Microsoft Says No New Xbox 360s In 2009

OrochimaruVoldemort writes "Microsoft has said to Engadget that they do not plan on making new consoles available in 2009. This comes from the same company that said it wasn't producing a Blu-ray drive for that Xbox, so it is pure speculation. Expect to see a new console within that year. Engadget also hints: 'Microsoft representative let us know today that "While we don't normally comment on rumors like this, we can tell you that we have no plans to release a new console in 2009."' The rest of us will wait and see. For now, focus on what is available."

  6. 3: Subscription-based games = profit! by Behrooz · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hate to say this, but MMO games and the continuing subscription model limited only by server and bandwidth costs make PCs king of the profit field.

    I hate to say it because I think all of the MMO games currently available are roughly comparable to being consumed by and subsequently shit out of a bear.

    Eventually some visionary developer is going to get it right, though... and they're going to end up richer than God.

    Do you really believe he has a file with a name like ["Ways in which pedantry and literalism have damaged your brain"]? Ask Basil E. Frankweiler what's under her "pedantry" file.
