Second is Xbox 360 slim power supply, this kind of power supply is different with previous Xbox 360. Power supply is smaller and much lighter. Several gamer think does this power will be much power full compare with previous Xbox 360? Well i think it is and because Xbox 360 Slim consume less power than old one so we don't need bigger shape of power supply.

The last one is additional peripheral such as AV cable and headset for Xbox LIVE. Quite disappointing that HDMI cable is not included in Xbox 360 Slim 250 Gb but you can buy ir separately. LAN cable is not included also but i think this because Xbox 360 Slim already built it WiFi to connect to the internet.

Xbox 720 console, rumor and release date

Microsoft next console game as known as Xbox 720 already rumor in some gamers, some gamers keep asking when Microsoft will launch next generation of Xbox 360 as Xbox 360 already seventh years since it first appearance on 2005. Sony and Nintendo already announce their next game console, Sony already stated that Playstation 4 will launch on end of 2012 or on 2013 and Nintendo also announce their now working on Nintendo Wii U (we still not know when Wii U will launch). So when Xbox 720 will launch?

Xbox 720 Specification

Next Xbox 360 must have hardware specification more than Xbox 360. I would say minimum next Xbox 360 must support 1080p resolution with consist at least 2 graphic processor. With this 2 graphic processor Xbox 720 can excellent graphic as “Avatar movie”.  Neil Robinson as AMD Director of ISV relationships said that it is possible. AMD also promise to make all next Xbox 720 games more interactive by making Non Playable Character (NPC) can interact by their self. Some source said Graphic card will be AMD chip 7000 and this cards will not work under CrossFire mode, instead 2 graphic cards will work simultaneously rendering Xbox 720 graphic.

How about processor chip? Rumor said that Xbox 720 processor will consist of 4 or 6 core, 1 core handling Kinect – latest Microsoft controller, 1 core as Operation system, and other 4 core handling graphic and in order to prevent piracy this console require internet connection.

Other hardware specification is Blue ray drive as Sony with Playstation 3 already equipped their console with Blue Ray device so I think it is mandatory for Microsoft to provide blue ray on their Xbox 720, adding blue ray will allow gamers to play HD movie using blue ray disk. 1080p graphic combine with Blue Ray device, I think this will become good combination.
