Microsoft's screaming, flailing drop into the abyss, maybe. They might be Atari-level stupid at this point, but Nintendo and Sony are still around and being intelligent, so hopefully those of us who supported Microsoft in the past can just jump onto another ship.

More discussion about the fees regarding used games. Still pretty muddy.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Adam Orth was definitely the precursor/foreshadowing to Xbox one's reputation.

The more xbox one news I hear, the more sure I am that I'll never purchase it. I'm literally speechless at the moment. Let this go down in the history books on what NOT to do with a new system, so that future generations can learn from M$'s mistakes. Shit, and I thought they were greedy before when they charged $90 for a wireless adapter and $60 a year to go online... but it just keeps getting worse. I wont doubt that Live will cost users money this time around too.

Fuck this, I've run out of appropriate reaction posts. I'll just post the fucking links.

Xbone may be using "visual DRM" in order to refuse playing movies if there are a certain amount of people in the room.

An update to the used games fiasco - the retailer pays the activation fee, not the consumer.

Microsoft expects lifetime sales of four hundred million units, still expects to sell another hundred million 360's before retiring it.

Microsoft applies for patents on TV achievements. Achievements. For fucking TELEVISION.

Other people can directly take control of your games and play them for you, ala PS4.

Voice commands during the reveal were faked.

If any of the policies end up sticking, I'm pretty sure it will hinder my purchase of this console. I won't buy a PS4 to save my life because I can't stand the UI and the actual exclusives of the console, but X1 may have to fight to keep me.

Halo is the only thing Xbox has going for it in my corner at the moment. I'm actually glad the controller did get a little better because the 360 controller has become the perfect controller for me in all sorts of situations.

I agree with Shamanic Enzan with his request to wait, but at the same time, Microsoft needs to realize what kind of hornet nest it has drop-kicked and royally pissed everyone the fuck off.

I mean, at first, I heard all the rumors, and I was pissed, then I heard some more, and I am still way pissed at what they were doing....but in all fairness, I want to see the multiplayer and gold things come into play.

Reputation is a great idea, as it gives me a way to not have to play with belligerent gamers. and troll children....

The problem is right now that there are so many conflicting reports right now that we can't tell what is real and what isn't anymore, and the emotion around it is just making it even more muddy. My advice for now is just calm down until E3 and for future announcements for Xbox One.

A lot of those conflicting reports originate from the horse's mouth in some way, so either they're desperately backpedalling in hopes that gamers are stupid enough to believe them, or their PR is so fucking stupid that even they don't know the full story on their side. While I agree that E3 should be a moment of clarify for many, neither of these possibilities are very good signs, and a lot of the stuff that has been unanimously confirmed by all - namely that it apes used games period, regardless of the method - is still stuff that I would never condone paying good money for.

Though I guess I've made no secret of how low my expectations are, so this post is probably redundant now that I look at it again.

Microsoft tries to shift blame on the press, giantbomb calls them out

It's pretty much what the cynic inside me said they were up to, they've given a ton of conflicting reports to different sources and are now pointing to all the differing reports as examples of why you shouldn't trust them. Cynic is also saying that they're doing this to hide that the worst case scenario is true under a mountain of "who really knows" and "those are just rumors". We of course won't know that till the thing comes out, but the taste in my mouth is bitter enough for me to know I'm gonna pass the xbone up.

I don't think it matters how bad the system may or may not be at this point. Popular opinion is already clearly against it, so the PS4 will have stronger support out of the gate and I think that inertia will carry it past the Xbone no matter what happens.

I'm as big a fan of the 360 as anyone, but Microsoft isn't going to be anywhere near successful with this.

You...do know you can just call me Enzan....right?

As for support and "jump" out of the gate, it's what we see right now, by the time E3 and release comes around, it could and probably will be a MASSIVELY different environment. Not saying it will definitely get better, but it might.

I'm still very leery of the PS4. Near complete lack of knowledge about it at this point is rather...disturbing.

Sorry Enzan, was late at night my friend. XP.

Xbox, please please please take all this negative response and DO something about it.

I feel like it's not even a thing with them trying to be successful. I feel like this whole reveal had no point. The most newsworthy thing they did was about the controller. I mean, anything that the PS4 ends up revealing will be WAY better than this. Because at least the PS4 has a level of fuck up that they KNOW not to reach.

Can this get better? Hell yes! But as I see it, with them even taking another month by being thrown off about the PS4, I'm very weary about what exactly they used in that month to advantage themselves because it sure as fuck wasn't this.
