I haven't heard much on this development.

Does anybody have any information on this?

[3002-3038]

may or may not use blu-ray
may or may not have a new advanced version of kinect
may or may not support original xbox games
may or may not have new controllers that incorporate a wireless charging pad system like the powerpad
so that when you're done playing you can just set your controller atop the console and it will charge
may or may not support 3D gaming support
may or may not have developed a processor similar to the PS3's 8-core processor
may or may not have wireless capability built in.

may or may not have other things

[Goldar]

It will be a spacecraft.

[EternalCorpseGod]

Ugh I hate uncertainty.

Well, any rumors that are at least a little certain?

[EternalCorpseGod]

Yea, I highly doubt that.

Microsoft isn't that state-of-the-art.

[Meilag32]

It's not going to be called the Xbox 720, for one. 

The only reason they came up with "Xbox 360" is because Microsoft was worried that if consumers saw one console called "Playstation 3" and another called "Xbox 2" they would assume the Xbox to be the worse console.  So they went with 360 to put themselves on par with the PS3, number wise. 

[EvilsergE]

Wow....

Mind = blown

[EternalCorpseGod]

Ah. Crafty decision making.

Then what are they going to call it?

Space-crafty.

[rumbatubbies-ok]

it's going to be called the "Xbox 420"

[DoseOfLaughter]

Basically, you'll have to jam it up your ass and then it'll connect to your nervous system and then throw you into the matrix.

[my-name-here]

i don't know what they will call it, but i'm really sick of everyone calling it the xbox 720 or the next box... those names are both stupid, and were just pulled out of some guys ass, microsoft hasn't said anything about a name for it, ever.

[molarbear]

I hear a rumored name for it is "Dreamcast 2"

just grapevine rumors probably

[Kakashi_Sensei18]

Well there is the whole thing where it probably won't support used games.

Two devs have spoken up about it, one for and one against.

IIRC a Saint's Row dev was for it, a Halo dev was against it.

[EternalCorpseGod]

Why would you do that?

Unecessary.

The most logical place for a mindjack is in the back of the neck where the central nervous system is located.

[EternalCorpseGod]

I just call it that because I haven't heard it called anything else.

Does Xbox 3 suit your tastes more?

[EternalCorpseGod]

The Halo dev was against it?

Why would they be against backward compatibility?

Not backwards compatibility.  He's talking about the announcement that said the next Xbox might have protection against used games (i.e. the ones you rent, or the ones you buy used from the store).  This means Microsoft might force people to buy only new games.  It's pretty big news. 

[rumbatubbies-ok]

speaking of which, Mindjack was the best game of 2011.

[EternalCorpseGod]

I never played it. Is it any good?

[EternalCorpseGod]

Oh that is rediculous.

Just a way to get more money.

Greedy....

I'm not saying there isn't some issues with video game piracy or people deciding to rent games instead of buying them.  But this approach is pretty extreme and is stepping on a lot of toes. 

[EternalCorpseGod]

It is undercutting the rental and used game companies.

Yea, it is going to cause some problems.

[Blah_canbespanish]

How much do you think the kung-fu program will cost?

[EternalCorpseGod]

About 25 Credits. lol
