It is said that the rumored Xbox 720 has been fully detailed to some third-parties of Microsoft, and it is also rumored that it will be released around Christmas time of 2013. And yes, to all of you angry about the 360 not having one, it will include a Blu-ray drive!

To simply put it, due to a recent report, the Xbox 720 WILL have a Blu-ray player/drive.

As for today, multiple sources have confirmed that the 720 will have two GPUs, one of the multiple sources state "It's like two PCs taped together."

Results on a list of the final specs are still TBC (to be confirmed), but the graphics cards are rumored to be equal to AMD's 7000 series GPUs, but "not CrossFire or SLI". However, the GPUs aren't structured normally (like a normal dual PC set-up), but the two chips take turns drawing lines for the same object: Xbox 720′s graphics units will be able to work independently, drawing separate items simultaneously. (Put in mind that the Orbis/PS3 will also be supported by AMD software).

Here are a few more bullet/quick details:

• There will be “four or six” cores to the Xbox 720 CPU, one of which will be reserved for Kinect and one for the OS.
  
• Xbox 720 will require an always-on internet connection as an anti-piracy measure.
  
• It's also been said that the next generation of Kinect will be built into the device as standard.

Also, according to a Tweet by the designer of Crytek, that the codename for the Xbox 720 is "Durango".

Adding onto all of this, no there will not be an announcement for the Xbox 720/Durango within the next year, it will be awhile.

Nice thread bro The new Xbox is sure to bring some stiff competition to the table against Sony.

I do not see this one lasting if it is true... It is just ridiculous.

some of this doesnt make sense if you think about it "always online to stop piracy" so your saying we will be able to hack it like the 360 , they will update some things so you cant exploit software premissions or signatures , im sure sony as well already knows how they will do this online wont change the matter in anyway

I personally don't believe these rumours. You wont see a new xbox until at least 2014. Why would they make a 720 next year when they still have stuff to do on the 360 like Kinect. Just my 2 cents. Xbox's are selling just as well as they have always been and there is still a huge market for the 360.

It sounds good but I still think i'll be buying the PS4

I will be buying the 720, the ps3 was a HUGE Let down, no minecraft, hacked like fuck, and endless things :'(

it will come either before ort after the ps4 in 2014

this is great

4 to 6 cores? The PS3 currently has 7 :dumb: Xbox fails, and two GPU's? The PS3 will have an integrated and dedicated GPU. :lol: PS3 still wins
