Re: Talking Point: What the Steam Box Means for the Future of the Xbox

Steambox seems like the next step. I have a laptop and i would pay money to play the same games on there on my tv. So many times I want to play something but my girl is using the computer! Problem solved! Throw cloud saves in too and rock on! I'll buy one because it'll have the games day one! If they could create a digital rental service id be so game!

Re: Talking Point: How Important is Backward Compatibility?

For people that already have an xbox360 it's no big deal but for people that are new to the system it can win people over to xbox, since the 360 has a huge library. I would pay extra not to need two consoles to get the full xbox experience. I think back compat should be a standard feature moving forward as graphical leaps are smaller and people want the better fidelity without losing the ability to play their whole library! If i upgrade my phone or pc i can still play the old games, xbox should be no different as leaps are now evolutionary and not revolutionary. This isn't a bad thing, I'd pay 400 for better bioshock but that doesnt mean infinite is now doodoo! That thinking is a product of the early days and every other hardware has adapted to the new ecosystem, console should be similar.
