Also, Sources say new machine will require constant broadband connection, block secondhand titles, and ship with a new iteration of Kinect. This one's still up in the air. Early news is that the new Xbox 720 can only play new games, in a sense, crippling an industry like Gamestop or any rentals. This one will be reviewed.

The Xbox 360 has had quite the run. Released in 2005, it has stood strong for nearly seven years and has only grown into a dynamic household unit capable of so much more than playing games.

Now with the release of the new Xbox 720, everything that we were just discovering will be that much better..!

Please do not post specs that were just made up, or have no source of proof.

Ex:

I dont want players to have to reset all their gamescore when the new system comes out.
- So accounts should just be transferred over to the new database.

There has also been a 'Durango Dev Kit" that was confirmed to be true.

Many avid gaming fans would want a Xbox of their own. Who wouldn't? With all of the good specs and the awesome games you can play in the Xbox 360, there is no doubt that having this kind of console is something that many people would want. However, to those who have already enjoyed these kinds of consoles, they will want to expect some more. That is where Xbox 720 comes in.

The 720 is known as the next generation of the Xbox and may be known as the best Xbox there is. Many would be expecting that it will be more successful than the Xbox 360 by everything about it. There are some surveys that show that there are more people that would like to see and purchase the Xbox 720 than to its rivals successor, PlayStation 4. Plus, with the possible games that will go with Xbox 720, it is no wonder why many would want to have this console. Though the Xbox 720 maybe release from the long time this year, there are already some rumors about how it would look like. Moreover expect awesome functions that what the old Xbox didn't have. Some of these reasons, of course, are about what most gamers would have wanted for their Xbox console. Some even been able to make their own version of the Xbox 720 through pictures and video that is now all around the internet. However, there are some rumors that may be true such as the chance of the GPU and AMD of the console being higher and the chance that the controllers are now easy to handle.

No matter what things that might have pop out about the new product of Microsoft expect that once you have used the Xbox 720, you will be able to enjoy all of its function as you play with it.

Gamestop, a company that sells and trades games made a comment stating how it would hurt the Game company if they can't use 'OLD" games:

If you have noticed, microsoft has been slowly avoiding having consumers using digital currency to pay for online goods. Microsoft is trying to eliminate Microsoft points and replace with just currency. For example Rather than consumers paying $19.99 USD for 1600 Microsoft points, users would instead spend the $19.99 directly based on their region of purchase. This would set a standard on prices, and make currency conversion easier for developers.

Microsoft has released an official statement concerning the investigation by the FBI of the individual responsible for the rumors popping up about the Xbox720/Durango.

The individual, known by the Twitter handle SuperDAE, had his/her house raided after allegedly obtaining a Durango PC and posting it on Ebay. Durango is the codename for Microsoft's next generation console, better known as the Xbox720.

The statement is rather brief, and reveals some key information about the upcoming game console, which has yet to be officially unveiled.

"Microsoft did not initiate this FBI investigation with this individual, as has been asserted in some of the articles in the media...We take security very seriously and have no evidence of any compromise of our corporate network. We have no further comment on this matter,"

This comes from a Microsoft spokesperson, given to The Tech Game, originator of the report (via CVG).

What is interesting is that by claiming that the network was not breached, Microsoft is also publicly stating that anything and everything that has been claimed by SuperDAE could be considered false, including the claims about the new console will ship with Kinect 2.0. We'll have to wait and see how much of the details hold true.

Microsoft also has claimed that they are not responsible for the warrent being issued, thus leaving either the FBI or Ebay as the ones pushing this investigation forward.

While this is a blow to anyone who were excited by the rumors (or anyone who wished to buy the Durango dev kit that SuperDAE had listed on Ebay), we can rest assured that whatever the Durango/Xbox720 is, Microsoft will come forth with details soon. With the Nintendo Wii U out and the Sony PlayStation 4 expected to be on retail stores' shelves by the holidays, it would be advantageous for Microsoft to unveil the system sooner rather than later. The company is rumored to hold an April event to unveil the Xbox 720.
