Given that I don't know anything about it yet, no.
But even if I like it somewhat I still doubt that I would end up buying it.

we'll have to see what the finalized specs are, but if I have to pay for live, then no.

I did own the original Xbox, and I loved Halo 2. If the specs are decent enough, and console isn't too expensive, I may take a hard look a it. My main problem with Xbox is paying for Live, and lack of Japanese-style games. I wouldn't rule their next console out though.

How a non Xbox owner sees Xbox:

-RRoD
-Little exclusives
- Pay for online

Offcoruse the poll is what it is. That said, its way too early. MS has been prepping next gen studios for the last couple years, the next hardware will be reliable to avoid any more messy PR blunders (plus Xbox 1 was very reliable, id say MS is due), and MS can implement a PS Plus approach to Live Gold to make the price easier to stomach.

E3 will answer these questions.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I don't really see myself owning an Xbox Durango because Microsoft is probably going to charge me to play online or to access my subscriptions I already pay for ( Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. ) Plus, they are probably going to shove Kinect 2.0 in my face.

@OP: Microsoft seems to be making a serious effort to invest in more first-party games, which makes the future bright for Xbox 720.

With all due respect to all Microsoft fans, i will never buy an xbox720 because i got burned with the 360 i lost over a 1000$ on it and they all broke in the first 3months.

I'll wait till 2 years after launch for both the Ps4 and the 720 to see who if they are reliable.



Yay!!!

I've never owned an Xbox. But if they where to make Xbox live free and Provide more exclusives that aren't shooters, then I'd consider it.

So they all (how many by he way) broke in the first 3 months and you lost over 1000 dollars.  

How?  

Btw did you ever play online? 

Back in 2007 the 360 was 399$ i got it cuz of all the 3rd party exclusives like Dead Rising,Saint's Row,BioShock,Mass Effect, i didnt wanna get a ps3 because it was to damn expensive and didnt have any game i want i basically hated the ps3 back than i thought it would get dicuntinued , 1st Xbox rroded 2nd one rroded so when 3rd one broke i just said screw it and baught a ps3 still working BTW, Dont act like you only had one Xbox, And yes i played online may i ask why?
