MS teams up with Samsung to offer Xbox 360 integrated LCD TV's

A source who wishes to stay anonymous (should strongly be treated as a RUMOR) has informed maxconsole that Microsoft has teamed up with Samsung to release its Xbox 360 in other electronics (TV sets). He provided them with what he deems to be the X-Series LCD (XS40R360A model to be exact and claims it will feature the following - built in Xbox 360, 4 USB ports, 512MB HDD space, power button right of light and is set for a November 2008 release in US and Europe. Even if it doesn't turn out to be real, it's a great concept!

[Mr_Showtime1]

I actauly spoke to my friend a few weeks ago about the next xbox or PS having the option to buy it built into a tv(or a seperate box if you wish) this way you could have the best graphics the console could produce etc.

however 512mb disk space??

That could be a problem

[pharmd]

they couldnt effeciently cool it before it was coupled with a heat producing tv, how is thig going to pan out......

in all seriousness, this isnt a surprise... this is actually a good idea

[dachiefsman]

@Mr. Showtime: /agree with the 512MB that is stupid

@Negative: well considering its being manufactured by Samsung I doubt the RRoD should be an issue. nice attempt at reusing a played out joke though...

[juuken]

Negative...rofl. That cracked me up.
But let's hope that this doesn't have any RROD issues.

[Pornlord]

That's funny, Sony and Samsung are sister companies now. They have been sharing TV tech patents since 2004. MS would have to use Sony patent parts in it's TV for this story to be valid. Not saying it's not true, just thought I'd point that out.

[kevoncox]

To the guy above. MS and Sony work together on Sony Viaos and ( i think) Sony smartphones. This is just 1 aspect that they are competing in. Also i think all profits of this will go to Samsung. So it would be Samsung competing with Sony.

[kevnb]

microsoft wouldn't be making the tv, so samsung would be the one using microsoft patents lol

[MikeGdaGod]

all i can say is make sure you get that Best Buy extended warranty.

saved my life.........a couple of times

EDIT:

something else i just thought about.........if you want HD playback, you'll still have to buy a ps3. so what's the point???

[Pornlord]

That may be tru kev, but I don't think all the profits will go to Samsung, my only point was, a lot of companies will be making money from this venture if they actually choose to do it.

[kevoncox]

HD playback?
Hey smarties, you can still watch HD TV. You can hook up a blu-ray player( should be sub 200) pretty soon. If you bought the TV and 360 seprate, you wouldn't be able to play blu-ray either. Why bring it up.

[deeznuts]

Dumb idea. Some things you can effectively bundle together (like an audio receiver) but this, no way.

Unless the price increase is negligible, what if you want to upgrade your tv?

[DG]

About HD playback (BluRay): its not true if Samsung is paying MS for the license they can put anything on top of the 360 hardware including BluRay drive. It would be costly but its possible (then again BR read only drives will cost the consumer $100 by years end even less to MFGs). And I doubt MS would object. Maybe this is what they meant that they would not be releasing any BR driver with the 360 but still supports the rumours/claims that Xbox is getting a BR drive. And Sony was talking about doing this with their DVD players with the PS2 but it never happend, I wonder why. Yes Sony bots MS is copying Sony again start flaming, but regardless its a good idea and an easy way to make money and get more consoles out there.

[mikeslemonade]

Microsoft with this idea they're just not ready to even be thinking about this. They need shrink the console first and then make sure it's reliable enough to be put into the TV.

And if this is like the next generation consoles then I can make a whole list of negative things about this idea. Top reason is freedom. Not everyone wants the same kind of TVs and the same company.

[actionjackson]

This is an interesting concept, to say the least. Isn't it interesting that all consumer electronics are eventually going to get integrated into each other. This reminds me of a computer model, which has many components manufactured by muliple manufacturers. I.E. Intel processor, Asus motherboard, maxtor hd, NVidia graphics card, etc. This is an interesting step in integrative electonics. But who's going to run the warranty? Is Samsung buying the X360, like a computer part, and selling a complete system, or are the companies tied in this together? Thoughts anyone?

[power of Green]

It will be intresting to see if the two parties come up with some sort of interchangeable design for upgrades and future Xbox's I'm going to say yep the 360 only has its core hardware built in; as it is.

This is such a badass idea it is no wonder fans of the competition are in here with their sour grapes attatude(meaning it would be a great idea if this was about their fav console).

