Considering how big everything is getting, that would be the most legitimate upgrade. Thing is, I don't see why a firmware upgrade can't just give you access to switch out your HDD for a bigger one. |

Digital purchases might be a pretty big thing right now, but the problem is that the success of it depends largely on location - by abandoning hard copies entirely, you're essentially abandoning people entirely who have slow or no internet connections, who still make up a reasonable part of a console manufacturer's profit. And if it's anything like their sales strategy this current gen, they'll be selling their hardware at a loss and intending to make up for it with software sales, which doesn't leave them much room for error when there's the possibility of a shitton of players essentially boycotting the thing on account of not being able to play it very well. That said, this little tidbit caught my attention:
It kinda begs the question... would it be feasible to run a gaming system entirely off SD cards? Quick price checking tells me you can get an SD card roughly the size of a DVD for about five bucks, dunno how that compares to most DVD costs. But if nothing else, it'd absolutely butcher buffering and loading times that hang around most disc-based systems like a fucking plauge, and for that I honestly would not complain one bit. |

This is probably only vaguely related to the ongoing rumours of the "Durango," but as a result of a recent court dispute settled in Microsoft's favour, Microsoft now owns the domain names for what is simply "Xbox 8". |

Who the hell is in charge of counting at MS? What happened to Xboxes 1-7 and 9-359? |

[brains Keiji with his cane.] I'm going to assume the 8 has something to do with ∞. Edited by Arem, Jul 4 2012, 01:07 AM.

The rumours continue. If this is true, I won't be touching the next Xbox. |

Yep, pretty much. Never thought I'd say it but I might actually be taking a Sony offering next time around if this keeps up, because on top of the possibility of incredibly asinine DRM bullshit their first party support lately has been honestly pathetic. All they have to announce now is that Live will still be a paid subscription and I'm fuckin' outta here. Who wants to take bets as to how long it takes before pirates jailbreak it? Last I checked Ass Creed 2 is still the longest record holder at one week. Seeing them un-fuck an entire console should be interesting. |

"Turn 720 degrees" I don't really play console games these days anyway though, while the Wii U is still a little tempting I don't have a TV to stick it to |

Haha, yeah that sucks. But who knows... there's a chance the PS4 will do it too if you think about it... or go only digital. Either way I'm going Sony unless the 360 delivers something new I can't do without. |

As long as your comp has an HDMI port, couldn't you just use that as a screen? Not that I've tried personally, I'm genuinely curious as to whether that would work. |

It will, my sister has her 360 hooked up to one of her PC monitors. |

I can confirm this. It was how I played with my slim 360 before it got stolen. The only concern is with sound: unless you have speakers built into the monitor, you may have to buy seperate speakers. |

Anything with an hdmi input can be used with consoles.

That's good to know I suppose, though I'm still not inclined to shell out on a console any time in the near future it might come in handy later |
