Xbox 720 will basically be a cable TV box.

or so says leaked document. Which has since been removed by M$ -- which is pretty much an admission that it was full of true facts of what's to come...

Err...  "cable TV box"?  How do you get that from the linked doc?  I could understand "advanced multimedia all-in-one device", given that it plays games, streams audio/video, records TV signal, plays movies, and needs to out-do XBOX 360 + Kinect.

However, this is the stupidest sentence in that doc: "Never need to upgrade hardware again".  Yeah, right.

"Always connected" I guess, but since nothing actually exists yet I don't care.

I was out in the sun a LOT on the weekend -- blame sunstroke for my poor reading comprehension skillz ... it's obviously a lot more than JUST a cable TV box.