A TV with advanced Multi-media capabilities built in.(Video-chat, IPTV when available, Movie service possibly Netfix by launch and gaming etc). WoW.

Having two LCD's they output mad heat but at the same time I'm sure with the right design and new innovative technoligy it would seem all they would have to do is keep the multi-media hardware below the screen in the back side of the LCD lol(heat rises right out of them).

[AAACE5]

I always liked the idea of having the stuff I like compiled into one specific item. But this is a bad idea if true! It's just like the TV VCR/DVD combo! If one breaks you have to either go without, or pay high prices to get it fixed... not to mention if you have to pay to get it shipped somewhere! Not attacking the 360's reliability issues, but just pointing out that if something goes wrong with any product I buy, I want to be able to make multiple decisions of how to deal with it!

[NegativeCreep427]

This Website is totally flawed, the comment I posted yesterday that was above (at 1.2) was NOT A SPAM POST (if it was truly SPAM, why did that comment get about 27 agrees???), yet all these xbox idiots who didn't like my comment because it was an honest observation and all report my comment as spam and the moderators here at N4G don't have their own opinion (or they just can't read) and can't decide for themselves on what to remove by just looking at a so called "offensive" posts and make a decision based on their own ideas of what is truly spam and what is not.

I'll repost my comment that was reported as spam and anyone here with an independant logic can decide for themselves whether it was spam or not: Great, not only will the RROD affect you're xbox 360, now it will also F-Up you're TV. Smart Move...Two birds with one stone, like they always say...

Was that comment above spam? Really? I have seen things directed towards the PS3 that are at least 3 times more "spam-worth" then that. I guess all the moderators here are xbox fanboys as well. They must have the attitude of "you mess with the xbox 360, you mess with US!!!!, and we won't stand for that, so we will silence you by deleting an honest observation because WE love to play ignorance on the Xbox 360's many technological flaws"

[cito35th]

GREAT NOW TWO THINGS TO GET THE RED RING OF DEATH AND OVER HEAT!

[Condoleezza Rice]

Ahh,the catch ^.

[P4KY B]

Mobile phones all have more than 512Mb.

Maybe it should have been GB

Can you even buy 512MB for a PC these days?

[shotputking]

could be a typo... but that's also the size of the memory cards, if i'm not mistaken...

[whoelse]

Oh yh how many 512GB hard drives do you see around.

They usually 300GB, 400GB, 500GB etc

[pharmd]

lol, just like the wii!!!

[Evil Rant Monkey]

<512mb HDD? wtf?)

[shotputking]

i wonder if that would mean you could connect it to another storage device through usb??
i'm planning on buying both another tv and another xbox soon... i wonder what the timing would be for a release of something like this?

[Fishy Fingers]

So it's the arcade base model. If the idea behind that is to keep costs low then they really need to allow people to use 3rd party external HDD's.

[rebirthofcaos]

Amazing a TV with RROD and then it burns XD XD XD XD XD XD

mal-function -- ma $"$ fun%&$on buzzzzzzzzz

[AngryTypingGuy]

Yes, because if MS is involved with a TV it will overheat. What moronic thinking. No one makes a better HDTV that Samsung.

[BigKev45]

That is crazy.

[mrlakadaddy]

hated tvs that were intergrated with another device...remember the vhs tvs and the dvd tv's? anyway its a good idea but my only concern is if one breaks both are wasted...example...if the tv malfunctions you will have no use of the 360...samsung is probably more likely help with th manufactuer of the 360..now that would be a hell of a better speculation

[darkness within]

hmm that tv is gonna pump out a hell load of heat aint it?
with the screen and an xbox

[DG]

Not with the smaller Mobos and cpus

[tojfs7931]

Anyway seperately.

[SUP3R]

XBOX KINGS ARE THIEVES!

THIS IS MAXCONSOLE'S STORY YOU BASTARDS!
http://www.maxconsole.net/?...

[SUP3R]

Glad this got sorted out. The image should have been edited as well.

Anyway.

Samsung isn't making 360's built into their TV's. It's a marketing agreement both companies signed way back in 2005, where Samsung will label their HDTV's with the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live logos. Read here:

http://www.theinquirer.net/...

If it were true, it would be a great concept, but I doubt it would work.

[whoelse]

Most TVs with integrated stuff always fail because its better to have them seperate. I wonder if these will break 33% of the time. Samsung arent known for their reliability either.

