We noticed over at ActiveXbox there was a link to a new FAQ at the official support site for the Xbox. Among the interesting items were these:
Can the Xbox hook up to a Computer Monitor?
The Xbox video game system is intended for use with television sets. This focus allows gamers to enjoy the superior visual and sound capacity of high-definition and high-resolution television sets.
Can I play games on a network?
In the future, the broadband adapter will allow you to connect to online gaming sessions for multi-player gaming across the Internet.
Broadband capability is scheduled to go live in the summer of 2002. For more information, visit http://www.xbox.com.
Nothing here that is a real shock-- we've known for awhile that online support wouldn't be for awhile. However, the answer for the first question, while it doesn't come right out and say no , doesn't seem to say yes . It seems to be trying to say that televisions, or at least High Definition televisions, are superior to monitors, which is... interesting, to say the least. Maybe it's my eyes...
