21st May Xbox reveal CONFIRMED!!!! Release in November now with sauce

[quote]Previously, on the Train2Game blog, we reported rumours, that the next Xbox may have to always be connected to the internet. It seems, as time goes on, those rumours may be true. Microsoft analyst Paul Thurrot has revealed that Microsoft will reveal its next-generation Xbox at an event on 21st May and the console will launch in early November. Thurrot claims “Looking at some of the stuff I got a long time ago, it actually says ‘must be internet-connected to use’ in the notes. That’s all I have, but it does say that.” Mr Thurrot also revealed the console will be named just “Xbox” and the Microsoft’s machine will be “expensive”. He estimated they will cost around $500 (roughly £326, although likely higher in the UK) but a lower price $300 (£195) model will also be available with some form of subscription.[/quote] So still no confirmation on the always on feature, i imagine it can be taken out fairly quickly in case consumers have a bad reaction to it hence the lack of confirmation.

That part about a subscription also tells me they're still going to charge for xbox live, which is a really dumb move with the whole always-on thing.
