Did we watch two different confrences because I saw more interesting exclusive games at the sony confrence then I did at the microsoft one. WHen I say exclusive I mean on no other platforms(That means the PC).  Also the indie games and the support they are showing there was extremely exciting. I guess if the only thing your into is dudebro games then I could see why you weren't impressed.

Game sounds great, can't wait. Good work, MS. Keep those Xbox One exclusives coming :)

shawn30

It is not exclusive.

Both Windows 8 and Xbox One are made by MS, so....... no PS4 coming any year soon :)

 

Considering this company isn't owned by Microsoft and the game isn't being published by Microsoft don't bet on it if it sells well within a year it will get ported.

Also is anyone even buying into this idea the cloud is going to improve my games? Sim city touted this very thing EA let them run with this you can't possibly run this without the cloud since it's so complicated your hardware can't handle it. Only it turns out as everyone all ready knows to be 100% complete bullsvhit.  Even sony talking about cloud streaming old games from say the ps3. Older say ps1 games could be a possibilty but internet speeds are not good enough world wide to even make this a viable working option. I'm calling this for what it is. PR BULL.

Look at an ASUS VG248QE. 1ms response time and it's 144hz which is the lowest response time and highest hz any monitor will go and it's like $280. People complain color isn't good unless you fiddle with it a lot but hey for 280 dollors and how fast this monitor is I think it's a steal. Hell playing games on it will look super fluent and responsive. It can also do 3d if you want it to.

I don't think anyone didn't know that at least a few of these would be Kinect-related. Hopefully too many aren't afterwards. The console looks so sleek with its UI, but the caveats are just stupid.Blabadon

 

SLeak? It's all convoluted with boxes and ads that pop out and look horrible. It reminds me of a phones interface and those are not all that sleak just simple and slow due to the few ways to impute what you want them to do. I think it looks clunky and messy.

Hey everyone so I was going to build my own system and I i've been looking up parts and deals and and just got sick of it when I found this computer for $1400 by Digital Storm. It's just a tad bit more expensive then what I was going to end up with and it comes with a warranty and what I think seems to be a not bad set of parts all together. And the case isn't to bad either. So I'm thinking of buying this instead of building one.

So what do you guys think is it worth the extra money? Are there cheaper systems with similar builds? 
 
If anyone on here has one leave a review would love to hear if it runs well or any issues you've had.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="argetlam00"]

Apple can't watch me and listen to me in my house.

argetlam00

as far as you know. hope you dont use facetime or upload images and videos to the cloud.

Rofl I love how you think every corporation can access someone's account just because data is stored on their servers. Clearly you have never worked in the tech industry before. You realize they don't have access to my password right? No employee can tell me what my password is if I go and ask them. They cannot find out. There is no way to find out. Logging in and identity verification is a process entirely automated through software.

 

You are extremely naive. If you live in the united states everything you just said isn't possible is. ANd if CISPA is successful all your online information is up for grabs. How do you think telemarketers get your number or random phone scams get your number? How do you think average every day people lose 1000s of dollars due to credit card fraud? If I was a tech guy and I worked at a large Tech company like microsoft It would be no problem for me to work my way through there system and do what ever I want. If hackers can steal millions of dollars through the internet from banks they can do what ever the hell else they want.

At least my house is safe from Apple. It isn't safe from Microsoft.

argetlam00

Not if you've ever used your phone there

Apple can't watch me and listen to me in my house.

 

The iphone actually even when turned off can have the camera and mic activated via apples network without the phone showing any sign of it. It can also in the states be turned off by a button in the most modern of police cars so that your are unable to use it as a camera/recorder. Your phone is all ways a walking listening spying device it just a mater of if anyone is watching/listening which is very unlikely but it is possible 100%

I would love to trust you. Now do you have a source? I love how you have access to my social security number and my driver's liscence... Fat chance. Where exactly would you have gotten that from since I never used my phone to store that data.

argetlam00

When you sign up for a cell phone you have to give a valid ID and social. Unless your on someone else's plan. Either way, anyone who signs up for a cellphone automatically has all their info at risk.

This is standard procedure. All this information is supposed to be encrpyed, confidential and inaccessible to employees of the organization. Where is your source to say otherwise?

 

If CISPA is succesfull. The information you think is private like this kinect stuff, will be accesable by any government/company at any time all they will have to do is ask.
