Next Console Update?

I heard rumors that there was going to be one in a couple of weeks, but again that's just rumors. I hope they come out with one soon though to fix party chat, battery indicator, and so on. I wish they could at least give us an indication of what's going
on and what to expect and when to expect it.

I am not ready at all for the next gen console. Very glad the new PS3 or new 360 didnt come out this year.

Can I ask why? I'm quite curious it has been 7 years the hardware is quite dated and graphics wise we've peaked, and no publishers aside from Sony are taking risks and we've lost Twinkies and Wonderbread. So aside from backlogs why?

1. New hardware always comes with new problems. (PS3 YROD / 360 RROD and many other issues)

2. I have an overwhelming amount of games to play on the 360 already. There are enough games already on the 360 to keep me busy for a lifetime. Constantly backlogged.

3. I have a PS3 for exclusives and Blu-ray that mainly collects dust. I know I wont buy a PS4.

4. I am still backlogged on hundreds of PC and PS2 games.

5. I just recently bought a brand new slim 360 320gb hd.

I respectfully disagree with number 1. This gen is really the only one that I can remember with hardware issues.

You really dont remember all the issues the PS1 or PS2 had? My very first PS2 out of the box didint work. The 2nd one directly from Sony had a failure and the drive locked up and smoke poured out. The 3rd one lasted forever. I still have the 3rd one.
Just about every console has had launch problems. The only way to avoid it is not buy the console day 1. .

.

The ONLY console I never had a problem with was the black brick xbox but I didnt buy that at launch. I didnt buy it until a couple years after the xbox existed. So it was an updated better version. But I seriously NEVER had 1 single problem with mine or
my wifes brick xbox. Never had a single problem with any of the games either. But every console has issues at launch. It has always been that way. The 360 has been by far the most defective console we owned. Just terrible. . Its the worst console I have
owned, but on the other hand I have had the most fun in my life with this console. Its a double edged sword.

I want great games. They can keep all their apps, most of which can be had elsewhere, for free.

[/quote]I dont think so, I just bought a $200 sony internet player with google tv/google crome,an it sucked big time, IT only has netflix,I thought it would have NHL games? NO, NBA games? NO, MLB games? NO, xbox has more movie selections too, one thing
not mentioned on here is a USB Blue-ray player?? I dont even have to burn movies anymnore.. doubt xbox would add that though.

[/quote]Xbox has always had USB functionality for playing media.

 

Yeah i'd love to know, the party chat problem is one that shouldn't be there. After testing pre-sale some of the problems must have been evident. Oh there's 2 of us playing fifa in a party.... one person joins oh it's made the original 2 go to dashboard...
plus the other problems with playing different games... when microsoft fix this it will be a decent system

 

They could quickly fix setting the party chat to be on as default. Why would you be joining a party if you did not want to talk with them?

 

I don't think we'll get it til March, hopefully they update this site 2, everyones cards are outdated

 

@snoopy... Don't claim that without a link. You will be ripped apart for claiming something like that with no source.

No rumour. Its true

[/quote]

How do you know that, could you post a link please ?

 

All I want is "recent players" and a decent achievement system.

Oh, and storage management..

 

I hope its not the usual spring/fall update when its going to be released that would suck.

 

I would like to see an on screen eject button for disc based media or a Kinect voice command for it.

 

I would like "Xbox Scroll UP/DOWN" for the Oneguide

 

@ThanatosXRS was wondering the same thing. Not only updating this site but smartglass as well, so far its laid out for the 360 still?

 

Ms can update each section eg friends etc they don't need to bring out a whole new OS update

 

I want the light on the controller to flash every now and then when the battery is low. Want custom soundtracks back, cd ripping would be nice. They will eventually get there with the system, just hope it doesn't take them years.
