you could jsut go out and get a blu ray drive for your PC hook it up to your HDtv then run the bluray from your PC to your HD tv. Boom 80 bucks no need to spend 300 dollars on a slow blu-ray player and no need to spend it on another console.

Ive said this alot, and tbh i dont think there a point to a new console in the next 2 years. Bluray may be added as a side device but i don't see it as a need for the games. i dont mind changin dvds on some games

Upgrading to Blueray got nothing to do with HD gaming. Honestly though, 360 graphics already look out dated to me personally, I can't wait for the next generation of console. Yes I do realize better graphics = higher development cost = less new ip/less content/longer development time etc. but I still want it :Psalxis

Funny how you think that this generation has already dated its graphic capacity. What do you want games to look like? Television? What's the point?

I really think its funny that you actually want game developers to have to put more cost on their games, make them smaller, and take longer to make them. I think you're going to be one unhappy person once that happens.

Sure, an upgraded Xbox could have a faster processor, more memory, newest generation graphics card with DirectX11 and Shader 5.0 and my favorite - a more precise control. And be quieter. And have bluray. And DTS-decoder. And bigger storage. And a port for toslink optical cable.

But since Microsoft won't implement those features anytime soon I won't actually miss them.

I still like the graphics of this gen but would like all games to run 60fps or higher all the time. I would like a new xbox but do not feel like spending the money at the moment. Once graphic technology gets cheaper and more advanced in a few years I would be for a purchase but it would have to blow the current gen concoles away.

Future of xbox is already here end of year,,Project Natal will carry the box for the next five years..My guess is this..The 720 will be downloadable games..You want a game you buy it off xbox just like steam...It will help pirating in a tiny way not a lot..Youl have to buy it with credit cards like steam..Perhaps larger hard drives are the future...If you think not look at the steam sales for pc games..Id rather have it on my xbox instead of disks any how..I love the new xbox live games you can download..Got mass effect an bioshock once again after i traded them in..Its the future so is natal..

I would prefer that they just kept working on the 360...I've never been more comfortable with a console than the xbox.

360 graphics look outdated? are you kidding me? have you seen bad company 2 and assassins creed 2? not all games look like that but its still capable of that so until all games look as brilliant as they do then we dont need to move away from it. i try not to take it for granted, i sometimes just stare at assassins creed 2 and go WOW!

[QUOTE="Wakanoid"]Who gets the idea that its called the xbox 720... It's obviously called the Xbox Evolution :Porb_03_2006

They had another name for the 360 but went againts it..Your right though they should call it some thing else..

So you want Microsoft to pull a Sega and add an attachment to their system to play games on a new disc format. All I can say is I really hope Microsoft doesn't listen to you.Agent_Kaliaver

If you havent heard the attachments on the way..Project natal..

If you want a blue ray player, buy a ps3

Yeah, cause PS3 games are so much more expensive than 360 games:roll:

That doesn't even begin to compare to the Sega CD. Natal isn't introducin a new format, just a new way to play.

shut up with Blu-ray man

Blue Ray player is not essenial for games, there are stories of Sony looking into a new disc format that holds more memory than blue ray for PS4. I don't think blue ray willl ever be fully adopted, internet was is too big and movies and games hopefully will go the way of music,things like MP3 players. Hopefully they will make something similar to what mp3 players have where you can buy a songs(or movie,games)in stores and you will have to bring a thumb drive or something. 360 is also HD already, graphics on PC have not improved so vastly over the 360 yet that it warrants a new xbox. I would like built in wifi,blue ray player and free online service, but those really don't affect the gaming experience. wifi can mess things up with games, free online service ends up giving you what you paid for, but I'd still like that.

The 360 hardware is pretty outdated now, they can still work the processor a bit but the RAM and Graphics Card cant really pull that many more tricks out the bag sadly. I hope to see a new Xbox in a year or two, but honeslty I love the Xbox 360 now and the graphics still look great so who cares :PV4LENT1NE

1. The Xbox 360 can do full HD without Blu-Ray

2. PS3 has add-ons, demos, movies, and features like Netflix and Facebook

3. All 360 games run at at least 720p.

4. Learn proper grammar.

Every hardware expansion ever for a console has failed. I think we'll see more games come on 2 DVDs, as Mass Effect 2 does. Obviously there is a need for a new system, eventually... maybe Microsoft can get about 2 more years out of the 360. It certainly does produce some impressive graphics and has robbed the Playstation brand of its spot as the standard video gaming system. Sony is banking on the PS3 going very strong in the latter half of its life cycle. I think PS3's success or failure in this phase of its lifespan will depend on how willing developers are to cater their software to the 7 core cell processor - apparently, a lot of third party developers are still not really putting in that effort. Then again, I've never seen any of Sony's first party titles in person for PS3.

My hope for the "720" is that itwill betotally backward compatible and have more RAM than you would expect out of a console. I know these consoles don't have to run an OS in the background, but RAM is not terribly expensive these days - and both the PS3 and 360 only have 512 MB, total.

MS would totally be sitting financially pretty if it hadn't been for that RROD - the 360 is quite obviously cheaper to produce than the PS3. It also has a higher software attachment rate than the PS3, unless PS3 has caught up in software sales since I last looked at them.

Upgrading to Blueray got nothing to do with HD gaming. Honestly though, 360 graphics already look out dated to me personally, I can't wait for the next generation of console. Yes I do realize better graphics = higher development cost = less new ip/less content/longer development time etc. but I still want it :Psalxis

Personally, I think that an Xbox 720 is inevitable. Most game systems seem to be good for 5 years or so before getting replaced with a new one. It has happened many times before (i.e., the NES era to the SNES/Genesis era, Xbox era to Xbox 360 era as well). Of course, Ihope the change does not happen too soon as there are plenty of games to be played on the Xbox 360 (and wii for that matter now that I am a Wii owner). I think even in this generation of gaming, there still are some new grounds to be covered:

- virtual reality has not fully been invested in yet. I remember back during my high school years, virtual reality made its debut (for example, I used to go to this arcade place similar to gameworks at Whistler, known as Mountain World, though it went out of business since) and they had plenty of virtual reality style-equipment, such as mech warrior simulation pods as well as this game where you put on these special virtual reality glasses and shoot aliens with this controller (not sure what it was called). Progress is getting there of course, especially with the rise of the motion sensor controllers that debuted on the wii (and I understand that Microsoft is planning to join in that bandwagon, with upcoming titles like Project Milo, which is a simulation game I saw on youtube where you can interact with this virtual character). One big change that would impress me is if virtual reality became mainstreamed in some future generation game systems (possibly Xbox 720 era at the earliest)

- MMORPGS for the Consoles (such as Second life, Star Wars Galaxies, World of War Craft, etc). Obviously, there are plenty of Xbox live games out there (such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2), butMMORPGS could become a hit for Xbox live gamers, especially if they do not have a computer to play MMORPGS on.

- TV less consoles (besides handhelds) could be another big leap for the gaming industry. For example, if they came with their own projectors that you can display on the wall or had special goggles you could use (that does alot better than Nintendo's Virtual Boy console of course).
