24-hour online verification: CONFIRMED

That's one nail in the coffin...
A lot of other nails too, no required (up to the Publishers!) fee to trade games. You can loan to friends, but only if they've been your friend for 30 days and you can only loan each game once. Once per 24 hour verification is on your local console, remotely it's limited to 1 hour of offline play. Xbox that's off only can accept or read "Xbox On"

There's supposed to be a thing where you can share between 10 "Family" xboxes... but the details aren't clear.

What they're basically saying is that the Xbone has a 10 account limit and that used game blocks don't apply to accounts on the same console. At least, I don't think that could be construed any other way.

That being said nearly everything else that's been said about the Xbone has come true, in some ways even worse than what was originally expected, so all the same Microsoft can go fuck themselves. I literally can't believe they were arrogant enough to do things so anti-competitive and draconian, and I'm also absolutely goddamned baffled that people are still willingly preordering it.

You already have to pay extra money for seperate Live Gold subscriptions for each account on the 360, so frankly you're probably not that far off the mark.

To be honest, I might not even go with the next generation this year, except for the Wii U. Microsoft right now is going to have to take out a lot of stuff to convince me to get an Xbox One now.

Same goes for Sony, whom I have not forgiven for the complete lack of responsibility they displayed during the hack scandals.

All I can hope for now is that Dragon Age III will come out on the 360. That's really the only game I'm the most nervous about bypassing the 360. Everything else, meh.

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 = ???

Wasn't their fault, it was hackers. I rather have a month off of online PSN than pay $60 a year. Plus they gave people a bunch of free shit after all that crap. They gave away 2 free games and I think a month or two of PSN+.

Even if you can't forgive them for something out of their control, this is a different generation of consoles so that's almost a moot point.

No, they took an entire month of denial there was a problem before they stepped up to the plate. The attacks started in February. They didn't do much about it until March. Not to mention that the security protocols weren't updated since the launch of the console.

EDIT: Wait, it was two months. It was late April when they made the official statement there was a problem.

EDIT2: Don't believe me?

While it wasn't their fault, they are ultimately responsible for not being forward with their loyal consumers, and for two months is completely ridiculous. I unplugged my PS3 in June of 2011, and traded it in for the Wii U in September 2012. That's 14 months without touching it.

Eh, I'm sure they learned their lesson this time around.
We'll have to wait for xbone 2 to wait for Microsoft's lessons to be learned.

Or a Slim version. :P

And do excuse me if I'll be giving Sony the evil eye the entire time as the PS4 will have to work to prove its worth to me.

I bought the Wii U at launch. I don't regret it. I think that's the only console I got that was at launch, although my first 360 was a launch console. It lasted 3 years, 7 months.
