      Next Xbox to play Blu-rays, block used games

      Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor will supposedly use high-capacity discs, smaller controller, and Kinect 2; could keep gamers from playing secondhand games.

      Blu-ray support sounds good but why not used games? How would they even detect if a game is used? :S

      Rumors say that X720 will use 6670 at the end of next year. In PC's terms, the GPU is already outdated. I hope to god that MS know what they are doing. When X360 was launched, they used the top of the line GPU. It has declined 4 to 5 years into its age. Now they will be using a weaker GPU, not top of the line, that too after 2 years of its launch :s...

      Maybe they indeed are focusing on Kinect only games. Or that they are gonna optimize it to hell and do some miracles on it.

      Game comes with an online activation code or something. This to prevent second hand trading where publisher and MS gets nothing.

      There you go, they are changing one of their best things about Xbox!! The controller!!

      No wonder, 'you are the controller!'

      Blu-ray for HD media purposes makes sense.

      Btw it is highly likely that they provide games through digital distribution only!

      not a fucking chance in hell, as long as they're using physical mediums to distribute games they will not dare get on the bad side of retailers.

      well thats not going to happen ..@ 2nd hand games is a very very lucrative market and not every one buys new ---

      if they do that -- then expect a massive decline in there sales --- maybe sony will counter this move ---- bhai ms is not stupid its a rumour --
      and i hope backward compatable with old xbox games

      It's still too early for consoles to be digital distribution only, Alot of countries don't have connections fast enough to download 50 gigs worth of game.I expect average game size to be atleast 15-20 GB next gen.

      The used games blocking will be a DICK move.And These are JUST rumors, One claims the 720 will be 6 times as powerful as the 360.
