Originally (well, they were rumors, but from trusted sources) the Nexbox/Durango/720/whatever you want to call it was originally planned to be much cheaper on launch than it's competing consoles while still utilizing decent hardware to run any game at full console potential when optimized. Hey, it's possible. There are PCs for just over 200$ that can do anything a modern console can.
I was actually excited for it, truth be told. Ah well, until Microsoft confirms it, I still have hope this "always online DRM" thing will get shot down during final development.

The guy who seemed to essentially confirm the always online thing turned out to be kidding around.
Though, it's still unclear if they're going ahead with this DRM. |

@awsum
There may be hope of the "cheaper on release" thing, but if you see the rumors, it won't turn out good.

The dollar must be worth less, wherever you live.
That, or import electronics must be pretty high-end.
No offense intended.

And some guy on the thread said he was joking around. Makes sense, though a scare like that would hurt business.
I can appreciate the humor, though. Considering the SimCity flop.

what country?
in turkey, playstation 2s are still sold for hundreds of dollars, beats (the headphones) are $600+, ipads are over $1000, and new console games games were $120+ (even brink). and turkey is not a poor country, it's currently the 18th richest country in the world, and it's also one of the fastest-growing ones.
it's just crying out for someone to make a business of buying electronics in 'murica and bringing them to turkey. |

It says "rumor" in the description, and within literally 2 seconds in the video.

The video claims it's a rumor, that's the only point I'm trying to make.
We can't pass any judgement until it's announced, and even then, we can't thoroughly until it's released.
