Found the original article for those interested.

In a nutshell :

-500GB HDD
-360 controllers won't work with it
-It can run multiple games/apps at once

"His leaks were pretty accurate and he also had almost 90 pages of documentation, which clearly shows that he violated the NDA and used it to make some money. This raid is a clear indication that Microsoft isn’t happy with all the leaks, and it remains to be seen what happens."

Sounds like MS doesnt play games lol

"'Cos they're butt hurt poon pops... Microsoft and Apple are both crybaby pearl snorklers. As I said, Micro is just mad because now we all know they have the inferior console when stacked up to sony's, but more importantly Sony themselves now know it, too. This makes Micro look even more foolish and pathetic than they already are"

Really? come on the same thing was said about Sony and George Hotz, When you get a game system Developer or no developer reverse engineering the software or its security is a no no . The reason is because it not only protects your end but also the companies ability to make a standard playing experience across each and every sysyrm. if you break that chain it causes disruption to not just one part it can cause disruption to every system in the chain.

Hey if it's just your self that's one thing but as soon as you go public its going to effect everyone else. Because of his leak that may in fact be real, Microsoft's protected information about such product is no longer under that Aegis, So in effect it could damage the trade secret that was not ready to be disclosed thus the expense of product's for its security can prematurely be compromised thanks in part to someone who did it under NDA not to do such action's THAT IT IS WHY YOU SIGN SUCH CONTRACTS IN THE FIRST PLACE! you are under oath to keep your mouth shut.

its his own fault, or does the rules not apply to him?

this is not "i can do what ever i want" mentality this is reality, this is a legal binding contract you do something to void that and you will have to suffer the results for such action's.

He knew what he was doing was not a smart thing to do , but yet he did it anyway. if this is in fact true once you break NDA's no other company i doubt very much would ever want to work with him again. That is the least of his problems at this point.
dcbronco  +   709d ago

If you understood what he released on a deeper level you might be able to figure out things about the hardware that Microsoft wasn't ready to reveal yet. No one really knows what the parts in the next Xbox or PS4 can do yet. Chip makers assume a lot of things that time proves are wrong. But releasing specs and identifying parts will make Sony look at those parts and start trying to figure out why they chose those specific parts. And using that and other information you know about Microsoft could lead to figure out more about their machines potential.

And common sense should tell you that if it was so unimportant, both Sony and Microsoft would just release all of the informtion on all of their parts.

WEAK specs? Those specs were impressive hense the reason it's got you guys trolling so much angry and nervous voting these specific rumors as fake on N4G front page compared to other rumors showing weaker specs LMAO. You suckers are in denial.

This Kinect always being on is causing gamers to be willfully ignorant.

@DigitalSmoke #23.2.2

That's because pro Sony media used the best PS4 rumor specs and the worst 720 specs to apoint PS4 as the winner. PS3 fanboys and pro Sony media ignored the leaked doc specs and and tried to dismiss katoku specs which showed the same very impressive specs the first leaked docs showed.

PS3 fanboys tried to mix and match rumors to confuse gamers and to attack the 720. The specs of the 720 are impressive which is why the spin campaign started with anti MSFT people looking for the worst 720 rumor specs they could find to compare the best PS4 rumor specs.

If his rumors are true than Microsoft will force every 720 owner to use Kinect. I honestly don't like the sound of that.

Well this confirms 99% that the specs are true. That doesn't mean it's set in stone but hey we'll see soon. Microsoft has to respond to Sony soon after the 20th.

At this point the raid is the most solid evidencne we've received so far on this subject. Poor microsoft, weak console next gen, hopefully they have something other than kinect garbage to play.
Godmars290  +   709d ago
All that says is that some guy broke an NDA and tried to sell a dev kit.

Didn't the guys who used a dev kit to jailbreak the PS3, posed as devs bought one and reversed engineered it, get arrested too?

Or where they more smart and not sell it on Ebay.

Brrr.. kinda makes you shiver, always being watched.
Seeing as this pretty much confirms the specs to a degree, I only hope the Kinect always being on is false, that alone will pull away alot of consumers that like to know what the product does before they buy it.. like me.
VonBraunschweigg  +   709d ago
C'mon now, they only watch you to determine your personal situation so the ads made by that new Santa Monica studio are suitable for you.

If your poor, you don't want to see ads for Ferrari everyday. They have specific programs lined up for the rich, the poor, the fat and the ugly, so it's actually a good thing they care so much about you.

It's not like you won't be able to play CoD all day butnaked, they're not going to switch it off to get some rest or tell you to get your pants back on. I think.

DigitalSmoke  +   709d ago

Multiple reports put the 2 development stations against eachother and tech wise the Xbox was far less impressive then that of the Playstation.

Don't get your personal feelings mixed up dude, what i stated is true, and "MS IS Mad Brah" sending FBI after the guy who leaked it.

Don't get crazy son.

Lvl_up_gamer  +   709d ago
Not from the reports I am reading.

From what I have read, the 720 will be just as powerful as the PS4 but will be able to handle the work load much more efficiently then the PS4.

Anyone who actually understood how the 720's custom APU works and the move functions combined with the 8gb DDR3 RAM would see that this custom set up is more powerful then the off the self PC parts that Sony is using to create their mid-range PC PS4.

Most of the sites didn't understand what the "secret sauce" was or how it functioned. Now that reports have come out regarding what the "secret sauce" is and how it works, reports are starting to sing a different tune.

It's easy to simply just look at the hard specs and make a judgement call, especially when you deliberately over look components and functions simply because you don't understand them.

This is a good read. I strongly suggest you read it.

FBI have worked with ASIO a number of times.

Since 9/11 the CIA no longer works exclusively outside the U.S. but on top of that the CIA has no interest in copyright laws, contract violations, or pretty much any other legal issue not involved with terrorism or espionage.

FBI also work outside the United States!

(FBI were sent to Saudi Arabia to examine Terrorist Attack crime scene)

It's smelling the end for Microsoft and i'm very glad ! With a Durango that blocks the second hand market,makes mandatory the shitty Kinect for variable authentification,and an internet connection with a permanently mandatory system...
Shitty GPU,Shitty hardware etc...Too much huh ?

Solution ? Buy PS4 with a better services like PS Plus and free online gaming...I don't talk about PS4 hardware that totally blows Durango haha !

I really hope Xbox 720 is a super powerful beast because that would be excellent for multi-platform titles.
DivineAssault  +   709d ago
MS had to have been pretty pissed off to send in the feds after his a$$.. anyway, i wouldnt count MS out just cuz their system might not be as powerful as sonys.. If they get good exclusive games, i still want one.. I just doubt they will unfortunately.. They havent really put out anything i wanted in over 3 years.. The witcher 2 was one exception but that wasnt even 1st party.. I hope they turn things around & dont go the casual family fun entertainment route with just the 3rd party games to be all thats appealing.. We will see soon enough i guess but id wait before jumping the gun on the system being a piece of junk.. Their 1st party games dont seem to be made to target core gamers anymore besides halo n gears.. That whole kinect route for casuals is what theyve been focusing on & that really sucks

So this guy breaks an NDA and that warrants the police and fbi to raid his house and take all his computer/phone etc? America.. the land of the free.. if you're a big rich company.

The point being that if it was some poor company who had their NDA broken, the fbi/police wouldn't even want to know, yet it's the big M and all of a sudden they're raiding the guy's house.
