At an event earlier today, Microsoft unveiled the next Xbox - the third model, but confusingly named Xbox One. The big focus was TV, integrated Kinect, and all the other stuff we all expected to be forced down our throats. I think it took them 25 minutes to actually come to what should be the core of the story: gaming. Nothing groundbreaking in the gaming department, except for how Microsoft intends to handle the used games market and borrowing games from friends: pay up, buddy!

It's a great "idea" from Nintendo and it makes you wonder why others haven't adopted this. Not only is this good for the customers, but I think it makes them sell more consoles too. I'm sure most people have a few favorite games they'd surely miss if they buy a new console that can't play them.
You have pretty modern Game Boys. I have a Game Boy Color!
I also have a Game Boy Pocket, which I was playing Donkey Kong Land on almost causing us to miss the bus in Spain back to The Netherlands.
