There has been a lot of chatter lately about the next generation consoles on the interwebs. Most (all) of them are really rumours however reading this about the next Playstation made me go whaaaaa?

Another rumour is that you won't be able to share the games with other consoles, or sell them second-hand.

This is because new games will be 'locked' to one PlayStation account. You also won't be able to play PS3 games on it as it won't be "backwards-compatible".

So more loaning games? Seriously?

RAMORE, Ont. - Millions of dollars in coins and a shipment of candy were scattered across an Ontario highway Wednesday following the crash of a Brinks tractor-trailer that seriously injured two people.
Both of the men who were in the Brinks truck were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The crash happened around 4 a.m. on Highway 11, north of Kirkland Lake in northeastern Ontario, when the truck crossed the centre line and collided with a rock face, said Ontario Provincial Police Const. Marc Depatie.
The crash also caused a number of chain-reaction collisions, but the injuries were minor, he said.
One of the trucks involved in the resulting crashes was carrying candy, he said.
That candy, along with $3 million to $5 million worth of loonies and toonies were strewn on the road and in the surrounding bush.

Interesting discovery
Things that make you go hmmm
Since there already has been chatter about the 720 being released this year.

This weeks XS Cargo flyer has the 250 GB "slim" 360 for $228. So when stuff starts appearing in XS Cargo that usually means one of two things:

1) The manufacturer is clearing them out ASAP
2) They are refurbished, this would usually be indicated on the ad.

However, seeing as how there has never been any consoles for sale at XS Cargo during the life cycle (refurbed or not), this could also be an indicator of what is coming. ie Microsoft is clearing out the old consoles for the new.

That said, I still think it is too soon, perhaps they will announce it E3, build hype for a year then release xmas season 2013?

Yes, I know I posted it here: http://www.herdofcats.ca/node/7543#comment-14409

Can't tell you how I know...but I have been shown definite proof that the new xbox 720 is coming shortly. Regardless of what microsoft says. and it's being called the 720 too. That's confirmed now. Based on the materials I've seen, I'd say it going to ship this summer.

Piss off a french... uh I mean frog
