Choze Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/977/977287p1.html Microsoft is gearing up for a big presence at E3 which will completely transform how people think about home entertainment. Sounds like a new console. Reminds me of the language Nintendo used for Revolution. also rumours regarding big announcements aimed at hardcore? MGS4? We know there are a ton of games not shown yet. Splinter Cell to Alan Wake for example. edit: Sounds like Live is headed to Windows Mobile and Zune. Edited April 29, 2009 by Choze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Or Mircosoft version of HOME. Yeah but they are late with that. Hardly refining entertainment. Which is broader than just games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 How about a console that doesn't look like a cheap piece of crap and doesn't sound like Armageddon. Would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 How about a console that doesn't look like a cheap piece of crap and doesn't sound like Armageddon. Would be a start. They were never aiming for quality though. Its about low sticker prices. Plus most will not do much research for a games console compared to a pair of jeans. Xbox 720 will have alot of PS3 features no doubt. Blu Ray , HDD etc. But MS could go the core/arcade route again and keep costs low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Are you high? Xbox 720 is not going to be revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Are you high? Xbox 720 is not going to be revealed. This. What with the NXE only just coming out and new revisions of the 360 still in production, the 360 is nowhere near the end of its' lifespan just yet.

Black Diamond Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 A wild speculation, but I say it'll be the ability to gain experience points from watching and listening to certain movies/music on the system. It'll change "how people think" as now when you rent/buy a DVD, instead of just judging how good the film is, people will judge how many experience points they'll earn by watching it. Also, I predict they'll announce a "Blu-ray on Xbox" add-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The 360 still has 3 or 4 years left in it. Even compared to PC's its still very powerful, not to mention games are still coming out that are pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in terms of the graphics. Buh yeah, that achievements for movies thing is a terrible idea. Achievement points will just become so easy to get then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'd be utterly amazed if an Xbox 720 were revealed, doubt we'll see that for a good few years yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 360Lite, redesigned with downloadable media and games very much at the forefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit-Jr Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) yeah id be pissed if new hardware from any company were announced this year or even next year. But yeah, transforming how i think about home entertainment? At the very least, im curious. A wild guess: Microsoft buys out Netflix and/or Onlive and conquers the world (excluding Japan) Edited April 29, 2009 by Pit-Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 It won't happen, maybe they will be releasing a handheld? - still very unlikely and wouldn't make good business sense atm - or maybe they will reveal some kind of 'me too' motion control device :/ tbh I'm not hopefull and I just hope it's something good and none of the above. Tbh I would be happy if they had managed to redesign the Xbox 360 so that it's reliable enough to last more than 3 - 5 years without breaking... this also won't happen so *shrugs* Idk... I just hope it's something good lol. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimless Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 No one's enough of an idiot to launch a more powerful machine any time soon; companies are going under all the time due to the high production values of the current generation, so there would be bugger all support for a machine that's even riskier to develop for and has a userbase starting from scratch all over again. That said, I think it's well past time Microsoft released a redesigned 360. Design the case for the living room rather than the bedroom, make the machine quieter, and above all make sure any hardware faults are a rarity as opposed to a question of "when, not if" and I'd probably buy one just for peace of mind. Oh, and make sure it has built-in wireless, an idiot proof guide to getting online and some complimentary MS points, as I'm pretty sure that Live is where the 360 makes most of its money and right now a lot of people aren't even signed up. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the PR natterings in the first post are referring to 1 vs. 100 and whatever Live 'boadcasts' Microsoft might be working on. I'm hoping they're going to be showing some new exclusive games too, of course, but changing "how people think about home entertainment" is going to be getting your mum playing bingo or Deal Or No Deal online with other Avatars aiming to win real prizes, not unveiling Bungie's next game or the like.

Choze Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Xbox Live for Windows Mobile and Zune. This is inevitable. e3 is the perfect event for an announcement. All the pawns are already in place. Symbian have N-Gage by Nokia and they have spoken about MS/Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten10 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 If 720 were revealed it would only do them more damage than good, as prospective buyers like myself would hold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I also think it will be a handheld. They will announce 720 or whatever (they'll probably go for a Wii-like name) 2 years before game production stops for 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Sounds like slim 360 is quite possible. Also another interesting find about rumours regarding a higher mode 360 for the same games except you can set better graphics much like a better pc vs old. Interesting.

Shorty Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I would be surprised by a slim 360. They still can't make a big one that doesn't die all the time, they're not really ready to start compacting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
