Adam91 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The rumors that have been flying about that the next xbox will require a constant internet connection and used games will not work have been put to rest, so for those who were worried about this can breathe a sigh of relief. Also a report yesterday said that the next xbox will offer an add on that will allow users to use their 360 content on it's successor. More details below This article is from Examiner New information regarding Microsoft’s next-generation home console – codenamed Durango – surfaced on April 10 which suggest that recent rumors proposing that the Xbox 720 will require an always on connection to the internet are in fact false. Likewise, details about backwards compatibility for the Next Xbox have come forth which hint at the possibility that Microsoft’s next-generation home console will support backwards compatibility with Xbox 360 software, however, it will require a special add-on device. On Wednesday, April 10, new information about Microsoft’s Xbox 720 – Durango – came to light as VGLeaks reports that Microsoft will offer an add-on for the Xbox 720 to allow users to play their Xbox 360 games. This add-on will be networked with the Xbox 720 – Durango – to allow for backwards compatibility to all Xbox 360 software – meaning XBLA, digital, and retail Xbox 360 games will be supported. It is said to be similar to the HD-DVD add-on Microsoft released for Xbox 360. Additionally, the rumors of an always online requirement for Xbox 720 are apparently false. The system itself will always be online, but it will not be a requirement to play local content nor will it prevent people from playing used games.

URBAN B0BCAT Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 if this is true there gona lose a lot of customers... ... and if i have ive always been dissapointed with it and flogged it on. games are too risky to purchase full price for some people at full especially when like with me they never reach my expectation. Did you read the article for comprehension? It states that you can breathe a sigh of relief because used games WILL be allowed on the console.

l Xenoes l Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thank god! That was gonna be the deal breaker for me on whether or not I was gonna get the new xbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_Yasyszczuk Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Personally, the idea in which Microsoft would've done any of those things is ridiculous, and those who make these rumours ought to get a life. Microsoft has no intention of limiting the capabilities of the Xbox 720 "Durango", and yes, it will feature an add-on allowing for gamers to transfer their 360 Gamertag and Profile to it, which is a no-brainer. Just wait until May 20, and all your questions will be answered.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
