Microsoft is doomed.

Sweet mother of god.....

most companys wont do this since it will make them ear less mone for conles.

The only problem is you will need a really fast internet service to stream all of that information.

With a console, all the necessary game data is pulled off of the disc. With no disc, all that data will need to be constantly accessed and downloaded.

Is this the thing that lets you play from a server with actually owning the game?

Not enough info yet. But it could be the beginning of the end for consoles.

I don't think so. Radios, television, and the internet didn't make newspapers obsolete.

Sweet, if it has all of XBL's features, and more, im for it.

Actualy Ang, they did. They're not gone yet, but they're on their way.

The only reason I don't quit Console, is because Computer gaming is so hard, annoying and cash consuming.
You have to constantly update you PCs, because devs these days have an obsession with making sure graphic get constantly better, and making gamers pay for better graphics cards, updating RAM ETC and just around paying too much money.
Consoles are so much easier and all you do is put a disc in and you're playing.

Yeah.. and macs cant game...really.

If you have a computer that was top-of-the-line, you can play games that were published three years after it was updated. And it costs less to update than it does to buy a new console.

Even better, your computer is a media center that can be on par with the Playstation 3, has better web-surfing capabilities, and allows you to chat with your friends, no matter what console they have.

I personally view consoles as a sort of aberration in the history of gaming, like trench warfare and military tactics. Eventually, PCs will win, once we fix the pirating issue.

I think PC are Great, but they are so problematic.
Once they sort out a few thing, then it will be worth it.
But as of now there are a few things Consoles have over PC, and PC have over consoles.
And I agree PC will rain supreme one day but that day is not today, and for now I will play on my 360.
IMO anyway.
