So people can't share games? Also I hope they don't base there graphics off of the 6670.why not go with the 7000HD series and take advantage of the smaller 28nm architecture and make a cooler and more powerful system?Even if it takes longer to come out.

They should get rid of disk drive entirely.

Even though everyone is already commenting about the anti-used game thing I still have to comment :P Seriously if the new Xbox does not let me play used games then I definitely won't be buying it, 90% of my games I get used I just prefer to save the few bucks, plus if it's Blu-Ray does that mean I can't play my 360 games on it? if that is also a truth then count me out

Any console that does not support used games will not make it in my house. Period. I would have no reason to by anything but Steam and Origin games at a much discounted price.

Not buying it if I can't play used games, that would be a monumental mistake by microsoft

I just quickly skimmed over the first few comments and I noticed something quite odd. No one seemed to mention about the new Xbox having a feature where you cannot play used games. WTF????? That is ultimately disturbing. Yes, I buy new games. Games that I know without a shadow of a doubt are worth the 60 bucks, i.e. Skyrim. But to punish gamers who trade amongst themselves or buy used is truly inexcusable. I'm telling you, gaming is an addiction that is becoming synonymous with those supporting their addiction to hard drugs. An high priced habit. This is ridiculous. Xbox Live already increased their online price by 10 bucks. And now they don't want you to buy used? Its also ridiculous because they DO make their money. In more ways than one. People starting that crap about these guys not making enough money need to stick it. I don't make enough money myself to game and I support myself. Not like these children who just cry to their mothers for every launch title that happens. Yet, they cannot see the problem with this. Every time they make the stakes higher, someone will find a way to undo such injustice. That's why piracy is so rampant. Its the Robin Hood Theory in effect.

The built-in Kinect thing was something I was actually hopeful about, and I can't believe they would really do it. Sounds too good to be true. I would not buy Kinect but if its included automatically that would be pretty cool.

On the other hand, the not playing used games thing sounds unbelievable. Really? I'd be amazed if they actually did that. The next Xbox console was going to be an automatic buy for me, but that may be a deal breaker. In some ways its kind of going against the entire culture of gaming that has been around since there were home consoles.

WiiU for me.....

Really, no used game, so now reviews will matter more than ever before.

What's next, It'll be Download only,   codes only,   ....well that works for not working for used games though.

II HAVE THE POWAAAAAA... He-Man! Ha!! But on the serious note it sounds pretty cool if it goes right.

+CRITICAL HIT+ On Gamestop revenue. They already do this with many pc games, doing this for consoles would kill a lot of business, and not really gain any for themselves, people who can't rent will be less likely to buy given they can't try it outside a demo maybe, oh I am too lazy to list all the other reasons why this is a bad idea, and a bad industry trend, and I am completely biased in my opinion, being a consumer and all.

I can not wait for the official announcement & details for Microsofts NEXT XBOX later this year.

"may not play used games"

And there goes retro gaming... Just imagine if you couldn't play used games on your old systems today. Retro collectors like me would have nothing to do but collect useless, unplayable cartridges. That's what it will be like in thirty years when this system is retro. **** you Microsoft. I guess this works out for them so they can re-release old games on newer systems because you won't be able to play them once new copies of the original stop being printed. **** this.

Ya know what they say third times a charm, 'cept this is only their second attempt at full motion gaming, so don't get your hopes up

There is no way I would even consider buying the next XBox if they really do end up implementing some kind of anti-used games tech. Even though I mostly buy my games new, especially now with online passes becoming rampant, I do buy some games used. I know a lot of people out there can't afford to buy a lot of their games new, especially now. What about those gamers? Yeah, I believe Microsoft is that greedy to do something like that, but I don't think they are that stupid. It seems to me they would lose more money from people not buying the next XBox due to their supposed anti-used games policy than they would lose in used game sales. Being a gamer is expensive enough already.

New console generation speculation.  I know this music.

Sounds interesting. I lost interest in my X box after a lack of first party games and the kinect. Maybe if they put out something solid I'd go back to it. For now I'm happy I switched to a PS3

Out with the 8 year old hardware, I want "DX11" and the next generation in multi-platform games, "More Memory" with that a high powered 4 core processor, I know MicroSoft won't put a 6 core in there console that would be pushing it! I just want the next generation in gaming, been waiting for along time!

No used games, sounds like a fiasco.  I know it is an old game but "they" have major issues with FFXI because it links directly to your gamertag, xbox and hdd. "new" copies go for over $200. No used games; A great corporate idea, but piss poor for consumers.

Pure speculation on my part: just wait for the day you get home with new game but it reads as used, then you can use a product you paid for! (Gears of War day1 and my broke xbox360) same deal but nothing broke but some code, ish.  why even bother blocking used games?

uhm. Horse poop? used games stimulate the economy!

Well, I hope the used games banning feature is not true. Forcing everyone to buy new copies of a game is somewhat ridiculous.
