GAF compiled a list of negative publicity against the Xbone... and it ain't pretty.

Spurred on by Eurogamer and Jim Sterling, perhaps? It's worth noting that according to guys at SSMB, Polygon is blatantly on Microsoft's payroll, so when even they are saying they fucked up badly then something has gone seriously wrong.

I don't think Polygon is in MS' pocket, they just tend to not say such crazy things one way or the other, surprised the Reddit posting isn't a bigger story yet though

Worst... console rep.... ever. I can't remember the last time a system received so much heat and conspiracy right before E3. I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox One gets booed a few times from the audience floor.


Edit: The reddit thing is a rumor

At this point I feel like saying that M$ fucked up is putting it lightly. Are they that dumb/greedy? It gets to a point where they at least need to learn to shut their fucking mouth(s). Even if they came out with a completely different console at this point which is nothing like "that One", they wouldn't be able to salvage their name (at least not for a very long time imo).

@Havoc There are some people trolling on Reddit, and then there are some who must be fanboys or (assumed to be) an employee of M$. It's not a hard thing to do honestly and if they really want to throw some cash at somebody to mindlessly babble/dribble on about the console in a positive manner. Plus, all it takes is finding that one person who's in the mood to screw around with people too if this is the case (M$ employee). In all honesty though, if there are M$ employees on reddit (or possibly other sites) doing this, then it's kind of pathetic and childish. However if it's not an employee then I assume it's either a troll or a fanboy, which is normal with every generation regarding people/consumers and what company/console they're support.

Anyway, like a said a few pages ago, this isn't even the good part I think. We still have time until the console is even out so we'll see what's to come from M$.

Edit: I feel obligated to repost this .gif for M$

Yeah I was figuring that would be the case.

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 = ???

I swear, every time I go through this topic, I have to check to see if I'm still awake as everything that pops up just seems so surreal and unlikely. I have a feeling Microsoft will be getting nominations for the Golden Poo Award next time around.

We'll see how the execution goes before we give them the EA award.

Oh FUCK.

Xbox One is launching this November in 21 different markets, Microsoft announced this morning. Here’s what’s going to be inside each box:

Xbox One console with 500GB hard drive
Blu-ray drive and Wi-Fi included in console
Kinect peripheral
Xbox One Wireless Controller
Free 14-day trial of Xbox Live Gold

The Xbox One launch bundle will be available for $499.99 in the U.S., £429 (GBP) in the U.K. and €499 (EUR) in European markets.

Microsoft are also introducing a limited edition commemorative bundle for those that reserve the system at major retailers. This system will be available awhile supplies last and will guarantee a purchase on day one. It will come in premium black packaging with a limited edition Xbox One Day One wireless controller.

Also included in the commemorative bundle will be an exclusive “Day One” achievement, as well as bonus items for various Xbox One games. Details on this content are as follows:
They're literally throwing out a bonus achievement to people who buy the console day one. This is so fucking stupid, and yet I just KNOW they've already won over a host of extrodinarily retarded achievement whores with it.

Oh yeah, and the console sells for FIVE HUNDRED US DOLLARS. In case you didn't already realize.

Not surprised about the price, though.

To be frank, I want to hold back on it until either a new edition comes out, or just pass over it and stick with the Wii U.
