That would be a ridiculous device. I would have to buy another one.

kewlkat0075505d ago

Cause I def would get one...

I had the 1st-gen Zune and said I would wait till a couple of gens before getting one again, even though I did like some features on there.

XxSpiiKeZxX5505d ago

right now the itouch goes for about 200-230$ depending on how you buy
if MS truly wants this device to be successful they will have to make it cheaper which is possible,
if the starting price is around 180 then ill get one but itouch has a lot of support so i dnt know
it has a web browser but if it doesnt feature programs like aim or user created applications then the device wont have much recognition

TheAntiFanboy5505d ago

Dude, if it comes with a custom equalizer that lets you change 5 bands or more, then I would buy it in an instant.

FlameBaitGod5505d ago

If this is true..... first day purchase

El_Colombiano5505d ago

The Nvidia Tegra tech caught my attention. If this is true, I will be seriously inclined to get one.

You can come back here when/if ZuneHD launches and quote me too.

Kushan5505d ago (Edited 5505d ago )

NVIDIA Tegra powered.

This for me is enough to consider this device. If you've seen any if the demos or videos of Tegra, you'll know why.

If this has the right price, it'll be a surefire purchase for me.

KingKionic 5505d ago

i agree . but is this to good to be true?

El_Colombiano5505d ago

Exactly. The next PSP should carry Tegra tech.

Former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider pours scorn on EA's AI dreams.

"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".

Publishers see gaming as another stock market.

isarai1d 11h ago

I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.

Friends don’t let friends buy EA or Ubisoft.

I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.

Phil Spencer and the Battle for Xbox’s Soul

Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 17h ago

This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in

rlow122h ago

I disagree, Xbox from the get go innovated and changed the industry. They did a lot of firsts and standardized a lot of others. It wasn’t till the beginning of the Xbox1 era that things started to go south.

Stevonidas18h ago

Yep, although I’d argue it started going to shit when they tried to hock Kinect on their audience instead of continuing to invest in their studios and IPs. 2001-2010 Xbox was peak gaming, though.

rlow117h ago

@Stevonidas
I agree they never should have focused on it after the 360 era. But you do have to remember they were faked out by the huge volumes of Kinects sold. To quote info on Wikipedia, “Project Natal, It was first released on November 4, 2010, and would go on to sell eight million units in its first 60 days of availability.” So if your Xbox and see these huge sales on a peripheral where are you going to put some money? Criticism in hindsight is worthless…..if only we could all see our future. In other wards they had no way of knowing. Plus they had engagement numbers and a lot of signs pointed to people wanting it.

Their biggest mistake wasn’t the Kinect, but unlike Sony after the PS3 debacle. They didn’t double on down on exclusive good games. The other huge mistake was letting Call of Duty go to Sony.

Phil wants Xbox to be as soulless as him!

Tacoboto1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.

Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.

Markdn1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
