Xbox 720: "new Xbox" is "coming out with Windows 8"

4.5
Xbox 720 is “coming out with Windows 8,” according to what could be a slip-up by Microsoft general manager Brian Hall.

Hall was discussing the launch of Outlook.com in an interview with The Verge when he mentioned the “new Xbox” in relation to Windows 8.

Here’s the full quote:

“We’ve had Hotmail and operated Hotmail for about 16 years, we obviously have Exchange, and Outlook, that people use at work. We just decided it was time to do something new and bring the best from each of those and put them together and release it right in time for the new wave of products that we could have coming out with Windows 8, with the new version of Office with the new Windows phone and the new Xbox.”

You can hear Hall say the words in the recorded interview below, from 1 minute 17 seconds: video below

Scanty I wish they'd just get along with Google so we could have chrome.


EDIT: Actually no, Google already took over/destroyed youtube, so they're smart for keeping them away from the Xbox. My mistake.

SexuaI i heard the price was 200


I think that would be abit to low for a new release.


A worker in game station told me 99 ?


damn lol, that would be a good price then.


Yeah hopefully that is going to be the price for it.


If it is i might consider buying it.


You should bro for that price
Thats pretty much a steal bro go for it


If it's that price then I will too lol I think most people will

Yeah many people would get it for that price if they had the chance.


200 would be great, I think it will go for around 400.
