    Wow hold on a minute, if that's true MS can **** right off.

    If I don't need the game in the drive anymore then I like it, as I don't trade games in as is.

    But depends on it deals with sharing in a family setting with shared games and maybe more than 1 consoles (in the future).

    1 license needed per account playing the game

    Well that was sh*t!

    I notice it says Blu ray drive, it's been touted before that it won't be a player but just a medium for reading game discs?

    I trust that that doesn't mean a locally based 2nd player needs to buy a licence...& a local licence is issued to all accounts on the parent console?

    Does this mean no local multiplayer?

    Still TBC. If I hear anything before anyone else picks up on it I'll post

    It's certainly designed to look more inline with home cinema components, which is a good thing IMO. I like the look of it. Wasn't impressed with much else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,906 ✭✭✭✭PhlegmyMoses


    If it's account based, that'll be a problem for people who share the Xbox.

    Good question! I don't know yet. I'll try to find out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,072 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    No game rentals any more, that xtravision xtra f***ed!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    the physical size of the console looks huge, like a dvr from four years ago, like a old vcr or something. and the design overall is pretty ****e!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    Needs Kinect to work - confirmed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong

    Are they bought separately?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB

    13" wide, 3" high

    Slightly wider than the original 360, slightly shorter


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB

    They'll be sold together


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,640 ✭✭✭Pushtrak

    Pretty sure they said it came bundled with it sometime in there.

    It would be retarded to make the prices separate. Just roll it up in one.

    meh it will be sitting under my tv if i buy it. Im not looking to have sex with it. I'll wait to see if PS4 ends up looking like a George forman before i judge the loser

    but it does look like vcr hopefully not as big as one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 763 ✭✭✭Reality_Check1


    like I posted elsewhere this is a prime example of what happens when you put the best software developers in a room together but leave all the decisions making responsibility in the hands of greedy corporate bastards

    MS can Sit and swivel if anyone wants me I'll be on PC


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB

    Well, they'll come together, so it's not an extra purchase - but it IS an extra expense as part of the overall cost


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,740 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    So the most important question of the day - are they going to improve the fans or cooling system in place because every 360 I've come across sounds like a Boeing 747.

    runs "almost silent"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    So no rentals anymore?

    And I thought the console couldnt get any worse. Are they that money hungry. What was wrong with the xbox 360 sale figures? A huge success for the company and that didnt have this code and no rental crap. I can understand stopping the modding scene but ffs why does the legit customer have to suffer?

    The slot for the blu-ray is 12cm. Extrapolating that to the rest of the console and you have somewhere in the region of a 28-30 width and 6-8 cm height that makes it the marginally larger than the current Xbox 360. Far from huge.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    I think we're all forgetting about the most important thing here...

    Halo live action TV show!

    *snigger*

    If you're installing the games, it should be fine, I'd imagine. My 360s is relatively silent, once the game is installed.
