Next gen Xbox disk installation required

4.2
Earlier today, a few images of the "Microsoft Durango XDK Documentation Setup" leaked on the internet. This document is for licensed game developers only, and it reveals tons of unannounced information regarding the next-gen Xbox to the public. Much more has been added to the documentation since the last time it was leaked.

What really threw us off was the following:
"All games will be installed on the hard drive. Play from optical disc will not be supported."

What do you think? We'd say this is proof that they will include, at least, a 320GB hard drive in the base console at launch.

We also noticed that upon installation of the documentation, all of the tools and plugins needed for developers to create games are installed to Visual Studio 2012. Older versions of Visual Studio seem to have been abandoned.

Activez- So we really have to wait till E3 to hear from M$ on the new console? I wish they'd do a mini conference like Sony did.


They won't do that because Sony is always better than Xbox.


Not true. That's just opinion based. Both are good for their own reasons.


Opinions make the companies rich

No, just because you don't pay for membership doesn't mean it's better. It's all preference. Imo xbox is better.
