nextXbox will play Xbox360 games, but only if you own something called Xbox Mini

most likely

I would rather there be an optional device that costs extra than to have BC in all xboxes and raising the price of the console for everyone.mems_1224

id rather have an option to rebuy my games on a streaming service which would cost me 1500, rather than buy an xbox mini for 99.     TLHBO

TLHBO?

So it's the 32Xbox?lowe0

It has no disc drive because its a set top box. I assume it streams the 360 games to the 720 which is a nice feature, but its not an add-on.RR360DD

It's more likely that the 360 Mini has the 360 hardware inside it (power PC processor, Xenos) and that the 720 acts as a media drive.

It's no worse then basiclly having to buy a bigger hard drive if you own a wii-u.

the mini will be able to download and play xbox 360 games by itself.  It does not need the 720 to function.  If you buy that you have a basically more advanced roku box that capable of playing 360 games. Its secondary function is that it will let your 720 play 360 games if the two are connected.  Two seperate products that work together.  Its like having an ipad and an apple tv.  Two seperte products that function seperately but can work with each other by design.  

I know which is why i said the 720 will act as a media drive (disc drive) considering the Xbox Mini won't have one.

lol and the lemmings will bend over as usual and thank MS for the privilege.

'They bend over, take the 2x4 up the butt and say "thanks I needed that, wow I didn't realise how much I needed that". Then they go around acting like it is a good thing and want more. :lol:

[QUOTE="I_can_haz"]Sounds terrible. Aren't you just better off keeping your old 360? :lol: @ the lemmings praising this.Mr720fan

lol at you at the failing damage control, actually I will sell my 360 to Gamestop, use the credit to buy the xbox mini, probably end up costing me about 50 dollars and I have my entire library of 360 games, which is about 58 games. Can you do that on the PS4? Yeah but you would have to buy every game from gataki streaming service, so for you with 58 ps3 games it costs you what 1000 bucks? for me 50? Yeah keep on crying pathetic cow. lol at you trying so hard.

You sound mad.

Hmm, will mah 360 slim still play 360 games ? Yes, saweet, just chekin. :twisted:

Anyway, this route is for those who never bought a 360 or just want the convenience of having a sorta all in one - good options are good. :P

You provide a good example. If Sony announced that a hardware add-on would be needed to make the PS4 backward compatible, lemming would react strngly in the negative and make fun of the cows.

However when MS do it, the lemmings suddenly believe it is a fantastic idea, well over due and cost is no object.

Console fanbois of any faction are a sales person dream, no matter how much MS or Sony screw you guys over you continue to justify it and beg for more.

Are people still not getting how this works. The Xbox mini is just for the people for whom "Durango" (or what ever it's official name will be) is their first MS console. The mini is their means (an option) to get backwards compatibility if they want to catch up.

For those who already have the 360 they can just buy Durango by itself and play 360 games on their existing 360. Or if you just don't care about previous generation games, Durango will meet that players current gen gaming requirements.

Too complicated? :| And let's not forget, PS4 doesn't have built in BC either, you need an external service for that.

lol, if you already own a 360 why would you rebuy a mini one just to play it on 720? 

You are fully entitled to have low standards, low expectation and tomake poor consumer decisions.

 

However don't get upset when others point it out.

tenaka2

System Wars stupidity never ceases to amaze.

There is no add-on. The GBA player for the Gamecube is an add-on. This is a set top box that is completely independant to the 720.

If you don't want a set top box, then don't buy it. Its for people who do want a set top box. And like many set-top boxes that have many different multimedia capabilities, this one has the advantage of having the Xbox 360s backlog.

The rumour isn't that hard to understand.

lmao , terrible.

Exactly. The Xbox Mini is for people who don't already have a 360 and want to still play last gen games.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="SecretPolice"]Three 360's in the family with one a launch console and yet none got the RRoD :shock: but I'm a truth teller so I'll tell ya I did have a CPU prob with my April 2006 20 gig that I had to send in to get fixed. :Pdelta3074

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="kuraimen"] Doesn't change the fact that 60% failure rate.kuraimen

60% LOL thats totally illegal, and they'd be forced to recall every console. You're talking out your ass, and everyone knows it so please stop.

[QUOTE="I_can_haz"]Sounds terrible. Aren't you just better off keeping your old 360? :lol: @ the lemmings praising this.Wickerman777

That's what I would do. But I don't think it's targeted at people that already have 360 but rather to new customers that might consider getting both. Doesn't seem like a bad idea to me.

Lol Lemmings, have you lost all reason?

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="delta3074"]don't just pull percentages out of your backside, there are NO official fgures of how high the failure rate Was and even then, it only applied till the Jasper model 360 and the new 360 S is just as reliable as the Ps3 slim, it's a sign of deperation when you start putting out unproven figures.RR360DD

I'm honestly starting to think people here are just stupid.  I'm just gonna leave this place for good.  It is not hard to understand that this set up box is not about BC but about microsoft creating a product that competes with other internet streaming devices like the roku, boxee or apple tv.  One of this streaming device's function is that it will let you play your 360 games on your durango if that is what you choose to do.  But the primary function is that it is an internet streaming device and most people who buy it will probably buy it as just that because it kick roku, boxee, and apple tv's ass.  It really isn't a hard concept people.
