Huh.

If this is the case...what would be the point of the Xbox^3?

Discuss since I refuse to look at comments on The Escapist.

I'ts microsofts way of NOT developing a new game system and convincing people to buy both a normal PC and a branded PC with a cheap disk drive thats got a slight modification to make it difficult to play the games any other way, but I'm certain that the xbox wont be able to do everything a normal PC can, just to make sure you do buy 2 computers. Using an existing OS and standardizerd PC components to make a gaming console is a cheap way, modding that to lock out features instead of building something from scratch to have the features needed makes sense from a capitalistic dick bag point of view. I approve.

Point at this I will.

Its rumours and nothing else right now.

Also, you shouldn't be reading The Escapist 8D

Hence "Rumor" in the title. :P

While having a browser (even IE) would be nice on an Xbox, this would be a huge dickbag move.

Sometimes game companies really piss me off -_-"
Well they are just rumors right now...but still. Wait, why do I care? I couldn't even afford it for 3 years if it came out right now.....RAAAAAWR.

Fuck it all I'm goin ol' skoo.
