Microsoft files to recover Xbox One domain

@chad28_69 Microsoft doesn't buy things lol they force your company into bankruptcy but flooding your market at a lower price then you can. Then buy your company(or IP's) from the bank auction afterwards thus giving them control of your assets and market.

Also they are jerks lol.

@mr_azim I just grabbed xBox1984.com, waiting to be contacted by microsoft.

>>>Let me dissect your post please, if I may…..

“BLURAY IS NOW REGION LOCKED ON XBOX ONE....Well, what else can we expect from the company that is pushing the cloud through your nose. The sad thing is when people think BluRay we think Region Free....but noooo that would be to good to be true with Xbox One. so let's recount the positives and the negatives shall we?:”

>>> There is no such thing as Region Free Blu-Ray…see here: http://www.blurayregioncodes.com/

Pos:

>>> That’s “Pros”

- A semi improved 360 controller.

>>> It’s hard to improve on what most gamers consider to be the best controller ever made.

- A flashy gesture and voice recognition system

>>> Kinect tech has me blown away. To call it simply a flashy gesture and voice recognition system, belies the amazing tech that’s gone into it.

Neg:

- A "24 hour internet check" for gaming functionality regarless of multiplayer or NOT.

>>> Doesn’t mean anything to me, but this is your one valid point for those unfortunate to have no internet or when the internet goes down. However, it doesn’t have to check every day (like if you’re away on holiday) it’s only when the system is being used that the 24 hour period check happens.

- Your downloaded games and DLC that you purchased over the years WON'T Play.

>>> Yes they will! On your Xbox 360! This is a NEW system…Get used to it!

- Your Profile would have to be shared if you want to let a friend or family member use your Hard Copy and Downloaded games by doing so the certainty of them ruining your gamer score and gaming library recorded on your profile.

>>> Ruining your gamerscore? What, by not getting achievements? Can’t you get them yourself? Ruining your library? Wtf?

- Your Favorite headset won't work...Microsoft wants you to buy a new one!

>>> the console has a built in Optical port for sound only. Don’t dismiss the possibility of Microsoft or a third party creating an adapter for the new pad’s headset port.

- Kinnect is now forced on you on every xbox and you can't deactivate it.

>>> Wow, a free kinect sensor…sweet! Oh, a well placed tea-cosy can pretty much render the kinect camera blind btw ;)

- No way to fully shut off that xbox, unless completely unplugged.

>>> yes there is. Been confirmed already.

- The Xbox brand represented a Gaming console with multimedia choices, NOW is a Multimedia Box with restricted gaming functionality.

>>> Nope, I think I will let E3 speak for itself. Microsoft have already stated they unveil was always meant to be a broader vision for the future. If you think Xbox One isn’t a gaming machine, just watch E3…then kindly eat your words.

- Indie Developers no longer have the freedom they used to have.

>>> Also confirmed that Microsoft will fully support the indie community.

- The box looks like it came through a Time Machine from the 80's and Microsoft wants us to put that in our Living Rooms???

>>> I like it. However, this is a personal taste thing.

- Microsoft still have the technologically inferior box compared to SONY...might not seem like by much, but faster Memory and Processor equals better games.

>>> Comparing Ram memory by type has no bearing on performance, unless you also consider bus speed. Google it! Also, a custom designed CPU that Microsoft has paid 3 Billion $'s to AMD for. Don't discount this chips unique performance.

- Microsoft putting up restrictions on how you buy and trade your used games...what it used to be a hassle-free process and decision, now it's a nightmare.

>>> A nightmare? It’s not even out yet. Yes, shame on Microsoft for trying to make sure developers get some money for used game sales and supporting the industry.

- And now for the first time ever, BLURAY IS NOW REGION LOCKED thanks to Microsofts paranoia....so much for the possibility of buying those games that might not make it in your country like we did with the PS3 and most xbox 360 games.

>>> As stated previously….There is no such thing as Region Free Blu-Ray…see here: http://www.blurayregioncodes.com/

I'm pretty sure the negatives outweigh any positives listed here or the ones you would like to think of....

the choice is clear and your hard earned money will send a message to Microsoft to either support them on a half-ass gaming effort full with restrictions and hassles or if you would want them to know you deserved better as a gamer.

>>> To be honest, I really can’t see Microsoft messing up here. Everywhere I go I see people pre-ordering the Xbox One. It’s breaking pre-order records at several different stores here in the UK. Of course there are always sony fanboys and naysayers trying to cast doubt and spouting off horsesh*t that simple isn’t true. Personally I can’t wait for Xbox One. Roll on E3 :)

@FallenOneX

er... squatting is when someone decides to camp in a property you own. given MS don't own the domain, how is this squatting?

@McTabish Exactly they are called land squatters. Just like people who buy the land up around airports knowing that they will expand, just a matter of time! I have no problem with them at all. Playstation uses playstation.com and thats it, end game, good luck squatting on any future consoles on them.

@HalcyonScarlet Their copyrighted name and he is just squatting on it. He should get nothing and like it.

@TheWalkingGhost it doesn't matter what he's doing with it. It's his. Or is it ok if I demand you to give me your car because you are not using it? domains are bought and sold, and he bought it before MS even registred the new name for their console.

@finalkain : Why would you pay someone for something that isn't really theirs? Domain squatters are lazy ***holes who want to profit of off other people's intellectual properties.

@finalkain They have their lawyers on a paycheck... cost them next to nothing to do that.

@finalkain they own the xbox namebrand. so why give him money when they can drag him to court and get it for free?

@tionmedon Yep or just use one main one and call it could i.e. playstation.com
