Something like...:

We're gonna replace every single X360 unit with an X720 unit for free?



Truth does not fear investigation

Oh goodie i can't wait to spend more money.



I hope the next console gen is not for at least 5 more years.

but xbox live now costs 100$/year,



Um, I'm not a 360 fan, but where is this 180-day figure coming from?



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

^I think it's how long the original xbox lasted superimposed over the 360 lifetime timeline.



Ah. In that case, no dice. If a successor console were coming out that soon, it would have been announced months ago: the Hype Machine takes time to build.

The original xbox was ended in it's prime. I doubt Microsoft will make the same mistake twice.
