I don't know if it's the future, but there's no way I'll consider the xbox 3 after the recent announcements.

Online Activation of all games, no lending to friends or playing on another console without signing your profile in, required to connect to the internet every 24 hours, lack of focus on games and more on tv, kinect hardware requirement (how long before they use this to spy on you watching a film and track how many viewers there are and when you lose attention then sell that on to movie studios?).

I'm hoping Sony don't go down this route. They've said they'll allow preowned but that could mean anything.
