Just think, these people have salaries larger than the budgets of some small countries, and yet this is the best they could do.

Wow, that's quite generous. Only problem is that there's nothing coming out just yet for the 360 that I can upgrade to the One anytime soon. Only one I see is Dragon Age: Inquisition, and that's over a year away, well past the deadline stated.

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 = ???

Not surprised, really. There was a family Gold plan card that allowed several accounts on the same console to use Gold.

The pad also costed $100 million to develop. I don't think it should cost that much money to make a controller that is virtually identical to the previous pad save for a Dpad that isn't complete and utter shit.

Perhaps they can do a 180 on development on the console and, y'know, cancel it?

The same guy's also complaining that this was a bad thing that shouldn't have happened. As a refresher, he complained about the DRM removal, mostly with a hefty dose of "waaaah now I can't share my games with my friends!"

To be fair, I liked the idea of being able to tell the Xbox One to wake up by verbally doing so, but with that NSA shit now looming over it, with the potential of the Kinect legimately spying on you, it's not something that intelligent people would want to risk for just one cool feature.

Though, after reading, it seems that the "Xbox On" command will still work. That's nice. You still haven't sold me, though, Microsoft.

Company learning from its mistakes... this is why I said the PS4 would'nt be overpriced like the last one at launch. Still it's funny watching them struggle to fix things at the last second.

Have we even SEEN the Kinect 2 in action???

"waaaah now I can't share my games with my friends!"
You know, the more I see people saying this the more I think it's just the dumbest fucking concept ever invented. At least as far as the digital market is concerned. In retail this actually has purpose, because only a limited amount of copies can ever be printed and only a limited amount of copies can be stocked by any given retailer. Buying a game detracts from that stock. Buying digital doesn't. If a friend wants to by the same game somebody else once and said friend doesn't want the game anymore, why not just ask for a fucking refund? Friend one spends money, friend two makes money, there literally isn't a single iota of difference and it would save both friends the trouble of having to exchange details (and in the would-be Xbone's case, hovering on their friends list for a week or so because FUCK YOU WE'RE MICROSOFT)

There are a number of demo videos provided by Kotaku and the likes. And I'm sure that we'll see even more once the Xbox One becomes playable at upcoming game conventions (like the EB Expo here in Australia; I'm gonna check out the One, at least.)

Kyle Wagner? Yeah he's all for sacrifices in the present for innovations in the future because he can afford them. I agree with him sometimes, but as you said, with the NSA and other stuff coming out I'm okay. Also I've seen that you can customize the level of "off" (when there became 50 Shades of Off I will never know) to have it so you can still tell it "Xbox On" and use it as an interface with your remotes when the camera is off.


Also I'm afraid I can't let you do that Dave.
