Wake me, when you need me.

Other rumors say the console may tie your game purchases to your Xbox Live account, effectively locking out used games.

Not sure if want.

Shocking.

And the used game thing is a B.S. rumour. Nintendo's not doing it, Sony already called it a dumb idea. It just pisses people off and pisses retail off.

Wait so....with the next Playstation...do you think it'll be backwards compatible? If so...I may as well just wait for the next Playstation instead of getting a PS3.

My troll sense is tingling.

There is no way Microsoft would risk making a new games only system. Many retailers will flat out refuse to sell it, costing valuable income. It's too much for too little. That and if they were to announce it now, they would only have a year to hype it up.

That's hard to say. Initial models of the PS3 were capable of backwards compatibility but now they aren't and you have to download from a limited selection.

Trust me, if there is anytime to get into Playstation, it's now.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

This. There is no way that it would be a download-only console, as not only would the expanded hardrives cost more, retailers would not sell it as it would cause the retailers themselves to lose money.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if the console is released sometime next year.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Wasn't it already announced last year or this year that it was going to be pushed anyway?

Either way, not surprising.

No clue. Sony will tell some PR crap about making the PS3 better. The real reason they took out backwards compatibility was because they learned they could make money reselling PS2 games. There's a reason why they've been so aggressive with their remastered PS2 bundles.

They don't even need a full year. Announce it Q1 2013, show it off at E3, have a media blitz leading up to a November release.

Eh... I don't think it is.

Maybe mid-2014.

The writing is on the wall for Holiday 2013. Do you not find that window suspiciously empty? The frequently of "leaks" saying 2013 continues to increase. 360 sales are down year over year. We know developers working on next gen projects. All signs point to 2013.

Kind of want. I want cloud storage for nearly everything.

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

MS and Sony, IIRC, said that the lifespan of the 360 and PS3 is 10 years respectively, so I wouldn't count on a 2013 release of the 720 or the PS4 in this lifetime.

The 360 and PS3 will have 10 year life spans therefore the 720 and PS4 can't come out? You need to learn how to translate PR speak.

Critically look at what they're saying. Notice how there's no mention of next gen platforms? All they say is the 360 and PS3 will be supported for a long time. Basically translate this as "We won't say anything about next gen. Now go buy a 360 because we'll keep supporting it."

The same tactic has been used before. Dodge the question and reassure people on prospective purchases because if you say the next gen console is coming out too early people put off purchases.

My current Xbox is 4 and a half years old... I hope it can keep chugging along until then.

Was what I said a misrepresentation of what you said? You're not counting on the next gen console(s) coming out next year because PR people said so? Are you not?

That and multiple devs are getting pissy about this gen running on too long. I would be very surprised if we didn't see a new console hit next fall.
