(JOFUS) -- Despite the 360 being only four months old, plans are already being drawn up for Microsoft's next next gen console.

The system is code named the xXPolygon720Xx due to name filters that will not allow names similiar to copyrighted material or curse words.

Although designers are trying to keep system specs a secret, several details have already slipped through to respected news organizations like JOFUS.com.

Aside from supporting an HD-DVD optical drive, the 'Poly' will have a Blu-ray drive, a zip drive, and two floppy drives 3.25" and 5.5" to allow for designer versatility.

Other additions include 17 USB2.0 ports, a 600W power brick and a detachable 620GB RAID array for data and media storage.

Perhaps the biggest surpise to date is the lack of any discernable controllers. Rumors have speculated that Microsoft is planning on using nanobots that interface directly with your brain to control games.

These nanobots can be regenerated by 'feeding' the 'Poly' with used soda cans and household appliances. They will also be using wireless communication and a scaled down version of Windows Vista.

Critics have pointed out that Vista enabled nanobots will allow you to play 'Poly' games while utilizing Vista's enhanced search features to index your body's files.

Microsoft co-founder and CEO, Bill Gates, has already told the media that the xXPolygon720Xx will counter the launch of Nintendo's Revolution system in early 2007.
