@Gegglington @TheGamerPhenom They brought it upon themselves. I have zero sympathy for Microsoft. They want to try and screw gamers like myself over, they just won't get my money.
@jameston80 @TheGamerPhenom @bradocki Probably. But having me check in more often, than as people say, than criminals have to check in with a parole officer is ridiculous. Put the limit at something more reasonable, and I might be ok with it. But as it is now, it's ridiculous, and they will figure that out when it hurts their sales.
@demonkingx5 @TheGamerPhenom How does the past have anything to do with what they are doing RIGHT NOW. Right now, they are royally screwing up every single thing surrounding this console. End of story. That makes them look like idiots.
@jameston80 @bradocki @TheGamerPhenom We'll see. I doubt I ever get one. They will have to literally knock me off my feet over the next few weeks for me to change my mind at this point. Too many bad ideas about the console are rooted into my head at this point.
@Gegglington What else could they do at this point? They've taken major heat ever since the idea was released. It was either that, or they risked losing their customers before the console had even been announced for a month. And as it is, they are still in damage control mode now.
@demonkingx5 @TheGamerPhenom The Kinect is widely considered one of the most failed accessories to ever come out for a console. It may have posted a profit, but there is a lot that goes into that. I've never bought one, and almost assuredly never will. And last I checked, we weren't talking about the past. As of now, they are killing their marketing with every announcement they make. When the most positive marketing tool you've had so far in the four weeks since the reveal is "Hey, we aren't going to charge you extra for buying used games!," you have screwed up severely.
@jameston80 @bradocki Maybe. We'll have to see. It's why I'm holding off on deciding what I'm going to do with this upcoming generation as of now. Microsoft is all but out of the race for me personally; they would have to pull off something insane to convince me otherwise. Sony currently has the best chance to impress me, but as you said, I fear they too are going to do something boneheaded to screw over gamers.
