News - Report says Microsoft Xbox 720 to be revealed in April

I look forward to April, although I'm praying that the 720 is some kind of box packaging, not that "funky" splat shown in the artist's impression - one thing I particularly like about the current 360 packaging is that it's able to stand flat (ideal for putting in a TV cabinet) or 'tall' (great for minimal footprint).

I've got to wonder whether the games houses have been pressing Sony/Microsoft to move to "commodity" hardware, since that'd obviously make porting a bit easier, (I'm guessing that Microsoft are doing things to make it far easier to port between Windows and XBox). Although an APU-based box strikes me as being a little bit underpowered now in which case what is it going to be like in 2-3 years time?

AMD Fusion processors are most definitely not packaged 'Quad Flat Pack' like that poorly rendered image you're attaching suggests. We've seen them packaged in PGA and BGA, but most certainly not QFP, and most definitely not with teal painted contacts! ROFLMAO You need to get out more... as that's a train-spotter style comment.
