RUMOR: Next Xbox to be Always Online, No Secondhand Games, Blu-ray Discs, and a New Kinect




The next Xbox will always be online eliminating secondhand sales, uses 50GB Blu-ray discs, and will ship with an updated Kinect, according to a new report.

Sources with first-hand experience of Microsoft’s next generation console have told Edge that the console will be completely committed to online functionality, but games will still be made available at retail. Retail games will ship on 50GB Blu-ray discs and will include an activation code, meaning they will have no value beyond the initial user.
The sources also confirmed that the rumored next generation specs are pretty accurate, meaning that the console will contain an AMD eight-core x64 1.6GHz CPU, a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution, and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.
Finally it was revealed that the next Xbox will ship with a new version of Kinect, which is said to be more reliable and responsive.
Many believe that Sony will announce its next generation console at an event on February 20, but the question is when will Microsoft make its move?

Jtag/RGH - HOW TO SETUP THE FSD/F3 MULTIDISC PLUGIN

First thing you need to do is update to FSD 2.0 RC 1.8, after it downloads and installs it will reboot into the new dash. Make sure that all of the games discs are visible in your games list, if you have disc 2 inside the disc 1 folder either take it out or add the path to disc 2 in your content paths settings. Once you are sure all your multi disc games have all of their discs visible in the games list you can go into the settings and clear your DB(utilities -> settings -> general settings -> reset settings -> clear data). This will rescan everything and download all of your art again, this may take some time depending on how much of a filthy pirate you are Posted Image. While it does that FTP into your JTAG and delete the swap.xex you have in the root of your harddrive if you have setup the dashlaunch disk swapper plugin, you should also delete you multi.ini. Edit your launch.ini and remove the call for swap.xex in the plugin section.

Ok so now you have everything downloaded and multi disc games auto swap for you YAY! Now having 2 copies of the same game in your games list is starting to bug the shit outta you.... no problem, go to the duplicate game in your games list and go to the options. Select move game and then no section. Now that game is still in your DB but does not show up in the visual list.

** The Plugin now works with extracted and GoD games in Freestyle Dashboard 2.0 RC 2.0+
