I'm assuming it's going to be smaller than a fridge this time?

It would be nice if they designed a machine that was stackable, so I could put it on the bottom of my stack of game machines. I'd use my current Xbox as a coffee table if the top were somewhat flat.

where are the ports for the controllers?! If they switch it to two players, I would be P-I-S-S-E-D!

No controller ports, wireless.

Do a google search for more info. There are tons of things different, and although this is not a real photo "sources" say that it is going to look like that and that this pic is of a rendering.

As for the size of it, it will be smaller than a PS2 but not by much (and not smaller than the little PS2).

From what I heard, MS was so ticked about people using the harddrives to mod it. They also didn't like the fact people were buying it as a cheap computer when it came out. Celeron, hard drive, vid card. etc. etc.

I hear they won't let you play Xbox1 games because it won't have the hard drive. I still don't see why kill the hard drive because they want people to buy things online through Xbox Live.

As much as I want to see new technologies, I don't see Microsoft doing anything different as to bullying Sony or Nintendo around.

Even if Nintendo still has the least titles, or smaller audience, they still own the kid and handheld market.

Sony will still be Sony. Blu Ray will be the new wave, and hopefully they can just add a few controller ports, standard hard drive on their systems or flash memory. Improve graphics, and let the developers they got using "Microsoft" tactics do the rest.

I just wish certain games remained on certain systems and be done with the "console wars"

First person shooters and MMORPG stick to PC.

Casual gamers, sports games, and anything else stay on console.

Kid themes go to Nintendo.

Make all games available to all systems and just let people buy what system they want. But hey I can't control these people and a business is a business.

From what I've read the new XBox will still have a hard drive.

And console wars are good for all of us. It creates competition and drives imagination. Personally I prefer concole games than PC games.
