    Does anyone know if its going to happen? Apparently, its supposed to be a cheap set top box for $99 that plays 360 downloaded games and can be used for multimedia? My money is here. Microsoft needs to make this happen!!!

  2. Finally some good news for xbox rumors, no DRM, plays used games and more

    Xbox Mini is more of a pure set-top box. Think an Xbox branded Roku.

    If you already have a 360 why do you need a miniature version of it? And only MS knows the plans they have about future SKUs

  6. I wouldn't mind an xbox 360 media edition.

    1. if it's under 100 dollars it's a fair price

    2. can play xbox arcade and marketplace games

    3. doesn't need to have internal storage nor optical drive it would be nice but eh. as long as you can add your own I would be happier than paying Microsoft 130 dollars for a 320 gig hard drive Xbox Mini set top box :(

    4. make it low power

    5. make it low profile I would actually get one ... once it goes on the discount bin for like 60 bucks Xbox Mini set top box :p but heck I wouldn't mind one

    The most recent rumor I heard is that the cpu they are using is an AMD labtop cpu. If this is true, I wonder if it would still include the ability to play 360 games? That would be an instant buy if it could.

    Why am I not surprised something like this is bound to happen. It has been microsoft's agenda for years.

    I'm sure the 360 wil retail at 99$ soon....... IMO, the OP is a young man with a new console ( possibly his first ) not knowing what the 360 can do.

    I still dont understand the need for a mini xbox. A regular xbox plays games and can stream movies and music so whats the need?

    I could see this doing quite well.

    -

    The 360 certainly has better media streaming capabilities than the One (yes I know. They'll fix it in a patch) and could be quite a competitor to things like a Roku box.

    -

    Only problem with a mini-360 would be the Gold subscription requirement for apps.

  14. "The most recent rumor I heard is that the cpu they are using is an AMD labtop cpu. If this is true, I wonder if it would still include the ability to play 360 games? That would be an instant buy if it could." sort of, the xbone is actually the one using
    a modified amd jaguar cpu (low power like netbooks use but it has 6 physical cores) but the xbox 360 was running a modified power pc (risc) processor running 3 physical cores and hyperthreaded for a total of 6 virtual cores but the PowerPC was never meant
    to run as fast as the xbox 360 (around 3ghz yes there are faster processors but they used cisc architectures uhm Wikipedia is your friend here, and my disclaimer:I am going by memory here Xbox Mini set top box :p ) was running so heat is a real issue on this processor so is power

    The AMD cpu that will most likely be used in the Xbox TV will be an AMD Mullons cpu apparently. On a side note. Xbox one is not my first console, But it is my first Microsoft console. I own many different systems from the past.
