Deadmon Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 First lemme start by saying Xbox sucks. Deal with it.Aside from that IM sure there are plenty of people that are interested in this information so I figured id share.1: the Xbox 720 chipset is already in production, expect a release next year by most estimates.2: The 720 is reportedly not going to be using a disc drive -at all- and instead will have a SD-like card for transferring and storing information. (perhaps actual SD, but more likely a specific microsoft/Xbox type of card)3: the specs should top PS3's specs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Furlough Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I really hope I'm still able to get physical copies of games.The cloud is nice but there's no replacement for physical copies :U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmon Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Some people think itll be sorta like the old cartridges with this new SD-esque system. I think that would be weird when Blue ray are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Furlough Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 If they opt for discs I'd love it if they made it where accidentally knocking over your xbox doesn't cause it to chew the disc :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Solid state memory makes sense considering the cost these days. If I can buy a 16GB thumb drive for $10, I imagine it's just as feasible. Although the lack of a drive would prevent it from being a DVD/Blu-ray player.

Krow Ames Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 The SD card thing could be fine if you can still rent and purchase physical copies.All glory to the PC gaming master race. We pioneered the digital storefront with Steam.And uhhh. I dunno. If they go entirely steam-like, that's more money for them via xbox live game sales, but... A lot of game retailers will be losing out.Edit: I can get a blu-ray player at wal-mart for like 50 bucks, now. And with xbox live having that deal going with Netflix, it's not a huge deal.

Cyphre Iredell Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Netflix on all consoles, actually. I highly doubt they'll attempt to go entirely without a physical copy of some kind. Half the point being that some kid can just buy games himself without all the online credit card BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
