@mtouchprod It's easy to look like a genius when the guy next to you is acting like a total idiot. Just shut up and let him do the talking, then when he's done spouting nonsense just say "we're not going to do any of the bad stuff Micrsoft's doing"
Bill Gates leaves Microsoft, we get Windows 8 and now Xbox One. Was his last order before he left to have everyone else run the company into the ground?
@epicgameresearc @roosteraxe1 Yeah it does seem like pretty backwards logic. Still, it's the only thing I can think of to play your big black brick if your internet goes down. Or...I can just get a PS4 and ot have to worry about it
@epicgameresearc @roosteraxe1 Yup. And if your internet goes down for some reason: router breaks, cable's out, whatever the case may be...you're completely SOL until you have internet again. Unless you're able to tether your phone to it, but something tells me that's not going to work
Someone brought up a good point the other day. With the online check-in for XB1, what happens when the next Xbox comes out and Microsoft no longer supports the servers for the online check-in? Does that $500 console become unplayable? Will Microsoft patch it and remove the online restriction? Of course, that's assuming it'll even last that long. Xboxes aren't known for their longevity. I still hook up my old consoles from time to time when I'm feeling nostalgic. Even my Dreamcast. Will M$ support fans who want to keep their system, or will they tell consumers to stop living in the past and buy their new console. Given their current attitude twoard consumers, both with XB1 and with Windows 8, I'm willing to bet it'll be the latter.
@bigmikeOK I don't doubt it. My friend gave me his original PS3 when the bluray drive fried from being in his basement and when I sit it next to my slim model, it's horrible. This thing is a beast and so are both the new systems. Sexy is not a word I'd try to call these systems. Huge freaking cynder blocks of gaming is a better description. Of course all Xboxes are giant blocky systems so there's nothing new there.
I'm reading a lot of XB1 fanboys talking about people commenting on the negative "rumors" about Xbox One. These "rumors" came directly from Microsoft from their XB1 announcement and their E3 showing. That means they are "facts". XB1's main selling points so far are the fact that you can control your tv with the kinect and the fact that you can watch live tv from your Xbox. Of course, tvs already let you watch tv and I really don't mind pressing the input button on my remote. It's also a fact that by making games for install purposes only, then leaving it up to developers whether or not to allow used sales, MS is essentially killing off used sales. It's also a fact that kinect will be monitoring you and everyone near you for "commercial" purposes. Needing to connect to the internet once a dayor your concole becomes unplayable...also a fact. Those negative "rumors" sure have a lot of facts from Microsoft's own mouths to back them up. Not liking these things doesn't necessarily make someone a Sony fanboy. It shows they have common sense. I supported Microsoft at the beginning of this current generation. I got burned for it. I've never had a major problem with a Sony console. In fact my PSOne still works. I'm on Xbox #2 and 360 #5. And it's not because I don't know how to take care of a console. My original NES still works and so do all the other systems I've owned. It's because Microsoft is horrible at designing hardware and they could care less if their customers are happy, as long as they're buying.
I don't know about the PS4 being sexy. It kinda looks like a giant Kit-kat bar. Still, that price is pretty sexy and being given the freedom to use the system without BS restrictions is definitely sexy. Paying more money for a system with unnecessary limitations and restrictions, that spies on you is very not sexy. I regret my 360. The only games I'm glad I have it for are Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia. The rest I could've bought on my PS3 instead. I wish I'd have just bought a PS3 right off the bat. The high price point kept me away till a year ago for this gen. That won't be an issue this time around. Thank you Sony.
I've got a $20 bill for sale. Only $99.99! I am over-delivering the hell outta this value here! This a a crisp, brand new $20 bill. You can so so many things with it that it's a steal at $99.99...oh...wait...you mean just telling people I'm offering a great deal doesn't mean it's a great deal? I have to back that statement up with fact? Can they be made up facts?
