Microsoft preparing for a New Xbox 360, designed for use of Windows 8

[RANMAN10]

I was going to post this in the 'Gaming News' panel, but it wouldn't let me. So sorry if this is in the wrong place :/

 

Below I have listed what I have found about the new Xbox 360, and will continue to update it if I learn any more information:

 

The first is from winrumors.com, was posted on Nov. 22nd, and has quots from Microsoft's Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter: Article

 

Another was posted on Oct. 20th and is from Xbox.IGN.com: Article

 

The last I've found is from Gamespot.com and was posted on November 9th with sources fromThe Windows Weekly Podcast: Article

 

I don't know how I feel about having to buy another console, if it's worth it, and if it will be a good change or not, but hope it's a change for the better rather than a change that people don't want. Just thought I'd share my find with everyone. Thanks, @RANMAN10

So pumped for this, if it really is true, i will get one.

 

 

maybe when they first come out, look at what happened to some of the people who got a 360 when it first came out.....

Nice work RANMAN. Very good post and I too am looking forward to the new box.

 

 

Oh and by the way....stay away from my font! lol

[Tommy]

Are there any pictures of it yet? Like concepts and whatnot?

[RANMAN10]

Didn't find any news on concepts or anything, I hear they're still in "early preparations" for the new Box.

[RANMAN10]

Nice work RANMAN. Very good post and I too am looking forward to the new box.

Whado you mean you'll be watching me?

[Absolute Dog]

Whado you mean you'll be watching me?

You are kidding....right? You did watch the link in my post.....right? You have to accept mine and others humor : ) ! Maybe if you don't get the meaning......look at how it was possibly meant to be funny. Don't go gettin' all Kojak on me now! LMAO!!!!!

[Choot 'em]

Very good *cough* reporting *cough* RANMAN!! Very informative and properly structured with an excellent use of source linking!!

To answer your question about the issue with the "Gaming News" section, only Moderator's and members in the news group have permissions to post a topic there (I think), unless "moved" there by a mod.

As far as the new console goes, if released, I will buy if I believe the options are worth it! I passed on the 360 slim because I had not too long purchased an Elite system with the Jasper chipset (have had no issues). This could also just be research data for the next XBOX. Anxious to see where this leads!

Glad to see more members getting involved!! "I like the way you think", LOL!! :unworthy:

[RANMAN10]

Loll, I was joking when I said that @Absolute Dog, SO TAKE MY HUMOR! XDDD

[AgentLoFi]

I myself wouldn't be jumping on that bandwagon right away unless the features it added were that drastically different that I had to have it, otherwise the box I have now is just fine and depending on when it's released, I might just wait for the next gen at that point.

[RANMAN10]

The big thing that it can do, is that since its Windows 8 compatible, someone with a Windows 8 phone, a Windows 8 PC, and the new Xbox, can all play a Windows 8 game together. This will revolutionize gaming. I've been thinking about doing that and wished someone would do it since I was literally like 12. ...loll.

[SuperIntendant]

They just released a new version of the xbox 360 a year ago. Why are they making another one?

[RANMAN10]

Because it's comparable with Windows 8, and they know people who are obsessed with Xbox wil buy one, loll

[Doc/O'Malley]

I cant wait for the Star wars R2 D2 xbox

[RANMAN10]

What if... with the new Xbox... YOU COULD BE HIM

[Spitfire]

I just found out that the Next Xbox will be announced at CES 2012!

[RANMAN10]

CES?

[Spitfire]

I just found out some more info/rumors, the next Xbox is rumored to be cheaper than the Xbox 360 (original release cost), the Xbox 720 is also rumored to be released at the end of this year and CES 2012 is on the 10th to the 13th.

[RANMAN10]

I honestly don't believe the whole Xbox 720 idea.. that's been going around for ages, loll

[Itz JoshE]

My original 360 is breaking down, should i get the slim or should i wait?

[RANMAN10]

If it breaks then buy a slim. Wait as long as possible and then if the new Box isn't out then buy a Slim.

[Choot 'em]

My original 360 is breaking down, should i get the slim or should i wait?

Depending on the amount of usage. If you plan on getting a significant amount of playtime in, buy a new slim. If you plan on little to moderate playtime, buy refurbished. If you don't plan on playing at all, don't purchase either, wait for the new xbox.
