    Anyone have any solid info on the new name? Will it be the 720 or the Durango or something else?

    That'd be the info I care least about :pac:

    Current thinking is it will simply be called "Xbox"

    On the price, I'd be amazed if it's less than €500 when it launches this year (full price one I mean - bot sure if they have plans to do the sub one in Europe).

    Xbox Infinity apparently is the official name for it...3 weeks time we'll know more but it strongly looks like illumiroom is the killer feature for it..if game devs actually implement it..

    Illumiroom looks great, but it requires a kinect and a wide FoV projector which would be expensive. Unless Microsoft build their own illumiroom peripheral that they sell at a good price, it won't be anything more than a research project/gimmick for the near future any way.

    Sounds like you were day dreaming about the Gillette Fusion which now has 5 blades for an even closer shave.
