I hope that MS doesn't change the current design of the Xbox. There is nothing wrong with the way it looks now.

BTW Xbox Next is a terrible name.

Xbox Next is a terrible name......im sure they'll hear negative feedback before launch and rename it......almost all systems go through 2 or 3 names before launch...like N64 and (i believe) dreamcast

Whatever it ends up being it had better have the word Xbox or Microsoft would be shooting themselves in the foot. Xbox is the brandname they spent 2+ billion on. Can't change that now or in 3 years.

Xbox2
Xbox Next
Xbox Squared
Second Xbox

I don't really care.

So, do you then think the third one will have a dig at Nintendo by being the X-Cube?!

Flood

nah....when the 3rd xbox rolls around, they'll just call it XXX or Triple X

Wow Knight, that's some pretty impressive research.

But in reality, Microsoft's next Xbox won't be a box at all.

We're going to have:

XSphere (an even more oddly shaped console)
Playstation 3 (still without a harddrive)
and the Mario Machine (Nintendo goes back to a cartridge based system)

Yes, that's the future of gaming.

Doesn't that pretty much nullify the "there is no power greater than X" slogan they have right now? :D

What about the Dolphin? That ended up being the Gamecube. Just a few more examples.:)

Never trust the first name you hear for a new or upgraded console until it is actually out on the market.;)

Lol. I guess it does, tennyson.

This is very questionable news. They got this information from some magazine who did not cite any source. That means that Joe Blow the local man whore from the alley could have made it up. Secondly, xboxnext.com, microsoft could have registered that username for any number of reasons. Maybe that will be the official news site for the upcoming microsoft console. That doesn't mean that, that is its name. It could also be some sort of tournament page or any number of things you can think of.

I say this is faulty and false information. I highly doubt that will be its name.

yeah I sure hope next is jsut the code name like "dolphin" for gamecube.

I still think they should name it xbox future.

That's wicked!! All I want to know is:

Why is it coming out so soon?
Can it play XBox games?
Can you use XBox's controllers on it?

For the next gen Xbox, Xbox next isn't that bad of a name. I just don't want them to be like sony and name every system with a number at the end like Playstation 2, Playstation 3, etc. I hate that. I can tell Sony is not very original.

I can still remember going to Babbages one month til Xbox and Gamecube came out and someone asked the employee when does the Xcube come out.

its not that Sony is unoriginal....its just that EVERYONE knows the name Playstation...so why would they throw away a well known name like that for something like Excaliber or Code Blue?

its proven that people are more likely to buy something by a name that they know...thats why Pepsi sells so well...because everyone knows their name.

i really hope they do, atleast have it play xbox games and use the controllers, then i could just sell my xbox i have right now and replace it with the new one.

I'm sure the PS3 will have a HDD. Aren't they selling it in Japan? As for Xbox Next, I don't think they will go with that. They do tons of marketing research and that name won't catch on. How about XboxX as a name?

Good find, man. But does anyone know if you can use XBox controllers on it? 500 bucks is a bit much, I don't want to be putting out even more cash for controllers when I could already have ones that could work on XBox Next. PS2 can use PS One controllers, why can't XBox Next use XBox controllers?

project freon is 500.00 dollars and thats a hybrid of xbox and tv recording which is slated for 2003. xbox next is coming out 2005 0r 2006 no price or specs yet but rest assure that it will be backwards compatible and the controllers will work.

Exactly! I think the name "XBox Next" is an awesome name. Personally, I can't think of a better name for XBox's next console.

Web Browsing and Email (similar to WebTV)
Digital Video Recorder (record shows to HDD and pause live TV)
Freestyle (digital media jukebox -- access media files like MP3 & Windows Media over a LAN)

Sir, you didn't read the article did you. this is not the specs for xbox next but for the hybrid known as project freon that has all what you mentioned. this is how stupid rumors start, if MS objected a dvd kit and wanted the xbox to be a true gaming console why would he incorporate all this BS in xbox next? read the fcuking article before you shoot off your 2 cents. Here read it, i'ts not that hard. (http://gamenews.pcvsconsole.com/print.php?news=1500)

Please.. Don't treat me like an ignorant fool. I may be a fool but i'm not ignorant. I merely mis-worded my post. I did indeed read the article, don't worry about me :p.

All i meant to say was that I wouldnt buy the 'freon', and i'll stick to an xbox, which is cheaper and has all I need.

PS. Xbox next could catch on.. but right now it seems a little odd, think of when you first heard about "Attack of the clones". I know I was minorly outraged ;)
