Toshiba Working With Microsoft On New Entertainment Xbox - Smarthouse

Quote:

Microsoft, according to insiders at Toshiba owner of the HD DVD patents, claim that Microsoft is working on a brand new Xbox that will incorporate not only a new HD DVD drive but a large hard drive and new entertainment software that is a spin off from its struggling media centre offering.

So instead of buying a new console every 3 or so years, we buy 3 of the same console every year?

meh. sounds like everything that the original Xbox was SUPPOSED to be, then everything the 360 was supposed to be.

You know, the entertainment center for your home, blah blah blah.

I guess if they incorporate the media extender and the 360 and the HDDVD drive and an HDMI port and then....

Wait, that's just a home theater PC that plays Xbox games.

Ahhhh I see.
