Next Xbox expected launch in November,$499 or $299 with subscription

4.4
Without a doubt, the next generation Xbox is the most highly anticipated launch from the company in some time. While the Surface announcement generated quite a bit of noise, the next generation Xbox will be the follow-up to one of Microsoft's best hardware products in the history of the company, so as you can imagine, expectations are quite high.

Paul Thurrott, who nailed the launch date of the console, is back with more information and seeing as he got it right the first time around, we have reason to believe his new information is as credible as the first wave of content. According to Paul, the next Xbox will launch in early November and will have a price of $499 or $299 with a monthly $10 subscription.

In addition to the above information, the console will have a Blu-ray drive and as previously expected will be based on the core of Windows 8.

The critical information above, if accurate, is the release and price as Microsoft typically holds this information close to the vest before letting the public know these two crucial pieces of information.

We fully expect Microsoft's next console to be a true media hub in the living room with a significant focus on content, as well as gaming. Seeing that Microsoft is building out its Windows 8 ecosystems with phones, tablets, and PCs, the Xbox is the missing link for the ecosystem.

Although that is a nice build, I don't really like AMD as much as Intel :/. AMD is better for low to medium-end pc's and mobile, Intel is for medium to high-end computers.

The best GPU they will throw into an Xbox or PS3 will be a similar model to a GTX 650 TI or a Radeon HD 7770. They will not go any higher because that would cost too much money.
But here you go a Gaming PC that has some parts better than a PS4 or than what the upcoming xbox. KEEP IN MIND: some things like the PSU, Mid Tower Case and Mobo are cheap but they work fine.

Bias Might as well just get a gaming PC.


What good gaming PC can u get for 500 dollars


Well you can spend an extra hundred dollars or two and it will probably beat the Xbox 720.

I can easily make a Gaming PC for $500 that would beat the 720 or PS4.


You can't say that if you don't even know it's specs, and plus, the PS4 specs, I'd like to see you try.

TooXquisite $500 is a nice price. All yall need to do is save $63 a month until November and you will have enough.


63 is a lot for someone who doesn't work. Allowances dont get you that far


Then get a job. If you're too young for a job then go around cutting grass for people, that's what I did.
