    Jasper Models, They said it's gonna be out this august, any news on it?.

    And what is this "XBOX 540"(XBOX 360 Slim) that i've been hearing about. Is it just rumors?.

    I also heard about XBOX 720 that is due on 2010. If I waited and buy the rumored slim, is a year of gaming worth it?.

    i believe MS said that their next console would be in 2012. as for the 360 slim idk at all and as for the jasper thingy i forget the date. 16/9 is it?


    i'd wait and get a jasper onein your shoes. besides if there is a "360 slim", it will probably be more expensive anyway.

    I'm pretty sure all those things you mentioned are rumors.  The only one I would think has any truth to it is the chipset one.

    I doubt a new xbox will be out in 2010 so I think you'd be safe buying a 360

    MS never said anything of the sort.

    I think they all should release the next gen consoles in 2013.

    So basically like 5-6 years for the PS3 there, and 7-8 years for the 360?

    Meh, thats way too short for me, especially this gen, I want my system to last at least 8 years. And I mean 8 years strong, not like the gamecube or something.

    I don't think any of them are going to last for 8 years. Maybe 4-6 years.

    Don't bother waiting to get a new console. It's almost as useless as waiting for the next apple computer  - Theres always one around the corner.

    besides if you got a slim it would probably double your chances of rrod.

    Well, not really I guess. Didn't the 360 come out in 05'? So five to six years sounds about right.

    I like how everybody subtracts Sentry's comments because his name is blue. It might be time to change the color, Sentry.

    5 to 6 years would be one of the shortest console generations yet. The Xbox could manage to last until 2012 or 13 easily, especially if they came out with a redesign next year or '10.

    for the most part it was his sony alignment and then avatar that had the playstation logo on it...but i made an addtion to his post cause it wasn't fanboyish.
    P.S: microsoft needs to keep redoing the hardware in the 360 thats how sony got so many sales last gen, there are like 12 revisions to the ps2s hardware.

    Dude, whatever happens,  happens. I would have to guess if they were to make a 360 slim, they would call it something like that instead of 540 to avoid customer confusion. And as for the 720 or next xbox, who knows, it could be 2010, 2011, 2012, or they might now make another who knows, I think they will make another and I think at the absolute earliest it would come out in 2010, latest 2012, I think 2011 would be the best year for MS to release the 720.

    I would GUESS that Microsoft will look to push the next generation as they did with the current generation. A five-year cycle (Nov. 2005 - 2010) isn't crazy talk.

    I think the 5 year console cycle is fine. There's no need to play everything at the same resolution for the rest of our lives. I wanna see some of that creepy realistic shit that no one likes, but in every game. I want a 5 core processor and maybe 512+128 megs of RAM on my console. It's time for CHANGE. It's not like new consoles cost all that much on launch. Any 13 year old kid that doesn't spend his part time job money on booze and pot every weekend can save up for one in a month.

    5 years? I don't know that's too short IMO, at LEAST 7 or 8 years really. I don't want to make an investment and dump a ton of money into a console and the games and whatnot, every 5 years. :(

    I'd prefer it to be longer as well but most consoles last 5-6 years tops and then we get a new one.

    my question is do you have google

    "So far, no word on whether these units use the new (and presumably more reliable) “Jasper” motherboard."

    Current Consoles graphics are barely staying to level with pc, i think its a good time to release new ones ( 2011 ),
    With that being said, id love to see my current xbox last abit longer then planned.
