You will always hear the angry over the happy. Now yes, this amount of crap isn't acceptable, and while courier services may be to blame, consoles should be a little more stronger than just breaking like this and the PS4, I don't see Microsoft or Sony shoving their fingers in their ears (RROD!) this time. And they seem genuinely shocked this is occurring. That may be bs but hey, it's their reaction in the face of this that will count. (Also dat cloud doe) |

Saw that on reddit before, it's unbelievable... but I've learned not to trust Microsoft promises. Just look at that first reveal trailer of the first Kinect... makes it look as if it's made for a third rendition of the Kinect. And Milo would have been the thing to actually get people excited for a Kinect game. Not continuing on that project was a huge mistake. Edited by Havoc the Tenrec, Nov 25 2013, 07:05 AM.

I spent a very long time looking for one of the articles I saw, but since we're on the topic, it's worth mentioning that Stephen Elop, who was the previous boss of Nokia before Microsoft bought the company, is one of the potential new guys to lead Microsoft as its new CEO. It seems he has a great interest in getting rid of both the Xbox and Bing brands. That's an old article, so who knows what's happened since. But that was the most recent chapter in this thing as far as I'm aware. Kotaku had nothing on it. The initial source is from Bloomberg. |

This actually is something that seems to work in their favour regardless of whether or not they actually are just doing it to look good. From what it seems, if anybody has a messed up One they can bring it to their Microsoft store and get it replaced. Seems like a good idea on Microsoft's end if that is actually the case because they have many consoles in stock in many areas. Not including the MS store, 3/5 Target stores around me have them as well as some other stores. With Black Friday coming up, it helps to try and help instead of brushing aside the problem(s) because people will care enough to talk about this. Doubt it would drastically affect sales but they're not dumb enough to try and avoid the potential for getting more than losing more with this situation (at least I'd hope they're not dumb lol). On a side note, I've found myself watching a crap ton of Killer Instinct videos and streams in my free time. I wanna try this game out sometime, especially when the Mad Catz KI stick comes out! |

I'm willing to get the stick which costs $200. It's fine to assume I'll pay full price for the game and the content if I manage to get an XBox One. |

You can be banned from Xbox Live for swearing during an upload. And as if that wasn't bad enough, you can be banned from XBL for swearing during a Skype chat. A PRIVATE FUCKING SKYPE CHAT. IN A NON-TEXT CONVERSATION. WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK WOULD ANYONE DO THIS. |

Fuck that, it's still personal shit and that just means that they're listening in on private conversations. Kids or no, what the hell does that say about these guys trying to be the next NSA? |

I think they work with the NSA, they were one of the companies supporting them. |

To be fair, Kinect 2 has speech recognition built in - and if they can use voice alone to browse menus they sure as fuck can use it to detect naughty words without the help of a human being. It is still nonetheless none of Microsoft's fucking business what I say to buddies over Skype, and it annoys the hell out of me that both they and Nintendo insist that I shouldn't be able to talk to people like a functioning adult. I mean fuck, can I at least just mark myself as NSFW so clueless soccer mums with no concept of parental controls aren't bothered? Something as simple as that would solve literally everything. |
