Yeah, reading that X720 would have seperate units for BC was almost a shock. A good shock though because it proves MS think BC is important enought to put it in there one way or another.

Further, if X720 has BC then by all means Sony should have backwards compability too, don't you think?

What else have you picked up from the document?

Will it have 4GB total RAM shared between CPU and GPU or will the GPU have another 2GB of video-RAM perhaps? So 6GB in total. (I hope so)

I hated their focus on platform integration, kinect this and glasses that. And their target for hardware power in X720 in that Doc said everething between x4 to x8. But I want x10.

Check out my comparison thread.

I updated it with anything that seemed plausible based on other rumors and simple logic.

4GB seems what they are headed too but with all the new features and multitasking, etc, I'm surprised nothing has hinted to separate pools or RAM for CPU/GPU. idk, still a long time before release and a lot more info surely to come.

The power focus of 6x times is what I always considered most likely and really, you can't hate the added smart features. If they dont' do that, you'll eventually want a box that does. I know I want a GoogleTV now, but I've been waiting as I figured I'd let the system mature first and see what companies do. With the proof that the new systems may have these features, well then that's perfect.

The only reason I bought a PS3 over 360 as a second system was due to bluray and free multiplayer.

Okay. But I dont even know what Google TV does. What benefit do you get from it compared to just normal cabel-TV?
