X-Box 720

Post by **Leisher** » Wed Jan 25, 2012 2:03 pm

6 times as powerful as the 360.

If you haven't heard, the rumor is that all the next gen consoles will hit by Christmas of this year.

Throw in Windows 8, and it's going to be an interesting year for gaming. Speaking of W8, if its claimed features are true, releasing the 720 at the same time makes a lot of sense.

May not play used games.

Guess it'll be time to upgrade my PC to play games, and tell MS to fuck itself if that's true.

How come you say this Christmas, but the article says fall of next year? Which is it? Huh?

I have been avoiding used games for a while, assuming I would ultimately have DRM headaches when they require online activation.

I've been using a lot of used games. Most of my XBox 360 games are used, as a matter of fact.

Actually, part of Windows 8 is that your PC, tablet, phone, and X-Box are all going to get along really well...

Because rumors from other sources say all consoles could possibly hit this year.

Looks more and more like it's going to be true.

Microsoft has a history of simply not understanding gaming. That will continue.

I've owned just about every console that's ever come out. I cannot imagine a scenario where I buy an "always on" console.

That last answer is practically a lesson in customer interaction.

The wife says, "Our kid wants an XBox because that is what his friends have and he wants to play online with them."

I replied, "This is a Playstation house."

Not sure what you're laughing at, they do. This is not where Microsoft is failing.

Yeah. No bet. I've already said no twice, but I'm sure it will come up again.

I remember the days when there would be NO console in his house. His kid was going to have a 10 speed instead.

Tell me more.

Right now his kid has more consoles than I do.

And I bet no 10 speed.

Report: Xbox 720 powered by AMD x86 chip; means Xbox 360 discs will NOT be compatible.

Just saw this on a Game News site's feed.

No backwards compatibility.
Always On.

I wonder if the 720 will also randomly shout insults about your mother?

Seriously Microsoft, are you taking tips from EA? Way to hate on your loyal fan base.

I'm moving closer to calling Windows 8 an abominable failure.
