Though... the fact that you can plug in your 360 into the ONE's hdmi in and play like that is actually pretty cool
Aaaaaand add yet another item to the list of "things Microsoft doesn't seem to realize we can already do with our TVs alone".

In the sense that if your TV doesn't have 2 HDMI slots it could be useful, but not necessary, unless it's one of those impossible to reach ones in the back... wait.. nevermind all you have to do is change the front end. Yeah pretty useless.

The Xbone is obviously for people with more money than sense anyway, so with all due respect if you can't afford a TV with multiple HDMIs you were probably never in Microsoft's market to begin with. =V

The great paradox lies in the fact that people with that much money likely already have a TV that can do most of, if not all of, the things the Xbone touts as selling points without having to fucking shout at it, so it honestly begs the question of which niche they're trying to fill, exactly. If there is one, I just can't see it.

I have most of the XBONE's TV features on my Google TV, but they look more refined and with better data from TV providers from what I've seen.

Also, get banned? Keep your games.

Microsoft thinks the $500 price tag is "over-delivering" on value.

While I don't agree with their idea of over-delivering, the PS4 with its motion controller only shy from the 500 dollar price by $40 bucks. Damn you consoles and your prices. XP

Considering the best PC gaming video cards alone can cost $300-$600, console prices are pretty good deals for all the extra bells and whistles. Still I'm not paying the extra $100.

Yes, even in fucking AMERICA they can't guarantee you will be able to play at launch. The kicker? According to Microsoft, those red states will have to wait until 2015 until they can guarantee a working service.

Microsoft, stop it. The console hasn't even launched yet. How on earth do you even have any feet left to shoot off?

You do realize that's a joke site right. I mean the only places this is posted reference back to the p4rgaming site, it's clearly satire but the internet keeps acting like it's real.

I mean, I don't like to say this very often, but even giving this the thought of being real without verification makes you very very stupid to me.

Well, Microsoft's already been acting like some kind of South Park-esque parody of itself anyway, so forgive me for being unable to tell the difference. :DOH:

Oh hell it's funny and almost true. You just happened to be the 50th person claiming it was real.

Lucky winner gets C4 and happy ending.
