  Lets Talk XBox 540.

  We all know that the 360 is doing great. Excellent games, demos, beta's, and content. But its unfortunate that the console is still holding on to DVD. With the DVD's max capacity of 8.5GB it's hard for dev's to create long, exciting games. And thats why most dev's are switching to PS3 to provide more content for the players.

  So let's talk about Microsofts next console. Perhaps it will be titled the XBox 540? Or 720. But thats besides the point.
  We want Hardware and software.
  
  Here the rundown of what SHOULD be in the next XBox:
  
  Direct X 11. Yea we want it, now give it. You gave us Dx9, when you had Dx10 already made. C'mon.
  
  HDMI intergraded. It wasn't in the first Xbox's even though it was available when they came out.
  
  Wi-Fi. Of course the new Wi-Fi will probably be very fast. Like i dont know 10GPS? (10 gigabites per second). That be nice. And it better be built in.
  
  Chip or Disc tech. Chips can hold alot of memory, so maybe we could have games on them? Displayed in a Native 1080p.
  The Disc's could be like a 4 layed Blu-ray. Thats 100gb of memory on a disc. Wowzors.
  
  Big harddrive. One that has a terabite of memory, and we can change it too. Like the PS3.
  
  More controllers. Yea i want like 10. Hahaha.
  
  MP4 and more audio and video tech. I'd like to watch my vids from my computer. It'd be nice to view them on a nice big 50+ inch HDTV.
  
  More USB ports. 3 is not enough for all the things you provide us (Wireless adaptor, Camera, Charger, etc.)
  
  Controllers with built in batteries. The ps3's last so long, and feel so light. Do it MS.
  
  
  Well thats as much as I can think of.
  Now I know some of the things listed were available and you may say, "Well MS new most of consumers dont have HDMI tv's, and such." That doesn;t mean they shouldn't have it in. What about the others?
  
  Lastly I like to hear some of your concerns for the next Xbox that you would like to see or have in it.
  
  Thanks for the read. Peace.

  Before We Can't Stop it....

  I advise you to read the recent article on the beating to death on the gamespot latest news. You can view it here.

  Sometimes, you can take things to the perfect degree. For example after takng down a team 6-1 in a 7 rounds game, and have the respect to say good game, and such. Other times, you can take it a little too far. For example instead of having respect for your opponent you complete make fun of their skills, and talents and bring them down.
  
  And yet other times, you can over do it. In this case in the article, a guild killed the rival guilds character in-game. Now isn't that what you allowed to do? Unless they cheated, did it unfairly, or jumped him. Non-the-less he should have known PVP is allowed. Instead of attacking the guild back in-game they decided to meet up somewhere and battle it out in real life.
  
  Now to me, this sounds a little obserd. If your character dies by PVP well I'm sorry, you chose to be in a PVP territory, realm, and/or such. You have to get that through your head before anything else. But to battle it out in real life, knowing that something, and most likely will, go wrong.

  The man was beaten to death. Over a character. Over a game. Now it seems to me, you took it too far. And on a personnal note: What was going through your mind when you did this? Seriously.

  Another case in the article is a person playing a video game, gets called down for supper. And gets aggrovated and then beats the person who called them down, his/her own grandmother, to death. Now in a way, I can relate to this. Not literally, but in a way.

  My parents have asked me to do things while I was playing video games, and of course my silly little self got pretty angry. But thankfully, I controlled myself, and just went with it. In the end, I got a couple new games so I was happy.
  Another time was when I was lossing too many game matches. I got very, very pissed. Again, I controlled myself, and took my angre out of a pillow, then watched a movie.
  
  Over the years, I've been getting more aggressive and can become easily aggrivated. After reading these stories, I've come to the realization that I, myself, am going to hurt something, or someone if I don't stop.
  
  Unfortunatly this person and the guildies have already reached the level of that angre that I am very soon to reach.
  
  So it has come down to this. Stop playing my games, and sell them. Or continue. I know that this is the cause of many things that have happend over the years.
  
  If you think I shouldn't stop, well thats your opinion, and I thank you for that. But overall, I myself want to stop.
  
  I also want to get this point across: It's a game. A life simulator, a puzzler, and a magical thing. But when you take it to this degree, you need to take a long break. Your going to hurt alot of people, and things.
  
  
  Thanks for your time.

  A Little Respect, Can Go A Long Way!

  It's been quite some time now. Quite some time, since I've seen some respect on the Online Community. Alls I have been seeing for the past few months, is non-stop ranting, disrespect, and stupidity. All of this, is from Fanboyism, and pure ignorance.

  Why? Well it could be because the opposite (enemy) console is ahead in sales, or has had another delayed game. Personnaly, the more time you need with a game, the better it turns out. So since the other console has so called "Gained the Lead" doesn't mean that it's war. But that is what everyone makes it look like.
  
  From the kid who hates Playstation, and loves Xbox, to the "YOUR CONSOLE F***ING SUCKS!" is just a little bit harsh. Yes you may have Gained the Lead For the Win, but actually you really didn't.

  In history, we have seen colonies destroy themselves because of pure hatred of something that doesn't really even matter. Now I'm not saying that video games don't matter, just that it's Entertainment, and not Real Life. But some would disagree, and yes I understand your thinking, but be realistic here. Anyways, back to destruction. In video games, you usually see a path of destruction behind every gamer. Wether its good destruction, or bad destruction, you have it and don't deny it.

  Everyone has made fun of another console, person, video game, etc. in their lives. Sometimes it's for good, sometimes its out of pure idioticness.

  So I'm here to change that. Changing that by saying "Can't We All Just Get Along? ". If your thinking no, then your sadly mistaken. You say no one can change their ways. Again, wrong.

  See once a Humans interests have come to a True Realisation, they instantly want to change what has happened in the past, to improve the future. As with Global Warming.

  So picture Video Gaming Online today. There is WAY to much disrespect for the other console, and players. Sometimes, it's to the point of War instead of Fun. You may think making fun of someone else is humurous, well I can tell you its not. As seen with many Gun Shootings, which have all started with bullying.

  So now picture this. No more Video Games. Why? Oh simply because everyone thought they were the best, and alls they did was bring down others, and soon the entire market crashed because everyone was sick of the stupidity that was all over it. Question: Do you really want this to happen? Now yes it can happen, and sooner or later it will.

  So now the point of this. Be polite, be curtious, and DONT be Disrespect by bring someone down simply because their skill, intellegance, or abilities are not equal to yours. They can beat you at something else. Keep your temper cool, and always say " Good Game!". It does go along way.

  A organism at war with itself, is doomed.

  Thanks for reading.
