XBOX ONE is sounding terrible.
with all new information Microsoft tells us, xbox one is looking like a huge disappointment. you cant play games offline for more than 24 hours, lending a friend a game is complected ,Kinect 2 and the questionable used game fee....... its like they decided to screw over the gamers who made xbox so popular. the only games i played on PS3 were the "must play" exclusives. now i am seriously considering dumping my Live account and getting a PS4. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/...-always-online

I love my 360 but am not very optimistic about the new x box. I have enough games (and there are enough used games I'd like to buy) that I can, and probably will, just keep playing the 360 for years. I'm a casual gamer anyway, usually no more than 3 hours in any given week.

Think about the gaming market as a whole. MS is trying to make the One a repalcement box, not only for gaming but for streaming meda and cable. They are tyring to position themselves to be the single box when people start "cuting the cable". In the next five years, media companies will bypass cable and go straight to the consumers via streaming MS wants to be the vehicle for that transition.
By supporting HDMI (the cable box) and the internet, they become the gatekeeper and when/if someone ditcheSthe cable and pays for streaming, the One is ready reagardless. |
Microsuk is at it again. Effe them and their stupid new console.
Will not buy. |
Yeah, why make Big Brother work when you can invite him into your home!
|
I've been saying it all along. Playstation > xBox
|
Article today that MS can't be happy about:
"New Xbox by NSA partner Microsoft will watch you 24/7": http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/07/ne...#ixzz2VYZSDzox |
Yeah I really am thinking ps4 so far. I had ps1 and 2 and xbox and the 360. But ps4 is supposedly going to be gamer oriented so it seems like its going to be the winner for me
|
really reminds me of the divix dvd player why even have a media if its not going to work without a high speed connection just download as you go
|
Yea, it is looking bad for xbox, lots of people are pissed. Lets see how E3 goes
|
PS4 will now charge a monthly subscription, just like Xbox live.
“In addition, Microsoft could conceivably subsidise the Xbox One through prepaid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions (as it has done on a limited basis in the past) or premium Skype functionality as well. Similarly, Sony would subsidise the PS4 through prepaid PlayStation Network subscriptions, but unlike Microsoft, it does not have a history of doing so.” |

Ugh. Been an Xbox guy since the first xbox, but microsoft screwed up badly with this POS.
|
The Xbox 360 will be my last console.
Microsoft is attempting to assimilate or purge us old timers. Streaming media, social media, constant internet connection, larger emphasis on wireless transactions and Kinect features; they're trying to appeal to the new generation of ADHD spoiled brat kids. |
I will wait and see.

Who gives a crap if it has to ping your system every 24 hours I don't get why this matters at all
You will be able to buy and sell used copies of games on a disc It is basically going to be the same as it is now If you buy a used copy of battlefield 3 right now and the online code has been activated u have to pay to get another online code to play the game online It is going to be the same setup in the next gen If you think Sony is going to go easier on the DRM stuff you are fooling yourself |

You can buy used hard copies of games for the Xbox 1 just like you can now for the 360 confirmed by Microsoft
There are several game companies that make you buy an online pass it is not just EA, although I agree wholeheartedly that EA is the devil. There was so many BS rumors that where going around before the reveal it was ridiculous, and they turned out to just be BS. direct from Microsoft “Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers. Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.” All the DRM BS will be with online bought games and that is how it always has been. |

When previously I could just sell it on ebay for $30, pocket $27 after fees, and the buyer pays less. Sounds just like how it used to be! Look, anyone with half a brain knew DRM was coming. The online passes were basically just CD keys. We've had that with PC games for years now. The "problem" is that since console games need to be installed(can't just get home from work and fire it up), console f/w needs to be updated(can't just get home and play any time you want), games need updates(sometimes it's quick, sometimes it's slow), and now that we have DRM on consoles(only being able to sell used games to a participating retailer is still DRM), there's even less of a point to bothering with a console, since we'll have all of the annoyances from PC gaming, and none of the upsides that console games have had since the late 70's by comparison. |

PS4 and XBOX One are not on the same level at all. Quote:
Actually, it's worse. What if a publisher decides not to "enable" their game for trade-in? |
Real gamers use PC's.
:hide: |
Trash.

All the "trending" stuff is what I could care less about, especially in regards to music on the Xbox One. Modern music today sucks.... Keep your Katy Perry..... I'll be jamming some AC/DC and Stones.
|
The only reason why Microsoft won with Xbox 360 over the PS3 was because the Xbox was hacked on day one. PS3 was not hacked for years. Its reality.
|
It is commonly referred to as the X-Bone for a reason...
And that reason has to do with used games, and paying more that we currently do for used games. |

One thing MS fails to understand is that the secondary market for used games alone can help boost console image in today market. Under pressure from developers they are now implementing a system that will pretty much kill of any possibility for a secondary market, no good MS. Lets face it people what to play god when it comes to "their" stuff and this is just who Android popped up to uppercut the **** out of the OS offered by Apple. In time gamers/consumers will start to opt for something different instead of being constrained by the all mighty Sony, MS, and Nintendo. We want to feel free even if we have to pay take a shaft at $60 per game. Besides all the bs system implementations made to force people to buy and not share games the PS4 still looks better based on hardware specs. AMD is killing it on these sytems for sure so kudos to them. Both systems have 8 core cpu but the PS4 has 8GB of ddr5 ram unlike the ddr3 ram MS opted to use. GPU is better in the PS4 as well and that my friends is going to make the in-game action so much better. When playing games in high definition you need good hardware, especially the GPU so you can maintain frame rates with a good level of detail. Multi-player FPS drive the market and when you have 16+ player shredding each other you really want to have no loss in visual detail. Hell, the PS4 controller looks more entertaining then the entire xbox system :D dam touchpad? hell yes i love to finger things, dual shock? **** i love to shake things up. PS4 is a console gamers orgasmic wet dream waiting to happen. The only thing console gaming is lacking is a solid state drive (SSD) and if Sony really wanted to make MS crap their pants they would offer a premium build with a kick *** SSD instead of the typical drive. |
SO much misinformation
Remember when the rumor was online connection all the time and not trade in of any game whatsoever. 95% of that was BS and we still have all the complaining. All Xbox one games will be available for download on release day and most will also be available on a disk. You can take your disk based games and sell trade whatever anywhere it is up to the developer if they charge a online pass renew fee. If you go to a friends house you can log in on his XBOX One and play all of your games thru his Xbox One cause everything will be on the cloud. While you are doing this it will ping your account every hour but you can play as long as you want. If you have a digital copy of a game you can give it to a friend if they have been on your friends list for 30 days. If you have a digital copy of a game now you are stuck with it. Stop with all the BS if you really want to be mad at the xbox one it should be for the following: I don't need or want Kinect, all the money and development should have went into hardware and software for games. I don't need an hdmi pass thru so I can watch tv thru my xbox one again all that money should have gone into games and gaming. To me those are some reasons to be upset, give me a gaming console and screw the rest. I will be getting an xbox one and a ps4 for exclusives, hardware wise they are going to be very similar. Again with regards to the PS4 they are the kings of DRM I can't wait to see what kind of shady crap they have planned. |
Yuck!!! Good thing I'm a Playstation user.
|
PS4 will NOT require online to play. Games are yours to trade, sell or lend. PS4 for the win!!!

I have owned an Xbox for as long as I can remember but I won't be buying the new one. If they decide to come out with one that doesn't have kinect built in.....maybe. I don't want someone hacking into my Xbox and accessing the camera and microphone.........no way. I will stick with my 360.
