Nueva FAQ de la Xbox...Importante!!!

Aqui teneis todas las preguntas que nos hicimos en ese foro acerca de ciertos temas en la Xbox...Os pondre y luego el resto esta en http://www.teamxbox.com

**Can I use my current ISP with the Xbox?
11/09/2001

Yes, you can use your current broadband (cable, dsl, isdn, etc.) connection with the Xbox once online play becomes a reality. If you broadband connection works on your computer without any logging in or special programs, then it will work with the Xbox. You may, however, want to pick up a cable/dsl router (under $100) so you can split your connection between your computer and the Xbox once online play is functional (mid-2002).

Teneis ya la respuesta!! Si teneis router externo (como decia yo antes) poodreis jugar en red ya que solamente tenemos que conectar la Xbox con el cable ethernet en el router y configurar la ip y el dns en la Xbox.

**Can I rip music CD's onto the Xbox?
11/09/2001

Yes. Microsoft has demonstrated this capability with Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding. Players will be able to rip, or transfer, their music from retail CD's onto the Xbox hard-drive with ease and play their custom music tracks during games that support the feature. Without a game in the drive, the Xbox can act as a multimedia CD player or WMA Player.


**Will Xbox support Dolby Digital?
11/09/2001

The Xbox video game system features a theater-quality audio experience, the best ever heard in a video game console. It has 64 simultaneous audio channels, 3D positional audio, and Dolby AC3 audio encoding. It also supports Dolby Digital.

**Can I play DVD movies on the Xbox?
11/08/2001

The Xbox console can play DVD movies only if you purchase the DVD Movie Playback Kit which has a suggested retail price of $29.99. The kit includes the required infrared receiver and a remote control designed for DVD playback.

**What's the Hard-Drive for?
11/08/2001

Microsoft decided to put an 8 gigabyte hard-drive into every Xbox for several reasons. A built-in hard-drive allows for a near endless amount of game save blocks so, if you don't have the need to transfer your saved games, you shouldn't need to buy a memory card... ever.

The hard-drive will also allow for games to load up almost instantaneously because it gives developers the option of streaming game data off the speedy drive. The hard-drive also allows you to save ripped music files so you can play them in the background during games that support the feature.

Finally, the hard-drive makes it possible for games to be updated with new levels, characters, missions, etc. after they are released. In short, the built-in hard-drive allows the Xbox to be a truly next-generation console by extending the


**Will I need a Memory Card?
11/09/2001

The memory card will allow you to transfer saved games between Xboxes. If you don't plan on transferring files from your Xbox onto other Xboxes, then the built-in hard-drive, which acts as a giant memory card, will do just fine. The memory card plugs into the back of the Xbox Controller when in use


**What's the Ethernet port for?
11/08/2001

The built-in Ethernet port the Xbox has serves one purpose: multi-player gaming, whether it be online or offline. For example, with a game like Halo, you can connect up to 4 Xboxes together to create a gaming network or, what PC gamers call it, a "lan". With this lan, up to sixteen player can play in various multiplayer gaming modes. Many other Xbox games include, or will include, the ability to network Xboxes together for multiplayer gaming.

The other purpose of the Ethernet port is for online gaming, what Microsoft believes will be the future of gaming. Since the Xbox does not have support for analog internet connections (28.8, 56k modems), you will be required to have a broadband connection (cable, dsl, isdn, etc.) if you want to play Xbox games online. You will be able to use your own ISP, but you will likely need an account with Microsoft to play Xbox games on their servers. Xbox Online is expected to be ready by early to mid-2002.


**How do other consoles compare to Xbox?
11/08/2001

In terms of sheer power, the Xbox has the edge over Sony's PS2 and Nintendo's Gamecube. However, a powerful console doesn't necessarily mean a successful one. Each console has unique abilities that sets it apart from the competition. Pushing polygons is one thing, but having compelling, high-quality games is what really matters. In this case, arguing over which console is the best is simply a matter of opinion. For a more detailed technical comparison between the consoles, go here.

**Will there be a Handheld "Xboy"?
11/08/2001

There have been rumors of Microsoft talking about creating a handheld gaming device in the future, but nothing concrete. If Microsoft does well with the Xbox, then an advanced handheld gaming unit, an "Xboy" perhaps, could become a reality. Here's a mock-up picture:

**Will there be an Xbox 2?
11/08/2001

There has been talk about an Xbox 2, but for the Xbox 2, or whatever it's called, to become a reality in the future, the Xbox has to be a success in the marketplace. Microsoft has stated that they are in this for the long haul and will do everything in their power to esnure the Xbox is a success. However, thinking too much about an Xbox 2 now will make your head hurt.

Lo que no dicen es si en Europa sera compatible RGB. Hdtv en Europa hay poco , por no decir que es inexistente comercialmente(se supone que el Standar de Sonido para ese sistema es el MPEG Multilink en Europa, y no comentan nada). Y las entradas de componentes las traen muy pocas teles, se suelen ver en grandes retroproyectores.

La portatil es como la Lynx.

¿Aún no ha salido la 1 y ya hablan de la 2?

Creo que para el Munch Odissey sí hace falta la tarjeta de memoria.

Un saludo
No...la HDTV en europa se rige con el cable RGB del tipo que ya os hable en un anterior hilo: es el Y+CR+CB...

Aqui en Europa las teles se rigen por el conector SCART o mas conocido como Euroconector, siendo que hay tres pines donde la salida es R, G, B...

Lo que pasa es que el standar americano es el Y +CR + CB con lo que no nos serviria en Europa, supongo que algun third party sacara el adaptador a Euroconector y entonces tendremos calidad RGB para las Teles Europeas...no hace falta tener ninguna HDTV para jugar con calidad RGB, solo necesitamos un cable Euroconector para ello.

Lo del Munch dudo mucho que haga falta una memoria ya que lo han dejado muy claro que no hace falta comprarse una Memory card para almacenar partidas, que para eso esta el disco duro...Solo sirve para portar tus partidas en otra Xbox...
