E3 – More X-Box 360 info

Posted on May 17, 2005 in Games

After the X-Box 360 was just announced five days ago on that crappy MTV spot finally more details were release and it looks like I’ll be getting one to use as a media center in the living room and for other purposes as well. I watched some of the announcement through xbox.com. It was finally reveled that it will be backwards compatible so I’ll finally be able to play Fable, KOTOR2 and Jade Empire once I get one this fall along with some of the 25-40 launch titles and with 160 games in development it looks like there will be not shortage on games. And with Square-Enix as a developer I’m hoping the system will have some good RPGs.

Here are some pictures of it:
