Xbox 720 = $500, always connected, no BC

[*Hulks Up*]

Well if you don't believe the hype lookup Microsft Webtv product which was a settop box which required subscription and internet for the box to function, I remember M$ wanted Webtv to function games with cable interactive tv and make it a Media hub with internet browsering, Yes Webtv was built it did indeed use the dream but never became a game machine, Then Xbox was born it was all a full gaming console but had no media box abilitys, so 360 was built it did make part of the dream come alive with its Media and Internet abilitys inside a game machine. So M$ thought they dream of Webtv came be remade this time as the new Xbox 720 which is Webtv with interactive Cable and Media features and Windows 8 running all on the machine. It is a PC/Cable Box in a Game Machine.. but with the heart of what started it all like its father Webtv it needs a network and subscription to function. This is no rumor if u studyed the history of M$ u would know they always wanted to control your living n room not your kids bedrooms. Yes Webtv 720 and I knew this info way before thats why I been telling people Sony has this . Face it. Started from the bottom now we here. Dont believe me but I been in this game along time. U can get the Settop 720 if u want its features and games and deal with always using it if u have internet and when u lose subscription or internet just like webtv was the Box is useless to u .. but u can sell it to someome else. I have the info and im not bias but I will tell u facts M$ dream isnt a game machine its always been a Media Box. Always ... Get it? .... P.s sorry for bad typos im on my mobile device on vacation kudos

I love the WebTV comparison, mostly because I had one. But I agree with your overall point, MS definitely wants a meda box more than they want a game console. I was wondering exactly what all they had planned for a always on connection, I know it has more to do with just playing games. I know somehow the 720 will monitor things in the background.

Yup.

Glad that Sony recognized they need to focus back on gamers and they are doing it in a big way with DatQuad.

this nikka meach is hardcore. i mean damn, save that shyt for a female or something b/c you in here suckling @ M$ teet so hard its chafing. give it a rest man....

The Ps3 heads in here doing the same thing to be fair.

This is why at 23 I don't play video games any more, it's too much. A nikka gotta always be online, and pay monthly? Sometimes I just want to dumb out for 30 minutes and play a game and now it's looking like I can't do that.

Thats Avi berri in your avi ain't it? Man that ass is dumb fat

You making too much sense here.

Ps4 is always online, not backwards compatable, and "no used games" will be decided by the publishers.

I'm pretty certain Sony released a statement that the PS4 wouldn't require an always online connection. Oddly enough Sony did give one of the best reasons to have an always online connection with their new feature of game updating and patching being done in the background while gaming.
The no BC thing while not a deal breaker for me should be there, the no used game thing I still need to read up on.

The only statement that Microsoft has released explains "always on" the same way.

“Durango will implement different power states so that it can always be powered on, but will draw minimal electricity when not in use,” the document reads. “The console will be ready instantly when users want to play, and will always maintain a network connection so that console software and games are always current. With this “Always On, Always Connected” design, users will quickly and easily enjoy their connected entertainment experiences, with no waiting for the console to restart or install games.

In fact the way this speaks of users being able to quickly and easily enjoy their "connected entertainment experiences" implies that there will be non-connected entertainment experiences available as well.

Yeah but what's the point if it's not games. Isn't that why we buy a console? The same shyt that cats shytted on the PS3 for? If you can't play the games you bought without being connected online, what's the point?

Who said it wouldn't be games? In fact that's the only thing it could be because all apps need a connection to function anyway.

meach, this is a console, not black women. you dont have to

Hopefully that's the case. Because if not....


Like Buddy said about WebTV (my father had one of those garbage shyts), it's all part of MS plan so requiring online, while dumb as can be to function, is something they're willing to sacrifice.

No shyt bruh, just talking the principle of bringing that element to a video game console..
