At 500 bucks it hard to defend. I paid that much for myps3...but it was the only way to play baseball. I think when 2 consoles launch at the same time and one is 100 buck less that's it's a no brainer

And the PS4 is more powerful (not that that really means too much as far as consoles are concerned)...so it feels like for Juan you're paying $100 more for things that aren't a benefit (Kinect/DRM).

Not to mention you are able to buy used games and lend games to friends without a penalty on the PS4.

Yeah. That's mostly what I meant with DRM. I'm still pretty confused how all of MS' DRM nonsense is going to work. The only thing that I do know is that it isn't going to make people happy and however it does work, it probably won't work well.

Even if you just be ignorant to the reported PS3 additional power and go with "the games will look the same"...then what the shit are you paying $100 extra for? The intrusive camera you're forced to use? lol

 

[Swarley]

so why did ms suck so bad and what did sony do that kicked ass?

Microsoft actually didn't do a bad job yesterday. The whole thing boils down to Sony coming out and going $100 cheaper, no online check-in and no restrictions against used/rented games.

Buy one of the first batch of consoles, and get an exclusive Achievement!

The first run of Xbox One consoles will be labeled as the Day One Edition and come with an exclusive Achievement and a commemorative controller, according to the Xbox website.

The package, which Microsoft says will be "available in limited quantities at select retailers while supplies last," includes an Xbox One console, Kinect sensor, specially labeled controller and an HDMI cable. The controller is marked with the phrase "Day One 2013" right in the middle, as you can see in the image above.

Guaranteed day one buy for Twigg now. :huggy:

 

[Swarley]

Not that I'm going to be one of those people, but why in the hell would I want that shit on my controller?

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

I never thought they would be. I predicted $499-$599 if you recall.

I'm also closing in on 50 years old and I think I am losing the desire to own this stuff. I still like gaming but I don't find it as useful to me as I used to.

The DRM check in shit really screwed them in the eyes of gamers. Now 100$ for no piece of shit restrictions ? Im likely in.

Don Mattrick and Microsoft "absolutely" anticipated the pushback by consumers

Geoff Keighley had an interview with Don Mattrick (recorded pre conference) - here are some excerpts:


Keighley:"Did you know or did you anticipate the way the people would push back?"
Mattrick:"Absolutely - it's a super passionate community of people... till you use it [Xbox One] it's really hard to understand what all the advantages are."

Did he really just say that! I've been a huge supporter of Xbox over the years and that statement makes me want to tell Microsoft to kiss my ass

 

[Houston]

:yao: Dope, I'll just keep my 360 rather than buying a One.

You should either way.
