Just a quick thing to think about for competitive gamers.

I know the Xbox One isn't sounding like the best console right now. I know the 'used games' topic is so screwed up with all the confusion surrounding it. I know the TV applies to pretty much none of the people on GameSpot/IGN/Game Informer/whatever -- except for me. I think I'll use it simply because I think it would be pretty awesome to instantly switch from gaming to watching TV for a quick break, then back to gaming. Anyway, I digress, to the purpose of this post:

If you are a competitive gamer and use things like GameBattles, imagine the simplicity in the new snap-shot, or whatever it's called. Think about pulling up a side screen, going to GameBattles, sending a challenge, sending game invites, playing, then reporting the winner -- all without leaving your chair. Sure, you could do that now with your phone/laptop/computer, but this is all without walking away from your TV screen. This is wonderful, I think.

Can you see yourself using snap-shot for this or any other reason?

Dude look... a video game console should be made primarily FOR video games and should sideline all other features as being secondary  because that is what a video game console is supposed to do' give the user an amazing gaming experience

[QUOTE="ShaineTheNerd"][QUOTE="Lulekani"] And Ontop of that Microsoft has no shame, they're not even trying to hide the fact that they're in it for the money. They want you to pay for everything that other companies offer for free and with less of hastle. I like The New Xbox but with Microsoft at the helm. . . . F#CK'EM!Lulekani

You should alread have a "source" or "input" or "hdmi" button on your remote control for exactly this purpose.

I didn't mean for this post to be an "Xbox One vs PS4" thread. I was just thinking about useful ways to use the snap-shot for some Xbox-loving naysayers that were thinking of switching over. This isn't a System Wars post, guys and gals.

dont get me wrong, im not happy with the used game fiasco MS is doing atm

but until both systems are released and everything is 100% certain, no point getting your panties in a knot

if MS screws the gaming public over as much as it seems right now, well vote with your wallet and buy a PC or ps4

its a long time till the machines are released so anything could happen between now and then

agreed!

remember all the $hit talk that went on about 360 before and for awhile after its release saying it was xbox 1.5

then it kicked ps3 easily

you arent forced to buy consoles on launch day

wait awhile and see which one has the games you want to play the most. cant judge a system 6 months before its even released
