X05 Xbox 360 Launch Event - Info and Pictures Roundup

October 10th 2005 | Games Consoles

Following on from Microsoft’s Xbox 360 launch event - X05 - in Amsterdam this week, bit-tech has rounded up the key information to come out of the conference, along with a bunch of new screenshots and snaps of some cool custom Xbox 360s:

The Xbox 360 will use game-specific emulation profiles to achieve compatibility with popular Xbox games. These profiles will require the hard drive, and the console will ship with a number of these profiles already on the drive, with more being made available for download for as long as there is demand. New profiles will be auto-updated onto the drive.

There will be a bunch of content already installed on the drive. This will include a custom soundtrack with some famous bands, as well as wallpapers and gamer icons for your Xbox Live Gamertag.
