The consoles are being assembled in China, which is notorious for being asian.

lmfao.

Off topic: This is where x86 got its secret handshake from (which I still remember =p).

Q: Are there stairs in your house?
A: I am protected.

PS: Thats the SA handshake, not the x86.

Haha, did you see "Horrible Link of the DAy" or whatever it was at the bottom?

The religious comics?  I mean I'm a pretty religious person, but those kinds of people are the ones that need to be bludgeoned with a tetherball pole for being idiots.

Edit --



Holy shit...

actually I'm pretty sure you can play PS2 games on a Xbox360 ... at least I know you can on normal Xbox... I just put in a modchip than dled some rom files and if I put in an extra hard drive POOF I can play any PS2 game out there.... end of story, GG   (same goes for N64 and SNES and w/e the fuck else there is including gameboy color"

This is not plausible because the Xbox uses the x86 instruction set, and PS2 uses the MIPS instruction set. This is why you'll see the implementation of the 360's compatibilty with regular Xbox games to be spotty at best, because the 360 uses PPC cores which don't run x86.

So, in essence, you're full of shit.

Actually, I think the modchip will allow for this.  IIRC it translates the instructions (same for PS2 modchip, it can translate instructions from GCN and XBox1).

Websense blows.

Websense blows.

Yes, yes it does.

Exactly why I said it's not plausible. Besides, writing the instruction set to change x86 to MIPS wouldn't be cost effective.

Whatever.  I've heard it translates instructions.  I'll have to take your word for it.  I really have no clue what's going on inside them.
