I never said MS wants to have their products in everybody's living room because they think it's nice and they want to have coffee and hang out.

I waited till last year to get the N64, the games are so cheap! And according to my calculations I'll be getting the 360 some time around spring of 2017.

And just this morning I bought some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and cleaned the permanent marker I so foolishly put on all my cartridges.

Look at the prices of MS hard drives and flash drives. I wouldn't put it past them to do whatever possible ensuring greater profit. Would this included used games from the 360 or just "used" new releases?

There's a rumor now floating that the new X Box will lack a disc drive.

darthmunk 2 years 8 months ago Posts: 3365	No disc drive would be awesome! And it's not going to be download only, Microsoft is not that stupid. The leaked info says that the games will be in a solid state format similar to SD cards or USB sticks. In other words; cartridges are back! This is fantastic news!

I've always said fuck microsofts gaming systems, they need to stay focused on computers and then maybe Apple will stop shitting on them. Apparently the original XBOX is powerful to be a computer in itself except Microsoft put too many locks on it. Of course, I'm trying to break it open but I need an old, useless computer that's still working (I have a Windows 2000 computer but it's so useful, and the old 98 broke down around a year ago).
