[QUOTE="Bad-School-Girl"]I plan on pre-ordering the Xbox One as soon as I possibly can, and will be happily picking it up at launch. Here are my reasons why the Xbox One is a perfectly fine console, and how it treats consumers the way it should treat them.
The used game fee is completely fair. Developers around the world spend countless hours creating, tweaking, and perfecting their games, yet people still resort to almost "stealing" their money by purchasing their games used or borrowing said game from a friend. The fee being the cost of the game is perfectly fine.The fact that we no longer need a disc once the game is installed is a very convenient feature, and i'm glad that I will no longer have to constantly get up and ardously swap discs. Physical copies these days are so arbitrary.
Needing to be online to register a game is perfectly fine, and can result in increased interaction between the gamer and the game, and registration often times involves various extras that develops may sometimes be inclined to offer.
Lack of backwards compatability is something the PS4 has anyway, so why are we suddenly bashing Microsoft for this? Also, as statistics said, there were only 5% of people that actually used backwards compatability on the Xbox 360. Not only that, be we have a veteran in the industry saying this, and he has more credibility than anyone on this forum.
Why does it matter if we can't play our XBLA titles on the XBone? Simply load the game up on your Xbox 360, it's truly that simple.
I can assure everyone here that Microsoft will not be using the Kinects always on feature to "spy" on us. They're a state of the art coorporation and the odds of them being "hacked" are slim to none. If you're so concerned, put a towel over it.
The XBone shutting off from Kinect due to too many people entering the room should not be a problem due to the fact that Kinect is not advanced enough to be able to detect every single movement from everyone. Did you see people complaining when we found out the limited capablilties of the Wii-Remote? Exactly.
Not being able to use our old Xbox 360 controllers and accesories makes sense, I mean why would they when they didn't let us use them last gen? Also. Microsoft is really trying to deliver their state of the art experience, and the new controller presents the only means to do so.
Having to connect to the internet once every 24 hours is a non-issue. Even places with the dodgiest connections should be able to pull that off, and if you can't, then what are you doing on this website in the first place?
It really pains me to see all of these people bash the Xbox One when they don't know what they're talking about.

Very rational and wonderful post. But logic doesn't really exist here in system wars. You are fighting a lost cause here.