[legendkilla]

are garbage.. i work at a electronic store.. every year i have to sent hundred's to get fixed or back to Samsung.. there about as good as LG's.. Thats why i bought a Pioneer plasma way better! :)

[sandip787]

lol and what happens when it RRODs?
owned would sum it up nicely most probably

[GiantEnemyCrab]

as 1.3 said:

"well considering its being manufactured by Samsung I doubt the RRoD should be an issue. nice attempt at reusing a played out joke though... "

[juuken]

sandiiiiii...Crab is about to eat you. Stop mentioning the RROD!

[avacadosnorkel]

this is gonna be cheap, huh.

[LiquifiedArt]

If i dropped 2000$+ on a TV and it OVER HEATED I'd be one PIssed MOFO

[LevDog]

DAMNIT... I own a 56' 1080p DLP Slim Samsung... It has a glossy Black finish, Just like my PS3 (they match) .. Why would Samsung do this to me hahaha?

They are gonna down grade and go with a primer white or black..Not to mention 360 is declining in sales..

DONT DO IT SAMSUNG

[streetking93]

how much is this gonna cost

[fenderputty]

but I hope to god the let the quality control be handled by Samsung. Three red lights on a TV would suck.

If they can manage to make the product solid, then that's one hell of a cool idea. That's why I said I'm not trying to flame. I would actually consider getting one of these TV's. I need another one for my bedroom anyway in the next year. This would be cool.

[ActionBastard]

Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

[dale1]

whats the point of having a hd lcd and and no hd playback unless there putting in a bluray

[MazzingerZ]

In many parts of Europe a TV with a built-in VCR was the standard during many years and it worked fine because both TV and VCR kept under the same tech specification during many years, no problem

Today? buying one of those you might have double as much chance to buy something that within one or two years will be obsolete

[Gorgon]

In what parts of Europe was that? I never saw that becoming a standard. In fact it disapeered pretty quickly from what I saw.

[MazzingerZ]

Scandinavia. I still have one in my kids room that I bought 8 years ago. VCR still works. they started to dissapear from the stores 2 years ago, replaced by LCD and Plasma, mainly because starting from next year all TV broadcasting will be digital, which triggered the sales of LCDs TV

[Lumbo]

Scandinavia is not "many parts of Europe" Scandinavia is a niche market. Neither the UK nor the French and German market warmed up to the idea of integrating multiple devices into TV's. Mainly cause every decent review mag would warn you against it, as multiple failure points in one case instantly lead to frustration when one of the parts breaks and you have to send in the whole unit. And sending in the whole TV just to fix a broken DVD drive in the x-box part of the made up combo would suxx more than you could ever imagine.

[juuken]

Well, this better not have the RROD because if the 360 goes boom, your T.V goes boom along with it.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Will you get off the RROD crap! Go troll somewhere else.

You don't think hardware failures are not at the forefront of any design Samsung is doing? Considering the RROD has been wiped out in large parts since the Falcon mobo was introduced this joke is getting really farkin old.

[ActionBastard]

Sure. Elites with the Falcon chips never RROD. The problem was fixed long ago. No need to worry.

[juuken]

Oh dear Crab...did you burst a blood vessel there? xD

Lmfao.

The RROD is still an issue Crab and unless MS gets rid of all of it, it will continue to happen. Juuust praying my console doesn't die. You know, it seems to me that you always scream 'STOP TROLLING!!!!1' when it deals with MS and the 360 when you 360 owners do the same exact thing in the PS3 sections.

We're all hypocrites so come off it.

[Gam71]

The rrod is only an issue with you ps3 fans juuken.

You're the ones who go on about it and troll 360 boards.
Why don't you play on your machine instead. You have a game now.

Oh and using the "wah, you do this to our threads" is thin on the ground.
It's nowhere near as bad as what you lot do and if you can't take it then stop it.
As long as there are a lot of ps3 fans online (instead of playing) you will hijack and childishly conduct yourselves wherever you see 360 and reply.

You bought your machine, love it. Don't have buyers remorse.

[iHEARTboobs]

But then you'll realize this:

a) no portability = sucks (who doesn't like taking their 360/PS3/Wii's to a friends house?)
b) if your tv breaks and has to be repaired, your 360 goes along with it. I wouldn't want to be without my PS3 and i'm sure you wouldn't want to be without your 360.

Either way, i'm sure it will sell but not a lot.

