Let's talk games.

Greetings everyone!

How goes the Monday so far? Well, let's have a little chat.

First, talking about the Xbox 720. There is a leak of info that IGN happened to get their hands on. Here is the original story.

An unconfirmed document allegedly leaking out of Microsoft reveals the company's five-year plan, price, and features for the Xbox 720. The 56 page document looks at the possibilities for Xbox 360 in 2011 leading up to the launch of the next generation in 2013, which includes a new Kinect sensor at launch in a $299 bundle. Notable changes include a blu-ray disc drive, as well as a focus on and tablet integration. IGN is already confident that the next-generation will begin in 2013, and the plan for tablets to talk to consoles recently rang true.

Notable goals and features for the Xbox 720 include an improved Kinect sensor with four-player games, accessing your media library anywhere via cloud streaming, and not needing to upgrade hardware ever again. Most notable is the rumored plans to create glasses that give players a heads-up display/virtual reality interface dubbed Fortaleza.

So there is a little info about the Xbox 720. What are your thought on it? $299 isn't bad at all for a new generation console, as well as getting Kinect in the bundle.

Now I'm curious about what the PlayStation 4. Because when they PlayStation 3 on release was $600. If Sony was smart, they would have the price at a maximum of $299. Or even $349 wouldn't be too bad. But they would be smart to include the PlayStation Move bundle as well. But we will have to wait and see what they do.

Another info leak that has come up, ( Yes, there are a lot today ) is a possible "Xbox Tablet". The Tablet with has a 7-inch screen and impressive technical specs. And apparently also supports up to 4 wireless game controllers. Here are the specs for it.



Pretty impressive indeed. This is something that sparks my interest for sure. I can see Sony doing something similar to this as well. When this gets out, Sony will be right behind them. Gotta keep up with the competition.

Well, that's pretty much all for today. Have a good one!
