I know it's all hearsay up to this point, but I have to admit I'm not digging the way Microsoft is handling business about it. Plus if the always online feature turns out to be accurate, then MS will have to provide a lot of very compelling features along with it.

Yay! Cant wait for another Halo, Gears of War and some kiddy Kinect games -_-

lol they probly realized the negative reaction to the "leaked" rumor of always on, and thought "s*** they hate it and wont buy it, get back to the office we have to fix this. no always on anymore as we planned" lol

What happened to the "rumored" April 26th event? This site is turning into IGN east....

Not buying it if it's over $400, if it doesn't come with a huge HDD, doesn't play used games, has to be always online, if your digital purchases of games can't be brung over, & the Biggest Deal Breaker of All - if it doesn't have New Game Franchises Coming Out of It's Ass. You can only live off of Halo, Gears, Fable & Forza for so long Microsoft. Keep games EXCLUSIVE! How the Hell did you lose Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Splinter Cell, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Alan Wake, Dead Rising, Saint's Row, Crackdown, Viva Pinata, Castle Crashers, Limbo, Braid, Bastion, Super Meat Boy, Fez, Mark of the Ninja, & Trials in such a short span? If not, F@%k It, I'm Pimping my PC to the MAX. Steam is calling my name BIG TIME.

i bet mircosoft is trying to fix the always-on thing before the conference since obviously everyone is pissed off.

I hope the always on is just a rumor.I just want concrete info so we can finally know what we will be getting and everyone can relax.

I can't wait until all the rumors surrounding the Xbox '720" are finally dismissed and the PS fanboys are drowned out in the voices and opinions of the Xbox fanboys.

I'm surprised they're waiting that long. Whether these rumors are try or not they need to announce it asap.

I can't wait for an announcement on the new Xbox.

The amount of suckage and dullness from these new consoles being weak ass pcs in a box more than ever before holds no bounds.

I will keep on not caring if they come out or not.

It's not looking good for em already.

ohhhh snap lol

Somehow, I doubt this generation will be make-it or break-it for Microsoft. I think either: A. People will buy the new console regardless of how terrible it is, or B. Microsoft will keep the Xbox alive despite all the hate it gets.

I hope they aren't thinking this is building hype. They did mention that most people wouldn't even know about the PS4 event... So maybe they won't do one?

cant wait. ^_^ hope they actually announce it ...this time. Halo 5, and Destiny ftw.

3 more weeks.

I hope the rumors regarding the new Xbox are real. So that the console can fail. Why would I want it to fail? Because the Xbox 360 was the shadiest console ever released in gaming history. It's spectacular failure rate was astounding and I'm pretty ticked off at idiotic consumers who went out and replaced their consoles as many as six times. Or sent it in to be repaired over and over at $150 a pop. The issue with the console? The thermal paste put on the heat sinks of the system. It was very cheap acrylic stuff. It would eventually just chip and flak off. And the system would then red ring. You can fix the system yourself very cheaply just by using a razor blade to remove the crusty thermal paste Microsoft used, and using a better thermal past. Microsoft knows this. Know what they did? They made the console faulty on purpose. It's just cheap thermal paste. That can be replaced easily. And they counted on Microsoft fans to either spend gobs of cash replacing their consoles, or send it in for a whopping $150 repair which costs them nothing to do. All they did was just put more crappy thermal paste on the heat sinks and send it back to you. Oh it failed again? Yea because their crappy thermal paste has dried out again. It was a scam. The whole system was a freaking scam and consumers just happily went along for the ride. Microsoft made FAR more money than they should have off it. It was very profitable for them. And you Microsoft fans allowed every bit of it.

As someone who's only had and still has ONE Original Xbox, yet been through SIX 360's, I can't wait to see Micro$oft crash and burn. I will never forgive Micro$oft for getting rid of the Original Xbox, completely disregarding what put them on the map for home console gaming, and the abysmal *** that is the Xbox 360's Lifespan, I really think MS is putting the final nail in their coffin.
