MSFT has been SOOO quiet, think they have something big; insisted that I fly up for a preview, they usually don't waste my time

Yeah in the latest Bombcast he mentioned that Microsoft was going to have some "Hardcore" Kinect titles at E3.Gary Whitta said:I was just chatting to Pachter on Twitter, he's up at Microsoft next week for an embargoed E3 preview. I asked him if he anticipated any megatons, and this was his reply:

That is indeed strange. Not sure if I want something like that.Gary Whitta said:I heard a rumor last week from a pretty decent source that there could be some kind of quasi-nextgen 360 model that would uprez all existing and future titles to 1080p at 60fps. Not a true nextgen Xbox, just a more powerful 360. Sounds kinda strange to me.

That sounds super weird.

No way. Pre-existing games are written for a closed system spec. It would take a new rerelease/up-port to get Alan Wake or Halo 3 running at 1080p60.Gary Whitta said:I heard a rumor last week from a pretty decent source that there could be some kind of quasi-nextgen 360 model that would uprez all existing and future titles to 1080p at 60fps.

Maybe for future games written specifically for the hardware, but it seems like a really dangerous move. Chances are a lot of games would wind up extremely gimped on the 360 they've sold 50 million of. They'd also be doing away with one of the greatest things about console gaming, the single-spec target.

3DO 2 LOLfunkystudent said:while we are posting bat shit crazy ideas there was that rumor a few years ago that MS was looking at Licencing out xbox to other companies the same way they are handling windows phone 7. so they would have set hardware required to run games and stuff but then companies can add a few extra thing on to it if they want so Samsung could make a xbox, LG could make a xbox and so on.

Seems crazy but you never know.
What would be the benefit?Shurs said:The 3DO model?
It doesn't seem that crazy.

I don't know. It seems like so many things could go wrong.Metalmurphy said:If emulators have been doing it for decades I don't see how a new console with new software wouldn't be able to.

Xbox 360 in your HDTV.Gary Whitta said:What would be the benefit?
I very strongly believe neither will have Kinect.funkystudent said:I expect ALL first party Microsoft titles will have some kinect stuff in them just like Sony got all there first parties to shoe horn Move in there titles. I expect Gears 3 and the Halo CE remake will have Kinect stuff announced for them at e3.
Not interested in Child of Eden?Gary Whitta said:I am really hoping for some exciting Kinect-based stuff because after all the initial hype and Dance Central the thing has done nothing but gather dust on top of my TV. It's going to become the new Wii if MSFT doesn't come up with some really great stuff for it.

Okay yeah that's cool.SapientWolf said:Xbox 360 in your HDTV.
That's the one known title I have high hopes for. I'm just hoping there's a lot more exciting stuff to be revealed.Zeouterlimits said:Not interested in Child of Eden?
It does.Shurs said:360 already upscales to 1080p, I think.
MS most likely won't. Steve Ballmer's been pushing the cloud philosophy for a while now, and they've yet to charge cloud services for the regular users.Chanser said:Cloud support included in gold subs? They better not charge extra for it.
Gary Whitta said:What would be the benefit?
I'm warming to the idea.Graphics Horse said:I wouldn't put it past them. Kind of like a Game Boy color model, enhanced visuals/stealth new system launch.
Will never happen. Or if it does, it will be horrible for the consumer, so I hope it never happens. TV manufacturers have no interest in updating anything they offer. This means that they'll just ship what Microsoft tells them to ship but it'll never be updated (take a look at how the 360 has evolved via system updates). Forget about software updates if you have your 360 inside of your TV. The manufacturers will only give you the new system update if you purchase their new TV.SapientWolf said:Xbox 360 in your HDTV.

Well, in a few years there will be phones with more horsepower than the 360. If that isn't the case already. Shouldn't be that hard to shrink the parts down and use a more reliable manufacturing process.Megadragon15 said:Wouldn't it be a nightmare if it RROD/RDOD/E74 in a tv?
