@neoistheone Yes same here in UK, but very little demand for the new Xbox, hence M$ not sending many to UK, one of it's bigger sale areas after USofA. Becasue we don't really want it.
I also agree with comment below. Very little real 4k content available.:
@Enragedhydra M$ learnt very early on how to screw over and bully everyone in the 80's when the had the OS manopoly and held all inovation back for over a decade, will they make the billions they use to prop up Xbox now.:
Sure we could both go on about all the nasty tricks play and how so many guliable fools swallow their crap, and just had over cash, while their distracted by the shinny shinyy. But it's like preaching to the converted :-)
@sladakrobot It was Phily boy and team who werer touting 4k 60 FPS when it was 1st annouched. M$ always lie and spin about theuir hardware as most of their hardware sucks.
Zune....Dead Phone businsess.....Dead
Kinnect.......Dead
Xbox Devision......hamorging money and should be dead but as been sutatin for 10 years in intensive care buy M$ billions. Yet still "best gaming systems" can't stand on its own feet.
1st 2 versions of Pro, piles of crap which handt had proper Q&A. As M$ know there are enough stupid people out there who'd buy one and do it for them.
Xbox....RROD-Took multipule court cases about to land and over 5 months to admit to the problem they knew from the begining, while screwing 100's of 1000's out of millions.
Hey you live in the USofA, home of M$ why am I not surprissed that you get screwed over by big comapnies. thats what you 'mericans want? Big busiess that can do what it wants, just like M$ who've bullied and done what they wanted for dacades. Don't come crying that some have data limits, thats yours and americas problem. Here in UK we have nothing like this.
As for the crazy rural areas, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they have bit more to orry about than band width and download speeds. Such as 100% running electricity. One things they wont be worry about is 4k!!!!!!
Building a console with expensive parts would be great but M$ have always done it with the chepest parts possible.
I've been running my print company for almost 20 years now and it's going strong. But this has nothing to do with this.
Facts are facts whither you like 'em or not. But I've now watched a few builds of PC which match all specs except unwanted UHD.
If they can't afford unlimited data, which the majority of providers offer worldwide. Then how will they afford to buy 4K movies?? They wont!!! What about downloading the games?? That’s gona use up data also. If you have 3 or 4 streaming services, you're going to choose a decent data package over a UHD drive evrytime.
blah balh, I parroting M$ media and spin as I have no imagination and believe all they say. Even though they keep ripping people off, so much so that that had to ditch xbox one almost as soon as it was released as it was just an ugly oversized VCR with an expensive peripheral added to fleece £100 off every fool who brought one.
@sladakrobotSupporting someone who speaks the truth you mean. You can build a PC same spec as new Xbox simply by leaving out the unwanted or really needed UHD drive. Sony who is still big part of team working on devlopment psyical media can see it's on the way out. Streaming is fine these days. It's just a despreate attempt to try and make the Xbox wanted but all it is is more TV TV TV. Instead of making machine which will hit 4K 60fps. Which the touted oh so loudly at the start, then went quite, now putting all blame onto the developers. AHHH the M$ way of doing business!!!
And why do M$ get away with this crap, cuz peopel like you will defend them to the death, even while M% is screwing them out of £100's
@Enragedhydra: I'd ignore Sladakrobot he's one of those who'll never except what you say. Then try and bury you in meaningless and pointless list and links.
It's all they have, as deep down they know you can build the same rig but without the unwanted UHDdrive.
It's the same blind zealotism, which has made it so easy to fleece so much money off fools who purchase Xbox. They even managed to offset all the money on the R&D for kinnect by forcing the fools to purchase the "integral" kinnect
Still, sooner or later they'll just kill off Xbox and turn into a game OS for PC.
@cjr84: Yeah M$ keep killing off their IP and studios. Seems as if they'll be nothing exclusive for the Xbox driving need. Christ its so unwanted here in UK, they're only sending limited amount.
