I'm still very skeptical about Microsoft launching a new console in 2012 but I certainly wouldn't mind if they do. I still think they'll wait until 2013. Should be a wild E3 though, I can't wait.

Yeah I don't think they will say anything at this years E3 maybe at next years. MS said they won't release anything until 2014 at  least in the recent past. So I still have no reason to doubt that.

I'm still not convinced that graphics power is going to play a huge role in this upcoming gen. With Wii, yeah it being like a Gamecube compared to the HD consoles made a huge gap. 360 and PS3 are still going strong graphically 6 years later, and the new Nintendo is said to probably be slightly more capable than those, to "significantly"...whatever that means anymore. So I can't see the new Xbox or new PS4 blowing it away.

PC is always where you normally see the future jumps in graphics, and I'm not seeing it on any big scale like we've seen before. We'll see what happens.

I guess, going forward, the biggest differences won't be because of the graphics solution, but because of the CPU solution and amount of RAM. The 360 and PS3 have an incredibly small amount of RAM, at least compared to decent PCs. Actually, the biggest issue may well be internal temperature again.

Ugh...the last thing I want is more melting consoles. You just reminded me of the red rings. lol

Hell, if Microsoft's controller has a shlong cradle, that may sway me away from the Cafe at launch to go for the new Box instead if it releases next year. Because we all like to rest our controllers on our units, am I right fellas? A shlong cradle could be the innovation we've been waiting for.

"EA’s slashed the prices on Dead Space 1 and 2 by 40 percent on its store. On the EA Store, Dead Space 1 will set you back $11.99 (it’s £9.99 in sterling right now) with Dead Space 2 costing $23.99 (£34.99). Get them here."

AND

"The EA Steam Week continues with deals on Crysis games. Right now, you can get Crysis for $7.49 through the digital storefront, or Crysis Warhead for $4.99; however, true, hardcore saving-money-on-Crysis fans will be more interested in the Crysis Maximum Edition, which combines the two for just $10."

The next Xbox is already in the works and EA just started working with it. The next gen is here, Nintendo started the ball rolling and everyone is quickly going to follow suit. The one company that needs to erase this gen is quiet so far.

MS is probably going to say something at E3 to steal some of Nintendo's thunder. This will be an epic E3.



EA's denying it.  I doubt it's true, just one source.  Like an analyst said earlier today, a move like that would be "baffling" Microsoft has all the momentum right now.

Is the next xbox in development? Absolutely. Is it at the point where they'd be giving it to devs? No way.

Sigh.....Sony and their network problems.

Remember the good ol' days of Sega Dreamcast when you could play an amazing online game like Quake 3 Arena or Phantasy Star Online without fear of the servers being hacked or having to listen to idiots rapping into their microphones? *Edge begins to cry tears of joy*

I still love how you can totally play those games online still, well after 10 years.

Speaking of his hairyness. Homer took pictures of me posing next to Captain Caveman. And he asked if he could put it online. Why did you not put it on the VG Press?