[GameOn]

It does kinda suck for taking it round to a mates house. On the other hand I only take my 360 round my mates when we're gonna have a LAN party. This just means I wouldn't have to take TV and 360 separately.

I think this is a good way to get 360's out there. Hopefully they make them classy and reliable and I hope this rumour is true.

[andron]

Just as a built in DVD player is a bad idea.

You get more build quality compromises, and if one part of the unit needs repairing you must do without both.

[kingme71]

What happens in 2-3 years when the next XBox comes out?

I'm trying to think of the positives for marrying the 2. Cost is the only thing I can come up with. Maybe lack of wires.

How big of a box do they send you when it red rings?

[alster23]

someones desperate

[s8anicslayer]

dumbest idea ever, why would someone buy a tv with the 360 built in?old technology since there is no hi def format! ill pass

[GameOn]

who sais it can't have BluRay

[OC_MurphysLaw]

RROD, you cant play blu ray, blah, blah, blah...

First off this is going to be geared towards people looking to buy a TV not people looking to buy a console. You go looking at TV's and you come across one wiht a built in DVD player and Game Console...its a very good idea. There already are LCD's out with a built in DVD player and they are slick in their design.

Samsung absolutely would have control over the quality. All they would be getting from MS is the inner tech, they would have free reign over how to best implement and place into the TV.

Regardless of the Sony Fanboys bashing the idea because of the "lack" of blu ray...well the 360 upscales DVD nicely enough...and DVD contrary to the belief of the Sony camp is the majority of movie libraries out in the wild....and will be so for a very long time.

[juuken]

Um...if the system goes bad, your T.V might go bad as well. 1. This is not a good idea, 2. MS is getting very desperate to sell 360's, and 3. Samsung must be out of their minds to go along with it.

[iHEARTboobs]

Yeah there's TV's with built in DVD players but EVERYONE has a DVD player so there's no need to carry it around or move it from place to place like you might want to with a gaming console. But we'll see how well it sells if this does turn out to be true.

[alster23]

i hate intergrated devices

[Bladestar]

Look at the sony leg humpers panicking... lol! By the way what happened to the "Microsoft can't make good hardware; hence why the RROD"... well now the hardware manufacturer is one of the best hardware manufacturers as far as entertainment is concern... so.. why the stupid RROD comments? Or let me guess.. you are not smart enough to understand that the RROD is caused by hardware failure and not software failure.. and in case you didn't know the obvious... the only thing Microsoft on this X-Series LCD TV will be the xbox 360 OS...

I can understand why sony leg humpers are on panic mode... since this can only be negative for anything Sony... bad for Sony TVs... For blu-ray since it would make it very easy for these TVs owners to use Digital distribution... and Bad for the PS3 since people woundn't need to buy anything but the TV to play xbox 360 games and download movies...

[Gorgon]

I think you will be disappointed...

[juuken]

Um Bladestar, who's desperate? Who's panicking exactly? Why would MS do something as foolish as this? If I were them, I would make sure my console is more reliable first before entering a deal with Samsung. If something happens with that console, chances are it'll spoil a T.V as well.

Sometimes you make sense, and sometimes you don't. You're running around calling Sony fans Sony leg-humpers when MS fans also do a little leg humping of their own.

[wallace1000]

It seems that people keep bring up the RROD all the time around here. Isn't it starting to become a thing of the past? I haven't had any problems after my launch console was replaced and i haven't seen lots of 360 owners saying their console has died recently (and talking to people on live all seems good in the past year). It is therefore my thesis that people with a bone to pick with the 360 should come up with a new argument against it, instead of dragging up the RROD all the time. Seriously it is getting old.

[juuken]

Samsung...you're not a bad company but seriously, reconsider what you're doing...

[OOG]

This could be a really cool idea.....and could be pretty sweet if it was done with a new launch system a few years down the road.....well I guess we will have to wait and see

Also like Bladestar said this could be a great way to get into people homes with the digital distribution which would be really smart....if this happens I hope they do it with launch systems downt the road as well

[v1c1ous]

this is honestly an interesting idea.

the convinience of bringing ur 360 everywhere though would mean having to lug a television.

and expected of trolls to bring the rrod issue. good job guys, keep beating that dead horse. it makes you seem smarter.

[OOG]

agreed bubbles up++++

would be a great thing for digital distribution

[ChrisGTR1]

true. how could it only use a 512 mb mem card?? its bs, especially when i can buy a 2 gig flash drive for 15-20$ which uses the same technology.

