The new Xbox will probably cost somewhere in the neighborhood for $350. This is what you can get for $350....and this can play any game to date just saying.

This would be awesome if Microsoft made this....but they won't. The sad realization is that Microsoft will most likely make something half to three times less powerful than this and charge the same price.

What do you think the new Xbox will consist of?

Why do they always feel the need to overprice everything?

Life will always find a new way to ruin everything you know, enjoy the moments of peace to their fullest and prepare yourself for the lemons that are heading your way and you might just make it.

I really don't see why people are complaining... console exclusive games this gen have been some of the best looking games to date. There was no other game back in 06 that rivaled Gears of War graphically, none.

PC = no splitscreen

No for me.

You realize most consoles(especially when they are young in their life cycle) are more expensive to produce then they make from the sale, the real money is in the games.

What about a graphics card?

Sure, you can buy a PC for cheaper, but a console will play any and all games released for it, while a PC may require upgrades.

PC > Smaller initial investment, cost goes up over time
Console > Larger initial investment, but no further money is required

People actually think 350$ is too much?

You have been sent a warning from x Foman123 x. This warning's text is below:
Incomprehensible gibberish.

I find it hilarious how PC gamers constantly need to tell others that they could have "Bet hurr grafixx". You guys need to understand is that friends play with me on consoles. Along with that, the graphics for consiles are NOT bad. Just look at Halo 4. It looks just as good as any of the recent releases on pc but it's being run on a 7 year old machine.

OT:I expect a nicer looking dashboard. I'm also expecting evdrything to run smoothly. (Start up an app in less than 5 seconds.)

It happens to us all.

That will not "play any PC game to date". It's missing a GPU, and with one, would hardly run games 2-3 years old. Not to metion, it's micro-ATX, so you'd need a bigger case and a new power supply.

Hopefully the Xbox will be better than the PS3 hardware and software wise

So is that all the parts you need for a PC?

I might get one myself.

I'd also like to be able to play games that come out... my PC gamer friend still hasn't played Red Dead Redemption because it never came to PC, sucks for him...

"Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive"

it's already on par with the 360 even though the ps3 came out A FULL YEAR LATER pretty embarassing for the ps3 if you think about it.

No for me.


You do know that splitscreen has been slowly phased out from everywhere for a while now? M$ would rather you but two xboxes, two golds and two copies of the same game, then have you play splitscreen.

I am alpha, i am omega.

I am the last of the primes.

Op needs to take a business class or 2.

1. I highly doubt the 720 will cost $350, I'm thinking $450-550.

2. Microsoft will buy all their -blam!- in bulk with no packaging or any other piece of -blam!-, this will reduce costs by a lot.

3. They will also take a loss on each console sold, but make money back over time with games, xbl and other -blam!- for your Xbox 720, until the parts for the 720 become cheaper allowing them to make large profits as they are doing so now.

4. They won't just pick and choose from a goody bag at Newegg, they will have custom chip sets and pieces that should be more beefed up compared to their PC counter parts.
