The only plus I can see is that Miscrosoft is trying to force cable companies to itemize based on the user's preferences, meaning if I only want to have the 8 channels I actually watch, then that's all I pay for. No more paying $90/mo for 1000 channels of crap I don't want.
I agree. I order a decent sized cable package all to get two channels. I'd pay $30 a month for the 15 or so channels I do watch. That's a better rate per channel than I pay. Maybe then we can stop subsidizing the channels that outright suck. Yes, that does mean NASCAR and MLBTV.
And I just watched the first episode of Community, this could be good.
Lets see PS4 has lower price point, does not require internet connectivity at all, no restrictions on trading and selling used games, the Eye is not always on like the connect and is not collecting information that could conceivably be used to spy on you, from a hardware perspective they are virtually identical.
Im afraid that MS is sinking themselves. It seems Sony learned its lesson from the PS3 and some of the mistakes they made there at launch that put them considerably behind in that generation of consoles.
At 500.00 the xbox exclusives are no longer worth the purchase. there just aren't that many exclusives that I care about.
On another note I love that im getting 2 free games every month until the new Xbox comes out. Thats awesome.
But it seems PS4 is the way to go this time around. Previously I bought all 3 systems but this time around PS4 is likely the only one i'm buying though I may get a Wii-U once the price point goes down this fall.
I was pretty sold on not getting the new Xbox when they said no backwards compatibility and tried saying the "chip sets" are just too different. Right...Like that cant get fixed with a few thousand dollars and room full of 18 year olds with glasses. Its not like they created a computer program that could run console games or a mod to run windows on consoles or anything. In today's world of technology it seems to me that "hardware differences" are just not an excuse when your talking about technology this new compared to technology that isn't that old...
Anyway, I was pretty sure I wasn't getting one until they previewed Dead Rising 3. Now I'm wondering if 560 is too much to spend so I could continue playing my favorite zombie franchise...

Xbox One might also be able to use Kinect/Illumiroom technology to identify who's in the room and deliver game/marketing content accordingly. *That* is my favorite bit.
I heard about that, but I bet it wont roll out the way they want it too. My kinect isn't pointed at my couch because we dont have enough room between the TV and the Couch for the kinect to pick us up and actually track us in game, so my kinect points towards the wall and the empty side of the room at all times and we just swivel the TV to face that side of the room when we're ready to play the kinect. I'm sure I'm not the only Xboxer that has their TV set up that way.
So does this mean that you're gonna start saving up for that Wii U after all, K-Man?
Don't you have a birthday coming up?

The heck??? If XBOX is going with this method, I can see the rest of the industry following along. This does stink, though. I mean, with the Wii you could download older games to your virtual console - but paying MSRP for the license blows in many ways. Based on this info, I most definitely will not even consider buying the next gen XBOX. Ugh
The PS4, however, is not doing this. Though I bet they probably were thinking about it until they got wind of the blowback MS got... which was insane.
And I'm surprised K-Ness was coherent enough to post anything, after seeing that.

Now that you mention it, you have me wondering whether this particular news item had anything to do with the pinched nerve in K-Ness's glute. Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmm....."

Is there some reason he hasn't been in prior versions of the games?
Yes, there is. To date it has all been a conspiracy to keep K-Ness from buying a Wii U. Now it's all about making him spend the bucks.

Sorry that you smurfed up your left foot and are in hellish pain over it.

Smash Bros. started on the concept of Nintendo's All-stars (I.E. own property characters) duking it out. In Melee, Nintendo started to look outside their own properties for additions and were planning to include Snake, but the time the approvals and licensing went through, the game was too far developed to include him. Instead, Snake and Sonic were both included in Brawl. It takes a bit to work out licensing agreements and such.