[Skerj]

Sounded like a good idea until the 512mb of space, wtf? You can get like 32gig USB drives now why wouldn't something similar be built in?

[OOG]

yea def need a bigger hdd but could be cool none the less if they get the right stuff in the system....

[BIGELLOW]

It's a neat idea on paper, but I think it is just a bit too over-the-top. This isn't going to be geared towards someone who is looking to buy a game console, since the price is going to be out of the expected range.

So, instead, this is going to be for someone looking for a TV and, hey look, this one happens to have a game console in it. The problem is, most people who don't already have a game console... and who are primarily shopping for a television... are going to see this as a turn-off. There are also plenty of people who were looking for a Blu-ray player only and turned down the PS3 as their Blu-ray player and opted to spend much more. Why? Because they hear "games" and think "I'm not buying a toy, I'm trying to build out my expensive home theater system. If I want a toy, I'll buy the game console separately at another time." It's just the particular mind-set of the different consumers.

One way they could possible spin this one is to say, instead, that these televisions can also stream movies over the Internet. If it is marketed in this way, they can convert some television-only buyers, but depending on the price, it may only be the elite few. It will likely go the way of the Philips CDi and the Panasonic 3DO of a long time ago. A neat idea on paper, but people just aren't looking for it just yet.

As others have mentioned, when you integrate multiple complex devices... you risk losing both when one goes bad and you have to ship it for repairs. If the TV goes bad, you likely wouldn't get much use out of the XBOX 360 anyway... but if something goes wrong with the XBOX 360 (even if it isn't the unit's fault... let's say the 4-year-old sticks a Viewmaster reel into the drive and it won't come o out) you likely would have to send in the whole unit for repairs and be without a television as well. So, it might work if someone is in the market for a television for the kid's room, but not much else.

I think this would really work if they also made it so that the 360 unit were easily removable by the consumer to send in for repairs. This would make it a much easier sell, especially if the price of the television was comparable to the price of similar televisions. If, instead, it just costs more - about the price of an XBOX 360 - then it will turn people off. Now your son can't take the XBOX 360 over to a friend's house when he's spending the night there, and he can't trade it in or sell it on eBay when the next iteration of the XBOX comes out.

Again, this is neat on paper... and is likely going to sell to technophiles who are willing to give any new concept a shot at least once. But I don't think it is going to be a game changer in any way.

[Gorgon]

Exactely my friend. Bubble for you.

[heyheyhey]

that's not a bad idea..

not sure if it's true though..

and what about RROD.... ONLY JOKING, PLEASE DON'T ATTACK ME CRAB!!

[juuken]

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! >:|

Don't look at me, I can't save you. He nearly ate my head for dinner. o-o

[apoc615]

So now we have to send in the whole tv when it does the RROD ? no thanks...

[Ri0tSquad]

Oh well, I would never buy this. It sounds cool and all but....I don't know about this......

[Pornlord]

I have a thought, you know how typically unreliable TV's DVD combos were when they first came out.

I sold TV's for a long time, and the bane of my existance was christmas when TVDVD combo's were cheap, and everybody bought one.

What happens is that the DVD player might malfuntion after 2 years, it just happens, BUT it would permanantly lock 90% of these TV's on the DVD input, and they got a blank Screen as a result. If you don't buy an extended warranty (on a 46 in' let's just say around 450 for 3 years on a 2000 dollar TV maybe more) then you are screwed.

My point is, I used to steer people clear of these combo TV's because "It's just one more thing that can go wrong and ruin a 2000 dollar TV". Now, add in MS unreliablity problem, and I smell another Billion dollar insurance plan comin'. That's my professional opinion on that.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Sorry but while I can accept you having an opinion, the term professional seems a bit much. I mean you sold TV's...not sure that qualifies you as an expert on the subject, and given by your wording you no longer do it so not sure you really can even qualify as a professional on the topic.

Now that said, I do see where your concerns come into play. DVD combo units early on most definitely had some issues just as the vcr combo tvs did. typically the tv lasting much longer than the electronic combo peice. But...I do believe the reliability of combo units has gotten much better over the years.

