So the fukkin add on is "discless" meaning you put your 360 disc in the Durango and this "add on" gives you the ability to play it? :wtf:

But the mini version is still an Xbox 360. Did you not read the article?

The new smaller system is being redesigned to have more set top box functionality, its not just a small 360. That is mentioned in the MS taking over TV thread. MS can drop the live gold requirement all together the day that machine is released or take away the pay requirement for the small machine only.

I doubt this part VERY seriously if it's not being used for 360 BC. They gonna find a way to nickel/dime with that add on.

the thing i would worry about with the add on set top box is that if you are going to use it for streaming apps and shyt from the net from content providers (esp if this is MS way of replacing cable boxes), then the current limits we have in place from cable providers will be a big concern. I don't see cable providers liking this very much. All they'll do is railroad nikkaz with increased internet costs.

How is the Xbox 360 mini supposed to be competitive with Apple TV, Roku, and etc. when it comes to the causal non-gamers? You're not being charged to use apps & other features on a Roku or Apple TV.

this generation=/= next generation

this whole thing sounds janky and last minute, but it's better than what was being rumored (and defended by a now former MS employee and various fanboys and apologists like paul thurrott)

very strange events indeed, i sense some shenanigans, but not sure exactly what kind...:wtb:

Is Xbox live the same service for 360 as it was for the original Xbox?

Do you think PSN for the PS4 will be the same as PSN for the PS3?

There's some Playstation World shyt that is supposed to take the place of PSN. That's the rumor for now.
