This is pretty ridiculous, but we'll have to see what it's actually like when it comes out.

You forgot to mention that XboxOne requires you to be online every 24hrs, if you don't check in you have about 1hr to play before your ($500 dollar console) DeadBox becomes inactive. This is the biggest FAILED console to ever hit the game industry and it's not even out yet, so many rules, so many requirements. Microsoft will learn that when it comes to gaming, the "Gamers" are the ones with the last word. We decide what we want to share, we decide when we go online; and in this case...we will decide who becomes the victor! PS4 all the way baby <3

Well it depends on your perspectives. People say that X-Box: ONE is more of a Multimedia device more than gaming. loljk I ain't paying extra just to connect online or other sh!et.

[quote=Clone501st]@LetThereBeFradd: Well the console doesn't work without a kinect, so I'm guessing it's either built in or comes with it.[/quote]

It is like the kinect now. Comes with it but if you unplug it the xbox juan will freeze.

I have to admit. PC gaming is the true master race. I have a laptop i am on but it is $300 and it can't run addictinggames without shutting off. PC is truly the way to go if you can afford it. Better than xbox or ps3 is literally every single way except price.

It looks like they aimed for a more widespread source of entertainment.. curious to see how this will work out for the console
I myself would buy a gaming console that's geared toward gaming, though the extras are still nice.

More importantly - no backwards compatibility with games OR controllers/peripherals.

it was kinda disappointing to me, but i'm looking forward to buy one, i'll jump off the PS3 club and go back to the xbox
If E3 is disappointing, i will switch to the PC masterrace
also, that new controller looks so comfy and sexy, literally made me wet

Lol wow they looked to make money EVERY single way possible this time. I did not buy a xbox 360 because I wasn't gonna PAY to play online. Which in itself is an absolute retarded concept. I all ready PAY the internet company. Now I need to PAY them to use my internet? I all ready PAYED for their system and game. Fudge that. Anyone who buys the xbox one is an idiot IF this information is true.

Anyways in sticking to ps4 but I wont buy it until a year later when they drop the price by a 100 bucks and I can buy one used.

That one disc-system lock made me so angry. Are you serious Microsoft? I've had Xbox for years now, I've bought games for it, paid for live this entire time and put up with all your crap for all that time because my favorite series, Halo, is Xbox exclusive. And this is your next gen console? I desperately wish more than anything that I can get a PS4, but I'm forced to buy this piece of garbage because Halo 5 and 6 are going to be Xbox exclusive. God, this makes me so angry.

This is like the second thread you've made about the xbox one being bad. We already know its bad. Lol you must be a ps4 kinda person.
But yeah ill stick to PC. I feel like the only reason why a majority of people play systems is to play Cod or battlefield.

That didn't stop anyone from purchasing a PS3 after they stopped being backwards compatible.

Xbox one can be turned on by saying "xbox on". This means it is ALWAYS on, just does not appear to be. the camera is also always on. So I hope you like microsoft listening and watching you.

[quote=iCanRapAndSing]I heard Ps4 consoles doesn't play Ps3 / Ps2 / Ps1 discs[/quote]

'Course not, making the PS4 backwards compatible with PS3, and even PS2 would mean having to put extra hardware in and putting more work into the system just to make that available, which means the price tag would exponentially go up.

You guys all know the story of the first waves of PS3s and how they were the only ones that were fully backwards compatible. That was one of the big reasons why the PS3 was so ridiculously expensive in the beginning. Now, Sony wouldn't want that to happen again would they?

Though I probably won't be buying the PS4 anytime soon.

Unless of course a new Armored Core game comes out on that console.

Honestly these sound like bs rumors. I mean the first one is a huge invasion of privacy, so that could potentially cause problems for microsoft. The second one though sounds more believable given how EA was charging for online passes for their games. It's really annoying that they're trying to squeeze money out of things like that. If any of it is true (hoprefully they reveal more at E3) then they are going to lose a lot of customers that's for sure.

I have a xbox 360 and I was looking forward to this alot but this spying and having to pay huge fees just for watching a movie or playing a game is too much. Too bad, the hardware is really good and now it is wasted.
