Interesting if true. I think it's a good sign for Nintendo from a 3rd party multiplat perspective

frick that shite. It looks like a really shitty idea. I'd rather just have a normal setup.

Seems like there has been a lot of conjecture as to the 720 specs, and not a whole lot of truth.

Yeah it's all rumor, but it's fun to talk about.

I'm in favor of a media-system type deal for the next-generation. We are just now seeing some of the "home-media" integration that was promised when the 360 launched, and I'm quite satisfied with it.

I have no problem with a media-system, but I want a regular controller to play games.

Microsoft did pretty damn well considering the quality of the 360 controller coming from only one generation leap. I hope they stick with a similar controller as well, I use it for 360 and PC because I'm so comfortable with it.

Did you read the article?

quote:

More specifically, the magazine reports that in addition to a high-definition screen with touch-screen controls, the controller includes "traditional [Xbox 360] buttons and sticks."

As for how the supposed tablet controller might work with the console, the magazine suggests it could serve a number of functions. According to the magazine, "It could be a remote control when you're watching TV, a browser when you're on the Internet, extra buttons and information when you're playing a game, or a portable display when you want to take your game with you."

I'm having trouble getting "regular controller" out of a tablet with an HD screen (and some sticks and buttons) on it? He probably got the same idea, hence the want for a regular controller without a screen

It's going to be much smaller than a tablet. Not much bigger than the current configuration.
