February 18, 201214 yr For the past couple of months a lot of details have been leaked about the supposed Xbox 720. 1. Blu ray drive 2. 6x more powerful than the current Xbox 3. No used games allowed. Would have to go to ign.com to read about that more. 4. Would have something similar to a tablet controller. I can not wait for this to become a reality, the console is what I'm talking about. I doubt it'll be unveiled at E3 this year but we will no more by the end of the year I'm sure. Right now they are figuring a holiday 2013 launch.
February 18, 201214 yr I've heard they want to get 5 more years out of the 360. I hope so. It'll save me $400 next year.
February 18, 201214 yr I hope so. It'll save me $400 next year. The article I read said because the ps3 still hasn't reached its potential Xbox doesn't want to put a system out too soon and show its hand.
February 18, 201214 yr 3. No used games allowed. I don't like that. Most of my games are used. I just haven't got to to point that I will pay $60 for a game yet.
February 18, 201214 yr I don't like that. Most of my games are used. I just haven't got to to point that I will pay $60 for a game yet. Same here, I'm sure the price of a game will rise as well.
February 18, 201214 yr I'm not sure what you mean by no used games allowed, unless your trying to say it won't be backwards compatable with the 360.
February 18, 201214 yr I'm fairly certain I read that they expected Halo 4 would come out on current generation hardware and then subsequent releases would be on the next gen hardware. Halo 4 is slated for release during the 2012 holiday season, so I'd have to think we get at least another 2 years of the 360, since I don't think they would turn around and abandon the system right away after releasing one of their flagship titles.

February 20, 201214 yr here you go. http://m.ign.com/articles/1217257 That's dumb. I wouldn't be getting one of those.
February 20, 201214 yr Unless Sony and Nintendo plan to implement the same type of technology, looks like Microsoft might be the big loser in the next generation console wars.
February 20, 201214 yr Really that technology is similar to what a lot of the games are already doing. EA Sports has done it with a lot of their games where it comes with an online access code when you buy it brand new. If you buy it used some where then you have to buy an access code seperately to be able to play the game online.
February 20, 201214 yr Unless Sony and Nintendo plan to implement the same type of technology, looks like Microsoft might be the big loser in the next generation console wars. I think ultimately they'll back down from this, but make no mistake, all of the manufacturers and software programmers are looking at ways to limit the used game market's impact.
February 20, 201214 yr Will you be able to play old Xbox games on it? That's drives me crazy when a new system comes out.
