400$ may be not THAT bad, but if they can just push away those gimmick, the console would cost far less than that.

Not by much. Motion controls are beginning to be more common now

That doesn't make them better either. Even if we can take that out, we still have more issue to deal with, like DLC, Online pass, etc...

[Uncle Ben]

Online passes are gonna be phased out

[Alextendo]

For EA.......at least for now.......

[Uncle Ben]

No a lot more companies are gonna follow suit. Rockstar is next i think

We will see, i lost trust in the video game industry.

That's the problem though. I don't really NEED a high priced system that can do all that. It is supposed to play games. What games have they promoted for it that won't be elsewhere?

Simple: So you dont need a cable box, a system and a dvd/bluray player. All you need is Xbox One. Its only gonna be $400 (and considering how PS3 whkas like $400-600 at launch) Its All in One. They announced 15 exclusives for Xbox One. Halo, GoW, Fable and one revealed today Called Quantum Break (http://www.ign.com/a...e-quantum-break) there are more but they arent known yet

Watch the whole Reveal event... I cant describe everything you HAVE to see it

Don't like Gears of War, Halo is okay, and I never got big in Fable. Course my playing of Fable was my friend handing me the controller while he went to get a soda.

Also PS3 plays BluRays, I don't use cable I use satellite, So again all the gimmicky stuff I dun want. So most of my money is wasted.

Also Kinect kinda sucks so.....motion controls aren't really a plus.

[Uncle Ben]

You dont need a cable to get TV. The bluray is cause the old disc couldnt have as much info as blu-ray. Give it a shot

[RedAuthar]

Until they give announce games I actually wanna play I don't really care about the bonuses.

Did anyone know a guy called ''Angry Joe''? Well, he made a video to talk about the ''Xbox One'', and he take the word right out of my mouth: https://www.youtube....e&v=9ekOtn7L1N0

Did anyone know a guy called ''Angry Joe''?

The guy who got a full refund at Gamestop (yes, GAMESTOP) because he hated Sonic Free Riders so much?

I know him all right.

Yeah, that's him! What i like about his video is his honesty. He's not a fanboy and he doesn't talked bullshit stuff from a bias position. In this video i just post, he made very good point and are some of the reason that i've already was pissed even before watching that video.

I'm glad to finally learn some info about the new system, but I will admit the system has a confusing name. I still think it's a better name than Wii U. However, the fact that it's not going to be backwards compatible doesn't really make it worth getting for me. If my 360 ever breaks again, I'd like some way to play my old games. And the 360 wasn't completely backwards compatible with the original XBox either.

The name is a refference to the fact that its supposed to be an "All in One" system. PS4 isnt gonna have backwards compatability either because the new opperating system and processors kind of prevents it. My Xbox has lasted 5 years with no problems

[Alextendo]

Alright, so let's do a recap, shall we?
So, the Xbox One (which is one of the stupidest name i've ever heard for a game console) can make you watch tv (because obviously people want to buy an Xbox to watch tv, right?), is not compatible with 360 games (of course not, that would be a good idea after all) and can do many thing at once. I think it may play game too, but who ever buy a game console to play game, right? Joke aside, we have an explanation why EA get rid of their ''online pass'' policies, because Microsoft do that for them. With the Xbox One, you'll have to connect your game to your account, so that the game would be lock to your console. If you want to pass one of your game to a friend, he'll have to pay to play it. That's mean you'll need a connexion for each and every time you put a new game in your console. If you don't have a connexion for the Xbox One, well you're screw! Also, the Kinect 2 or whatever how they called it is now mandatory. They don't care if you'll end up using it or not, you'll still be forced to used it in a way or another. So, in the end, what do we have? Let's see:
-Connexion needed (obligatory)
-Kinect 2 obligatory
-Alot of stuff that no one will used but whatever
-Anti re-sell system that everyone hate
-Money (you'll need alot if you consider getting this piece of junk)
-probably a new RROD or something like that (Microsoft love to sell you more than one console)
......and other bullshit.

[Uncle Ben]

the needed connection has been backtracked so its unknown. Kinect 2 is so the voice communications can function, and PS4 isnt gonna have backwards compatability due the the engine and the processors make it nearly impossible.

The needed connexion has been confirmed. Because by the need to activated your game, you'll need to pass through the online service to do so. Once the game is activated, then your fine. But without connexion, you can't activate your game, which mean you won't going to play ANYTHING! Thank you Microsoft, thank you...*sound of me killing puppies*

[Uncle Ben]

Wrong it was backtracked yesterday after the reveal. besides with a built in wifi you really shouldnt worry about losing connection (unless comcast just hates you like they do with my house).

[Alextendo]

It's not about constant/permanent connexion, but rather the connexion is require to connect your game to your account. Once done, you don't need to be connected to play. So what i mean is a connexion is mandatory to a certain extend (which is still bullshit).

BULL*****!!!!!!!!

This is DRM even if they aren't saying it. I'm all for a boycott of this system at this point.

[Uncle Ben]

From what i saw i liked what i saw. I know im gonna use most of what they said it can do
