Daily Radar HBO got to this one first.

mad.max forwarded us an interesting press announcement, which states how some former Sega executives plan to offer a new gaming network to both personal computer users and console gamers. It's a bit too large to slap up in the news, so I've placed it here in the forum. Here's the essential information:

Pallor cites an MSNBC article in bringing us news that the Xbox is going to have a V-chip. If you haven't heard of this by now, the V-chip is a means for parents (or very cruel friends or spouses) to block out content that they don't want you to see.

Wired News is running an article on just how fast the X-Box is expected to be. They're giving credit for its performance to two factors: the nVidia graphics chipset, and the memory architecture of the X-Box, where the main and graphics processors share main memory.

From the article:

I ran across an interesting quote tonight in PC Gamer's State of the PC Union address. The unidentified author talks about a number of issues, including the loss of great developers like Looking Glass and the intensifying PC vs. console debate.

First seen at MSXbox, Computer and Video Games has picked up some information on the Xbox's expected price from Microsoft UK.

Xbox will NOT cost $400

US games sites are buzzing with speculation that the Xbox will debut at a $400 price point when it hits America at the end of the year. UK representatives of the company have told us this definitely isn’t the case.

Picked this tidbit up at Ars Technica, who report that Nvidia's XGPU and MCPX chips, the dual hearts of the XBox, are out of the lab and into fabrication. With some luck, this may mean that the demonstrations at Gamestock will be running on actual XBox hardware, or a development version thereof. And if not Gamestock, E3 looms larger every day...

Pythos posted in our forum about an interesting C.net article, which refers to another article at the Financial Times website.
