Essentially im asking them to make a PC console hyrbrid thing...

I think we will see 500 GB hard drives out of the box. In two years it will be extremely cheap. Of course they'll still charge us $100 extra.

The price tag of games is more concerning. Do they dare charge $70 for a game?

It wouldn't surprise me at all. The hardware inside the 360 is getting a little old. I don't doubt that games can look nicer, as the real problem is textures. I'd be happy if the amount of detail a PC game has set on high/very high could be ported over.

This will be the kicker. How much for a game?, Could you carry your Xbox Live account, points, and DLC over? If you have bigger, nicer looking games, they'll require more space than a DVD.

I think Developers want a new system ASAP. You already see 360 games have to be on Multiple disks because of the limitation of the DVD format.

I'd believe that more if more than a handfull of games needed multiple disks. Not saying it wont help to have larger capacity but I'm not seeing where all games are pushing the disk capacity as a whole. From what i can tell most of the used extra space on the ps3 is for sounds/audio.
I think most want better hardware in general than extra disk space. I mean PC games on 1 disk look and play better due to HW not disk space.
Either way the extra space sure wont hurt IF in fact the space is used and not wasted for the first 2-3 years of the next gen.

Im very excited about this, and also not, for one, getting a new system is always badass, new games, better graphics, bigger hardrive, new feautures, but what sucks is the cost, and all the old memories of previous systems, hell i still even plug in my SNES to play some Super Mario Bros here and there.

Has anyone heard or know if xbox360 will continue to be supported in 2013?

It'd be shocking if they didn't, given the large user base

You'll be surprised...........
