Xbox One enforces review embargo to hide deficiencies.

   If I am to comment on a game or system, I need to install/ set up said product myself. Don't let me do it? I get mighty suspicious.

   Let me clarify 1 thing, it's not about "video capture issues", it's about evaluating things in staged environments. Don't trust staged s**t.

• Blu-ray Disc and DVD player
  Users can enjoy not only gaming on their PS4 system, but also Blu-ray and DVD video contents. When using for the first time, users must connect to the internet to activate this feature.

Some features will not be available at launch, such as “suspend/resume mode”

Staged reviews, 900p, no DVDs without internet, FLoD = rushed console - Sony, lol

It's getting worse and worse for Sony, I'm thinking the XBONE is gonna end up being the better console even if it has the worse hardware.

Dude the xbox one requires to connect to the internet to dude in fact if you don't connect it,it will stop working in 24 hours the day 1 patch is to stop that...haha

And DVD and Blu-ray once active you don't need online any more,much like DVIX codex on PS3.

You people look silly and desperate trying to use this as something bad..hahaa

Wonder Woman is quite pleased. what lems were hoping was bad news for ps4, turns out to be nothing but journalists whining, as journalists often do, when they don't get their way.

No is not you don't know what DRM means apparently,the PS3 requires online activation for certain codecs DVIX been one of them,once you download which is pretty fast you don't need to be connected ever to play DIVX on PS3.

In fact you don't even know if what you will download is the actual player it self..

And once again on xbox one if you don't update on 24 hours the unit stop working period which is far worse.

The topic title needs to be changed, these rumors actually have nothing to do with the Xbox One. They are related to some sort of shadiness with blocking youtube uploads of game capture on PS4 and youtube reviews, and reviewers not getting retail units until 2 days before launch.

I have a feeling that despite the power difference, Xbox One will be the better console again. (I own all 3 current gen and am a PC gamer, not a Lem. Just my opinion).

@lockjaw333

Topic title should stay, it's amusing as is.

The Xbox is clearly a dying platform as it shifts away from gaming to be the centre of TV, sports, Kinect and other nonsensical garbage.

@Sweenix:

GAMES, GAMES, GAMES, GAMES.......

See the Xbox One is the current graphics king as far as console visuals goes. Winning best console visuals at both E3 and GameCon. Ryse and Forza are clearly the best looking games. To argue this is ludicrous given the simple the two top game expo's agree.

Features, The Xbox One out of the box will have more features then the PS4 in its entire lifespan. When the PS4 is released it wont do anything that the PS3 doesn't already do........

The Xbox One is already ahead visually ahead, It already has better launch exclusives and 2 month advanced DLC on both COD:G and BF4.

To answer your question, the reason people pay an axtra $100 for the Xbox One is easy......We simply get a lot more and better quality with a wide library of games to choose from.

@Crossel777:

lol. You sir haven't been in gaming world for long lol

CVompnies give these sites/people free access to their products BEFORE streetdate. EVERY single company puts a embargo on their review.

"Both these guys tweeted at the same time, many fans predicted that these tweets are related to a recent RUMOR that Xbox One version of certain multiplatform games runs at lower resolution than their Playstation 4 counterparts and also that icrosoft embargoed Xbox One games due to fear of websites making comparison videos."

lmao

Take a look at this recent post by MarcusBeer on NeoGaf. It might shed some light on recent tweets from these Journalists:

Hi all, took me a while to remember my password or I would have jumped in sooner.

Its not just about the games, its reviewing the actual system 2 days before the damn thing ships.

Something feels off right now to be honest & a lot of people are pissed about it.

If you have seen anything I have done over the last 8 months, you will know I have been very happy with the way Sony has been doing things but now its time for them to s*** or get off the pot and they are being damn evasive about allowing serious access to the system before launch.

I have mine preordered (ditto XboxOne) & if that is the only way I will get to have said access to the PS4 then so be it.

When people delay access to something, game or hardware, it's never for a good reason in my experience.

@Heil68:

Proud Lemming Arthur Gies even admits PS4 multiplats looks better LOL

You're going to see a lot of PS4 game reviews for next-gen stuff in the next two weeks, but not because we haven't seen Xbox One versions.

o. i think xbox one has a pretty good launch lined up, all things considered. but certain games will look better on PS4.