[Pornlord]

Ok, I think if you've been doing something as your PROFESSION for a number of years, you go to training classes 4 times a year in different states and conferences. You meet with Sony, Samsung, Toshiba, Panasonic... oh I get it, you think I work at Best Buy??? No, I work at H.H. Greggs, I was a full commissioned salesman (moved up to an office Job but still in the field) and I have been working in electronic sales for 7 years. That makes me a professional. I digress

Did I say that the TVDVD combo didn't become more reliable over time? No, I didn't. I share your opinion that it could get better, my argument was for the poor slobs that buy into this right off the bat, and get screwed, that was it. I see your point though, it will get better, I'm just worried about the initial consumer.

[kewlkat007]

Hey MS did work with Samsung to promote the 360 when they first came out with them kiosks in the stores.

I think Samsung was trying to shine with its gamer mode Xbox ready Promo.

Hey I have a 46 inch 4671f Samsung LCD, the leader for the last 2 years. I trust them but still a rumor.

I still see DVD combos and I'm sure Blu-Ray combos soon.

[patwee]

512..?

[Citizen Cook]

Thats amazing! Does it have a Blu-Ray drive?

Either way, i'm buying two!

HA HA HA HA!

[Says you]

Back Stab Samsung like the way they did with Toshiba?? no one should partner with Microsoft its pretty obvious there trying to make Samsungs stock less valuable like they did with Toshiba

Microsoft is trying to screw my people over!

[Bill Gates]

Talk about DESPERATION!!!!!

....AAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHA HAHAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHaHAH AHAHHAHA

Stupid BABOONS!!

[caffman]

stupid $ony $lug!

[Strife Lives]

Not the 1st time its being done though,Nintendo and Panasonic ,rite? And. . .Sony planned it with the PS2 years ago. . .but,as far as I know it didnt materialise.hope msft knows what their doing.afterall. .it is a samsung drive that keeps scratching and busting up my 360 games :(

[INFINITI]

Samsung = Best in World LCD
+
Xbox 360 = Best in World Games

=

WooooooooooooooW

[RAY017]

Its more like:
Samsung: the best LCD and hardware
XBOX360: the worst gaming hardware ever made!!! jajaja!!!

[Thoas]

Please stick to making your crap Software.

[RAY017]

jajajajaja!!!! the xbox on an lcd, thats a desaster. Its gonna overheat everything!! If Samsung wants to keep its reputation they should avoid this.

[REDZEV]

you know im actually a little pissed this wasnt supppost to come out for another couple of weeks or until e3 was done. dont worry Emo sony fanboys theres a couple other surprises coming you wont like. this is nothing ;)

[ThatCanadianGuy]

360 price cut? (desperation)
a 360/lcd tv that's gonna have an abysmol failure rate,360 cant handle being out in the open without frying,imagine compacted into a hot tv...lmao..cant wait to see how that plays out..

what else eh? viva piniata two?
banjo kazooie?

...halo 4 "mastercheif's revenge"?

[Deadman64]

masterchief's revenge? lol thanks for proving you never played Halo. Which means you bash it without having given it a chance. Congrats at being a fanboy.

[air1]

you sony fanatics are ridiculous already. you ppl act like sony had no problems last gen. grow the f*ck up if it breaks it will get fixed. good god get a damn life. last i checked micro took the hit for the rrod not you. why so much damn hatred. you sony fanatics act like if micro banged out you're moms or somthing and never sent child support for you're as$.

[TrenchaunT]

Now THAT'S newsworthy: "REDMOND, Washington - A study has uncovered that most Sony fans were fathered by Bill Gates. Until now, hardware failures and general corporate evil were thought to be to blame for their feelings of enmity."

[RAY017]

cool it granny...

[SpecialSauce]

gay

[ELite_Ghost]

haha nice pic...
you look like a 360 owner in that pic!!

[caffman]

good for you!Not my choice of lifestyle but whatever floats your boat!

[deno]

I need a flatscreen for my bedroom and this could be a nice purchase if the rate is good. Stop hating people!!!!

[wallace1000]

deno, a bubble for you!

[tojfs7931]

Has a 360 in it will I have to worry about it RROD'ing during an episode of LOST?

[air1]

you are already lost. scram kid scram go install a new game or watch a movie better yet write a letter to sony how you want live features in ur psn. this is not a ps3 thread you home less bum..

[wallace1000]

This would be great for people with limited space that want an all-in-one solution for gaming. Personally i wouldn't buy it but then again i like individual components. My logic for not buying this is the same for not buying a PS3 for a blu-ray player, or buying a home theatre in a box for surround sound and a dvd player. I like dedicated hardware. My opinion aside, this is still a pretty cool idea. I think the perfect console for an all-in-one though is the Wii/tv combination. That would appeal to a lot more people.

