Rumor: MS to allow 3rd pary manufacturers to make 360 hardware... - Jun 25, 2008 10:02
...and also another rumor about Kratos making an appearance in Soul Caliber IV

I hope the 360 rumor is true, and if the Kratos rumor is (which it most likely is) I wonder who the 360 version will have since they' ve already used a spartan in DOA4.

Hmmm. The hardware thing would be an interesting way to deal with the bluray pissue. Let someone else take the risk of trying to develop and market a bluray compatible xbox360. If it sells, great way to cut a little deeper into Sony. If it flops, who gives a crap, MS didn' t make it.

They' re probably just trying to cut production costs though.

I thought that M$ bought logitech a few months ago with a few to developing and selling M$ / logitech hardware?

Also isn' t or wasn' t there something in place between M$ and Toshiba to take over the Manufacture of 360' s?

An Xbox360 not made by MS might mean an Xbox360 that DOESN' T FAIL! I know that sounds like science fiction fantasy, but it could be true!

Maybe they' ll allow Sega to make something with 360 hardware inside under their name; call it a DC2 and sell it in Japan?

10 years ago I would' ve been cool with that, but currently I don' t want Sega making games, much less making consoles.

That deal went through? They should have done just like Yahoo and said HELL NO! to M$. Now they are going to destroy one of the few creative companies out there.

How was Logitech " creative" ? They made (quality)PC and gaming hardware accessories, its not like thats a creative endeavor. And after Yahoo' s stocks plummeted, theyre back to reconsidering the deal with MS, it was on Yahoo news yesterday.
I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.
