From the minute a hardware manufacturer launches a new console, they normally start planning the next model.

However its been mooted that Microsoft are at a more advanced stage. Personally I dont think we will see the Xbox 3 before 2010.

Seriously! All those tattoos on his arm. Halo and GTA IV. Im sure I read they are real. GTA IV is just around the corner. Why didnt IGN ask him to give a quick flash of his arm!

I bet his wife isnt happy about them...

I love the look of the Home 'world.'
Its futuristic yet Earthy. Modern and idyllic. Open spaces, sun shining, great vistas, massive windows, so even when your indoors it looks like you are outdoors.

Coming from a grey London suburb I have to ask 'Why cant the real world look this great?'

This reminds me of the time when Atari ST games were £19.99, and Commodore Amiga games were £24.99.
The cheek of it!
but the power of the Amiga shone through

even amazon.co.uk have a £10 difference.
its strange.
maybe they think PS3 owners are willing to pay more?
unless Capcom set the price...

I love the new look.
Ever since I discovered N4G it has got better and better.
Can't wait to see what this year brings.

Happy videogaming in 2008 N4G friends!

I have Vista running on a 4GB quad core. There a lot of nice touches. But when i first log in, and launch Outlook, it takes my PC about 1 minute before I can actually do anything. Firefox often stops responding, then starts responding again. And another thing, is my PC cant go into sleep mode. I put it to sleep, after 10 seconds it wakes up?! I've read a few people have this issue.

So i cant wait for the Service Pack!

I have the new PS3 Eye and think it's great with SingStar.
I would love to be able to control the XMB with hands, it's technically possible for the Sony London Studios. But it WONT happen anytime soon.

It would require XMB memory resources-however as we all know Sony Japan are working on giving us in-game XMB. This is the priority. Once they get this out the door, then they might consider it.

Gizmodo's response to the member of staff is a long diatribe about not selling out, but I think they have their wires crossed.

When a blog/website resists pressure by companies to review products highly, else face being blackballed, THIS is standing up to conglomerates, THIS is standing up for good journalistic principles. Turning of TV screens is not the same thing.

I watched the video, and found it quite funny for a while. Turning of random screens might have b...

The Microsoft spokesman said "While the games community's response to this rumour is extremely flattering, we don't have anything to announce at this time."

That sounds good to me!
It sounds like there IS something to announce, but just not yet.
GoldenEye is such a classic. An online update would be so brilliant. An updated version of one of the best reviewed games, would have a strong chance of breaking sales records as the best selling downloaded game ...

I love the feel of Motorstorm. It has great playability. But it is missing a split-screen multiplayer mode. Sure playing over the PSN is fun but it is also fun racing against real-world friends. Being able to see their faces as you beat them is great. I am looking forward to Motorstorm 2, Im sure they will include split-screen.

If the Xbox 3 is released 5 years after the 360- it will hit the shelves in 2010.
DVD will be far too small for its next next-gen games. Microsoft have 3 options

1 - Blu-ray
2 - Propriety disc (based on HD-DVD)
3 - Digital Downloads (if the tech is ready)

If Blu-ray becomes a big hit, Microsoft will consider it but they would prefer digital downloads because then they would control the content. The problem is it would need massive storage spa...

GoldenEye brings back loads of good memories of the 90s for me.
More youthful times, my N64, 4 Joypads with Rumblepacks and one brilliant game. The thing about it was the single player missions were great, and as you increased the difficulty level, you actually got more objectives (not unimaginatve like now were harder skill setting means more shots to kill.) The best thing was 4 player split-screen. Me and my friends spent hours playing this. My favourite was proximity mines. It was l...

What format will the Next-Xbox use?

If Microsoft do opt for the direct downloads route, then the Xbox 3 will need major hard drive storage. This will also impact retail stores. I discuss the strengths, merits, and drawbacks of Direct Downloads, Blu-ray, and Hd-dvd on the Xbox 3.

thanks for reading.

I love the Baldur's Gate series on PC. It demonstrated that Bioware are at the top of RPG tree. Knights of the Old Republic showed they could update RPGs into the 3d era. Ive barely created my character in Mass Effect, but it could be great.

Besides KOTOR 3/ KOTOR MMORPG, what I am really waiting for is the long fabled Dragon Age. I know RPGs take ages to develop, but it's been in development for ever. I think this will be the game to set new standards. It be nice if it came o...

Hi, Im a contributor on N4G. I do run an independent blog, but I've taken a lot of time to intelligently discuss the issue of digital downloads vs Blu-ray.

All I ask is that you read the article?!

HD-dvd consortium have cancelled there appearance at CES.
This means that Blu-ray will have the next-gen DVD limelight to themselves. If there is only one company present the media will see this, and write about it. Basically CES will see Blu-ray's coronation as the next-gen format winner. Will they be magnanimous in victory?

I have to say I knew he would like this news. It shows that big shot Hollywood movie directors can take the format wars quite seriously too!

"Have faith people Transformers will come out in Blu-ray one day!"

This is major news. Warner Bros realised the format war was preventing sales growth.

But what does it mean for the PS3?
It means the machine has legs. Shops will now push Blu-ray exclusively meaning the PS3 will sell a little bit more.

Does this mean that the Xbox 3 will have a Blu-ray drive?

I have a 60GB PS3 and use it heavily for all sorts of media including photo albums and mp3s and now divX! But it was approaching bursting. just last night I spent 20 minutes deleting hi-res trailers and unwanted demos. PlayTV will increase it's workload. You can never have too much space. So why waste effort upgrading to a 160GB, the 500GB is a definite purchase for me.
