"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
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.
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.
You can also use your Wii's composite cables to connect to an older TV if that's the issue (it was mine).

That guy who works for them and keeps leaking data is probably a huge unreliable douche.

It sounds like they're getting all big brother with the Kinect... I don't like the sound of that. Seriously? They'll block content if too many people are in the room watching a movie or something? That's retarded. It sounds like the Kinect and graphics are all it has going for it... and don't forget how they BS their presentations on products. Milo on the Kinect is disappoint. I'd like to know if the $60 a year is mandatory again... because if it is, fuck them...

This is pretty much the case for any new console that comes out within the next few years. Seriously, there is no point in releasing new hardware just for a slight upgrade in graphical fidelity. Freaking milk the shit out of current hardware and only make a new console when the market has evolved enough to warrant it.

See, that's the thing with me. I'm not sure that the "Xbox 720" even needs to be made. Beyond updated graphics and possibly a Blu-Ray version and the Kinect, what else is there to do?

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Am I the only one who feels this is starting to reek of a smear campaign? Because all this news seems to be coming from this one guy, who for all we know could be a disgruntled employee or even just a clever fanboy making an opposing console look bad.

Some of it sounds like something Microsoft to do, but frankly when it starts to sound like EA's first venture into hardware then I kinda start expecting a second point of reference.

The guy has provided true rumors in the past.


Well the Kinect is still a plus for me depending on how much better it is... the concept was always nice but the ads made it seem like something it wasn't, but still today we wish it was. I would be wary of their reveal whenever that is... they'll exagerate its performance.

Durango devkit leaks continue to suggest the usual bullshit - mandatory installs, kinect and constant internet connection. It does have one major plus though - the console no longer reads information from the disc ingame, you install it and play straight from the HDD, the disc presumably only useful thereon for reinstalls.

One step forward and two steps back, indeed. It's going to take a fucking amazing software lineup to make up for this shit - though the fact that the 360 is currently a port machine and has been for some time, isn't very promising.

FIVE HUNDRED US DOLLARS

The fuck Microsoft, are you trying to destroy your own userbase? All Sony has to do now is undercut its price point and it'll officially have Durango outclassed from every concievable angle.

This is hilarious. It'll have to grant wishes to get people to buy it at this point, if it's true.

Did we say the same about the PS3? I can't remember.

While the PS3 was overpriced (which didn't last that long), it was for a very good reason; Blu-Fucking-Ray. This piece of crap has no revolutionary technology on par with that to be worth a pricing of TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS more than that. No one but the most die hard and filthy rich is going to buy this, this thing is going to be about as popular as the Vita is right now.