...being w/o a TV on the other hand, that's just unforgivable.

And wait a minute, you're going to buy a TV that has a 6+ year life span on it w/a console that has maybe 2 years left at most? This TV is marketed only for the rich. Not a good business endeavor

[air1]

the ps2 is still being bought to this day. what if the tv is meant for umm gaming only and the features of the console. i mean, most ppl have more then 1 tv. c'mon ppl lets think outside the box.

i think this is a good idea, a tv that is meant for your console. but if you go into it making that your only tv then that is dumb.

[tojfs7931]

The TV is the console... but most people can't afford more than one HD tv screen so I can see many an argument breaking out over this.

[TrenchaunT]

OK- I'll keep this one "on the hush."

[tojfs7931]

Is the big announcement that will change gaming forever then I think MS needs to go back to the drawing board. NEXT!

[karma]

instead of this why not make a 360slim with cheaper price & more reliable hardware?

[DontH8DPlayaH8DConsl]

the new xbox wasn't coming in 2010 or 2011! Save it for the next xbust i mean box ;-D

Microsoft is just paying more money.
Just like w/ Toshiba Microsoft pays to get a product and then completely destroys their partners.
-It a lot like when Germany teamed up w/ Russia during WWII but was totally screwed when Hitler moved on to take over a large part of Russia. Except Stalingrad where the Russians managed to fight back and win and later takeover Germany.
Microsoft is the Hitler of electronics all they do is want to takeover.

[N4g_null]

i was just thining when or who was going to get a game console to start coming with TVs just like the cable industry. Then this comes out LOL WOW!
As long as I get the xbox for free I'm cool with it.

[Iyere]

If MS made a slim 360 then it would be the recipe for a bomb.

Guys dont hate us. We feel your pain. Join us. You know your 360 will blow up soon so return it and get a ps3.

Ps: I love acting like a fanboy. Pisses you 360 fanboys off doesn't it. LOL!

[RAM MAGNUMS]

this is what they might have for E3?!?
I can't stop laughing!
how old are you xbutts?
look at all the x-citement!!!
they are really hoping this is true & if it is its even funnier!
omg, I can barely type this thru my iPhone!

A xbox 360 in the future?
inside a tv!
extended warranty...

I can see xbutts buying this contraption, unwrapping it, setting this up & start playing.
10 seconds later & he thinks...
did I just buy a combo tv set?
xbutts are really sad & desperate for something metal gear new!
how pathetic is M$?
this looks like a desperate attempt to scavenge more sales & cut & run on samsung.
it won't be long now until the Phillips cdi, I mean xbox, I mean he-DVD, I mean vista, I mean xbox360 is discontinued.
I can't believe how gullable xbutts are.
RROD!

[uie4rhig]

make sure that the failure rate is as low as the PS3's .. and give it a bigger HDD, and i iz sold!!

[vhero]

no doubt every tv that sells MS will add to their amount sold of 360 this is a way of selling 360's for bigger numbers nothing more anohter MS joke

[Gantrfaxx]

And when your X360 gets a RROD you can throw it away together with you tv.

5 billion times? mayb? PS3 HAS NO NEW INNOVATION, THIS NEW IDEA IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR ANYTHING ON THE PS3! you're retards, the lot of you.

[Mc187]

The real story is at Kotaku and this is just a photoshopped samsung tv got check it out

[bama]

You guys do know this is a photoshop of a previous series of tvs right?

[Lumbo]

its futile to point that out, the bandwagon already crashed through sanity hours ago ... Yea, integrating devices into tv's is so en vogue it seems .. good thing reasonable people avoided that junk so far.

[Killa Aaron]

More RROD

[Masta_Killa]

The Red Screen Of Death

[Iyere]

MS: experience the rrod in HD
Sony: ?

[Leathersoup]

Unless the price was incredibly reduced I couldn't see myself forking out money for it.
Why would I want to pay good money for an HDTV (with built in console) only to have to buy an entirely new TV when the next gen of consoles comes out?

Well I can see why Samsung would be happy about it. :)

[SpecialSauce]

too bad ur to stupid to realize i was talking about there idea and criticizing it by calling it gay which would mean that when i use the term gay in that way means i hate gays and thus proving that i am straight. but judging by how u incorporated yourself in your attempt to call me gay it kinda tells me that ur a little insecure about your sexuality.
