microsoft orders another website to remove xbox 720 document

[CrimsonFan]

This weekend, an old but still confidential document from Microsoft was posted on the Scribd website. The presentation showed Microsoft's plans for the future of its Xbox game console business. The document was quickly taken down, thanks to Microsoft's lawyers, but not before it was picked up by pretty much every tech and gaming website there is. Now, yet another website has been ordered to remove a full copy of the two year old presentation.

Eurogamer.net reports that the Czech Republic-based technology site Ihned.cz was also given a formal takedown order by Microsoft's lawyers after it posted the document on the site, although some of its slides are still available for viewing. The (translated) message from the site says, "According to the legal department at Microsoft we're violating the copyright of the publication of the society."

This adds even more credence that this leaked document is in fact the real deal. The document described the next Xbox hardware as the "Xbox 720" with a full DVR set-up, support for Blu-ray, streaming game capabilities and more.

In a statement sent to Eurogamer, Microsoft said, "We are continually thinking about the future of the platform and when we have something to share, we will."

Interesting. Now, when does it come out?

Seems like Sony & Microsoft are waiting each other out. Which is fine by me, I just bought my Xbox last year.

What are "XTV" and "AAA games"?

I never wanted a new xbox.. I'm fine with the one I have had for years.. Why release a new one?? Not to mention I won't be able to afford it.. especially while being in college.

They say Sony will drop the next PS in 2013 too, so I guess they have to keep up.

Westend, what are you talking about?

Westend, what are you talking about?

It was just a joke. I'm still trying to perfect it, back to the drawing board I guess.

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

I knew you were joking, I was just having trouble following you.

I don't think they need to release any new consoles any time soon. They still have plenty they can do with the current generation.

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

Me either, but they don't seem to care what I think.

Me either. Our SportsHoopla rep must not be high enough.

What are "XTV" and "AAA games"?

AAA is just the high quality, big budget games.

XTV is Xbox TV, whatever that entails.

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

I read in the PCmag article that at least some of the XTV content will be released on the 360 by the end of the year, so I guess we'll see what it's all about then. Sounds like an expanded Apple TV/Google TV.

The doc says a 10 year life cycle? Only if you can upgrade it yourself... Or we will yet again in 10 years be stuck with shitty games because the console technology "isn't there yet"

 

[bchampy]

If Microsoft by way of the new Xbox will let me pick and choose the cable channels I want I'll buy it day 1.

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

That would be cool.

Fuck yes. XBox > Playstation
