were eventually
dropped, maybe it'll be the same with the PS3...

I was really hoping for more versatility from MS but maybe the adapter will
have it.
I hope the XBox 360 is HDMI or DVI capable

At least you're man (this is a real stretch, bare with me) to admit you're a
troll and system basher?

that frequent these groups know the XBox is my system of choice

It wasn't and didn't. That was just XFLop Fanfairies eating up the
Microsoft bullshit that was doled out to them. Remember when it was
said that all XFLop games would be 1080i? Never happened. In fact, 720p
was very rare and 480p was almost as rare. The XFLop fanfairies kept
saying the PS2 wasn't capable of 480p. Wrong. The one thing that the
XFLop had was a better TV-out chip, that was all.

This is an interesting question because there is a transformation
occurring. Microsoft has realized they have lost the next generation
graphics and processing power war, so they have switched their
propaganda tactics. It is even more interesting that Zackbitch has
already started being the early mouthpiece for this new "strategy".
This is the new strategy (it makes absolutely no sense but xflop 1.5
full circle fanfairies will be repeating this litany with dull monotony
from here on):

"Microsoft's positioning has changed as completely and dramatically
as one of its new console's removable faceplates. According to its
Xbox executives, it's (now) not about better graphics. It's not
about better sound (this time). It's (suddenly) not about more
capacity. It's not about having a custom CPU (or presumably a new
graphics processor). It's not even about the potential Microsoft
advantage of launching earlier than your competition. And it's not
about serving as a more affordable Windows Media Center or more
powerful Media Center Extender."

xflop 1.5 full circle - It's Not!!!

Dude, what's been shown is essentially a mock-up of the final case. There
are vents along the top (if its standing vertically) and more may be added
later for all we know. It is an asymmetrical hybrid between a fax machine
and a Foreman grill, but I'm sure it'll work just fine. And it doesn't look
THAT bad. It's prettier than the original Xbox at least, even if it is gonna
be the fattest and longest of the next gen consoles.

The overabundance of USB ports I can sort of get (if you assume four of them
are for wired controllers if you want them), but it's the two Ethernet OUT
ports that seem a little ambitious. Not to mention the second HD out port
that only rich people and hopeless dorks like "I MAKE TEH POLERISED
GLASSES!!1" Bligmerk will use. Then again, it was Sony who put the next to
useless Firewire port on the PS2. If they want to run up the cost of their
machine with ports that only 2% of consumers will use, that's their
perogative.

That's my guess - you'll have to buy a special adaptor from Microsoft just
as you had to for the component video/TOSLink connectors.

I gotta ask though...what's with consoles and their proprietary
connectors? Why can't someone just put a standard set of outputs on the
back of one these things?

HDMI and DVI are digital, component is analog. It needs more than an
adaptor if the X360 doesn't output DVI video.

Because different regions use different connectors maybe? Europe uses
something called SCART I believe. So with the same interface, they can
just change the cable instead of the whole box depending on which region
it's for.

Sony has with it's P3.
It has direct HDMI and optical outputs on the back panel.

That sure is weird because it seems that on my TV all my Xbox games look much
better then their PS2 versions. I guess I must have a special PS2 that had
certain features that were left out.

Hate to break it to ya Bliggy but both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are going to
be great systems and the only thing you have to look forward to is another
four or five years of being jealous of all the games you won't get to play
because of some stupid hangup you have with MS.
