Rumor: Next Xbox contains Blu-ray, anti-used system

An industry source has told Kotaku that Microsoft’s next Xbox will contain Blu-ray as its disc technology, and that it’ll introduce Kinect 2; and that it’s to contain some kind of anti-used game technology. Such support would be a substantial data storage upgrade over 360′s current DVD model, which can only support up to 9Gb max. Blu-ray, on the other hand, can support up to 25Gb on a single-layer disc, and up to 50Gb on dual-layer. Previous rumors peg the system to also ship with DVR functionality. The source from the Kotaku report implied that Microsoft plans to incorporate an anti-used game application into the next Xbox. However, information on how such a scheme would be administered is unknown at this time. Another chatterer has told Kotaku the next-generation of Kinect sensors will ship with the console, and that motion sensor will contain its own on-board processor – tech which was originally planned for the first iteration of Kinect. The firm is also supposedly making the controller smaller than the one used with Xbox 360. Add all of these rumors to yesterday’s, which stated the next Xbox would contain six times the processing power of 360, and you have a broader picture of what “Xbox 720″ is rumored to include under the hood. Maybe.

does anybody have a problem with the 'anti-used game' capabilities.

as if they are telling us that ONLY new games that you pay for are allowed to be used on the system.

now that is f***ed up.

I hope they dont change the size of the controller, maybe give the option of having the original size or a smaller one.

:wink:

Seems like its going to have ALOT of good features but will probably be released at $600 if not $800...but still cant wait


Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Microsoft said this console will be cheaper than the 360.

nope blu ray was created by the Blu-ray Disc Association. consisting of nine leading companies Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Thomson, LG (Lucky GoldStar) Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, and Samsung.

And how is Microsoft going to employ an anti used game policy? Are they crazy? I guess they want it to be more like the PC, hello CD keys. Goodbye piracy? LOL :D !!!
I think he means who owns the it and that is Sony..

It is which is why this article is BS, xbox will never have a blue ray play that's Sony's product.

About the anti game the only way this will work is if xbox mandated all games to have a one time use serial..

if they do implement a anti used game which is not really possible on a video game, it would be like the pc and xbox what ever its called now is going to run windows 8.. wonder if people will buy two consoles one solely for offline like for piracy and one for on-line allot of key soft-wares have cracks
