Xbox 2 will -most likely-, and dont hold me to it, be shown at E3 2005...
The Xbox 2 is going to be released nearer the end of the year...
There will be 3 different versions of the Xenon.
Xenon - Basic xbox 2 with no hard drive
Xenon HD - Basic xbox 2 with hard drive
and Xenon PC - Basically a fully functional pc able to burn cd's/has a dvd player(obviously), hard drive, operating system and everything.. In fact, it will also be able to play -most- pc games.
Hope that cleared up a couple of questions, as for speculated price.. I had it somewhere.. *looks around again*
EDIT - Found a bit of info..
Quote: "We think Microsoft will price its next generation system at or above $300 for the base model," wrote Gikas. "We also think there will be a model that includes accessories or network devices that could price as high as $350-$400/system." "
That taken from..

I'm rather stunned that it's an article from january 2005.. Gamedev already announced that there would be 3 different types of xbox's(as listed and described above)... So i'm a little bit interested in why they say they -think- there will be a model that includes the accessories/network devices.. When there definately will be the different versions.
