    Default Xbox 2 gonna blow PS3 all the WAY!!!

    Here's the proof it is confirmed that Xbox 2 is gonna have no backwards compaciblitily.
    and Most likely no hard drive xbox is screwed even with perfect dark or halo. I have a xbox and love it but, now with all this I think I will get a PS3 or Nintendo Revolution.

    I dont care if you have backward compadability or not. Dont you think that the PS3 will be alot more expensive? Just think the PS3 is "sopposed to have a cd burner". Who the hell burns cds on a gaming platform, thats what computers are for. If you are a XBOX fan why would you turn to the PS3 instead of the hier of the XBOX?

    I could understand them taking away backwards compadability (considering it is not that useful imo) but I highly doubt they would take away the hardrive.

    backwards compatability is overrated. How often do you play games from the previous generation? Not often. I can see playing original nintendo to get back to your roots but who cares about previous gen. Oh, and this thread sucks.

    Exactly those are all just rumors and speculations anyway. Its like going hunting for deer when your blind. You may hit something but its highly unlikely

    That's not proof, untill Microsoft says it themselves, which they haven't.

    True, and if you really want to argue about ps3 vs. xbox next, then it should go in console debate.

    No doubt. This is all speculation. No one knows for sure. All I know is that you can't believe everything you read off the web.

    Microsoft has made no such announcement. When interjected on it, they say they can't confirm or deny, but that it would cost a lot of Money. Whatever they choose, I'm sure it'll be the right one. They aren't one of the biggest monopolies in the world because of making poor business decisions. (Look at what's happened to MGS in the last 2 years)

    All I can say is: Sony's Bluff, Microsoft's Bluff, Nintendo's bluff; Who really knows?

    You got Sony trying to strangle the console market & now the Handheld, Nintendo strangling Handheld & looking to get the Console market going, & then Microsoft.

    Last I heard, there were going to be different versions of both Ps's & Xbox's. Different versions for what you want in a console:
    some stripped, for playing the games that don't need the HardDrive & you play basically stripped games with Memory Cards. Typically sports titles & the like.

    Other, upgradeable versions where it's basically like the PS2 where it's mostly set up for that stuff, but you may have to upgrade the Modem & the Hard-drive.

    Then they're both talking Crazy: Sony's talking CD Burner & Digital Video Recorder like Tivo... WHy? I don't know... Something to do with "Entertainment System" ...

    Microsoft is talking all of that fancy stuff too, but sensibly. I'm sure you've heard of the MicrosoftPCNext. It's basically a PC Entertainment piece for your TV. It's supposed to have an eye on it which acts like Visual Telephone on your TV instead of COmputer.
    It's also Backwards compatible with all Xbox, Xenon, & any Window's Game & Program. It's supposed to be the new Cable Box too!

    Nintendo is talking about pushing the envelope too with their next console but they're years behind, it seems. They still haven't even released a DVD-Rom.

    So, what do you guys think? WHo is going to push the envelope more? We'll know more later.

    I don't really agree with that, but that's me. They are going to do something "new", not just more powerfull like XB2/PS3, which I will most likely welcome with open arms. But we'll see..

    This shoudl be on console debate now:P

    I'm basicaly netrual on the subject of backward compatibility, wouldn't mind it in there, wouldn't care if it was taken out.

    About the N5 though, I think the graphics of the N5 will still be near the standards of X2 and PS3. It's kind of stupid not to improve graphics when you can, and still use the inovational features they plan to use.

    i havnt ever owned a sony console but my friend has and the one big thing i saw that with the backwards compatability is that when it came time so buy the new console he could keep the really sweet games that he knew he would play later and then he was able to trade in his old console and the sucky games to get a huge amount taken off the new system's price...and right now that sounds sweet because i got a few games i feel like tradin but havnt cause im savin them to c if there is backwards compatability on the xbox2. another thing about backwards compatability is that the xbox live game choices would be huge from the launch and just think about goin bak to old games from xbox and playin them with ur buddies on live. i dunno i would really like them to have it on xbox next but chances are they wont...especially if they take out the black and white buttons.

    my guess is they wont have a hard drive because they will have flash memory which IMO is better. i think they will also pass on the backwards compatability.
