Damn. Sorry to hear that. Especially if you have as low usage as it sounds.

Well, when I am done with my year with ATT I'll have to look into that. I'm getting the new customer rate for a year at 19.95 but then it will go up to $45. $33 is reasonable for a 6mbps rate.

Sony does not own bluray dammit, like 30 companies do..

And I hope MS does not go all cloud either, I am sure it has been talked at above but that would screw the consumers over, because internet costs will skyrocket.. Hell it is bad enough now with movies, imagine doing that with games all the time in streaming..

I have never understood the anti blu ray stance either.

Just call it the X3.

The way I heard it, MS called it the Xbox 360 because they didn't want the consumer to have to choose between the "Playstation 3" and the Xbox 2." Clever on the marketing side of things, I suppose.

On a side note, I just looked up what I'm getting from my ISP, as I didn't really recall - 10mbps with no cap at $53/mo. It's a grandfathered rate and plan. Is that worth a damn?

Here $53 on Cox gets you 12-18mbps with a 250gb cap. On ATT DSL it would be $43 for 6mbps and a 150gb cap.

Next generation Xbox more powerful than ever?



By Mike Wehner, Tecca | Today in Tech

The current video game console generation is entering its twilight years, and with that inevitability comes the unceasing rumors of what each company's next hardware will be capable of. Nintendo has already shown its hand by unveiling the Wii U, and now some tasty tidbits are beginning to surface regarding the next Xbox from Microsoft. Popularly nicknamed the Xbox 720, some new, well-sourced rumors suggest that it will be six times as powerful as the current console.

The Xbox 360 is no slouch, and it can still play host to the hottest new releases, but the hardware is approaching its 6th birthday and some serious advancements have been made in the world of graphics processing in the last half decade. The new Xbox will reportedly run on a derivative of AMD's 6670 graphics chip, which supports 1080p HD, 3D, and linking to multiple external displays.

Compared to the Wii U, the Xbox 720 should be roughly 20% more powerful, though the stats of the two systems appear to be close enough that players may not notice a difference. Like Microsoft, Sony has yet to officially reveal anything about its followup to the PlayStation 3, but based on their console release history, a new machine is undoubtedly in the works. Where the PlayStation 4 will stack up in comparison to the new systems by Nintendo and Microsoft is anyone's guess.

6670? Is that a ****ing joke? I really hope that article was written by someone really, really uniformed.

Xbox 720 Will Be Six Times as Powerful as Current Gen

Sources confirm fall 2013 release
, detail graphics processing power

The next Xbox will ship to retailers in late October or early November of next year with six times the processing power of the Xbox 360, sources close to the project have told IGN.

Following initial reports from tech blogs Fudzilla and SemiAccurate, our sources have confirmed that mass production of the system's GPU will indeed begin by the end of 2012 but will not, however, be based on AMD's 7000 series Southern Islands GPU. Instead, the processor will be derived from the 6000 series, which was introduced last year. More specifically, it will be akin to the Radeon HD 6670, which offers support for DirectX11, multidisplay output, 3D and 1080p HD output. The chip currently has a market price of upwards of $79.99.

In real terms, the Xbox 720's raw graphics processing power is expected to be six times that of the Xbox 360 and will yield 20-percent greater performance than Nintendo's forthcoming console, the Wii U.

Developers are likely to receive development kits based on the system's final configuration in August. Projected pricing for the console was not provided
