Xbox announcement


"Update: Jon Hicks, the editor of Official Xbox magazine, has claimed that pre-owned games will be un-installed from the previous owner's system and installed onto another's. It is not clear if this process would negate a pre-owned fee."


so looks like it you give the game away, when they install you lose the game.


This should ruffle your feathers.


i'm pretty much a solid PC gamer now the only reason i even have my xbox is for halo.

and netflix on my tv ^_^

I have a PS3 for all that. Except Halo and I don't pay an online fee :D

i have 360 slim, as the only game i would play on the new xbox is halo 5 (assuming its a xbox one(stupid name) only game) then i see no reason to even get one :/ new kinect looks awesome though :P
 
even all my avid xbox friends are saying that they are disappointed with the tivoone i mean the xboxone
 
Im glad the xbox is making a huge jump from what it was, and might help console fan boys appriciate a pc more, (most likely not but i can wish). Its more a home entertainment centre than a console, they need to sell it as that not a games console anymore.
I was a xbox fanboy now im just gonna sell mine so i can get a 780 gtx or maybe 2 x 770 gtx
and a better ssd.
(i have/had alot of games)

I might keep the kinect for some kinect hacks :)
 
Aww I wish they would've brought this guy on

All I heard was, "Xbox One got DEM GIMMICKS!"
Kinect is seriously meh. That was innovative when the Wii came out. Since then it's been recreated by Microsoft and Sony.
As far as gaming is concerned, lulz have been had.

All I got was how they were going to control everything. How you watch the TV, what you use to watch it with, how you browse the internet and god knows what else.

Apparently you have to plug say your Freeview box into it and watch it through the Xbox.

All I heard was till bells ringing to the sound of subscriptions.

This is risky by M$ because Apple have already tried this with the Apple TV and failed.
 
this is going to be fun reading the fanboy fights between Xbox One and PS4

with the xbox one, you're f**ked if you have a speech impediment lol
 
whats funny is since there announcement and the arrogance shown on twitter "The xbox one will rule them all" sonys shares had a massive rise in the last hour of trading lolz >>

they showed off gaming technology the pc had in 2006 with crysis "volumetric lighting, smoke, shading, physx.

they showed off tv technology whats been on smart tv's since 2010 there was nothing inovative and new at all about it apart from windows 8.1 and a better kinect... the console itself looks awefull ill try and get a photo of my sky+hd box look it side by side and the xbox one looks just like it.

another big fail is there tv service thing well it will be USA only at launch and you need a digital settop box or satalite system plugged directly into it for it to even work... >>

By the sounds of it you not only need say your cable box but an addon for the Xbox 1 aswell $ for MS, you want to play a used game $ for MS, want to watch the live halo she says it's premier which normally is $ for MS, Just have a word with your boss ask if he can just pay your wages into MS bank account
 
tbh I don't really get why all you guys are moaning about it. I'm seeing a lot of you say it isn't even really a "games" console, and? It is not meant to be, it is meant to be a device for the mainstream, for the causal gamer who enjoys fifa and cod, for the family etc etc. It is not meant for hardcore gamers and tbh I think that it does what it is supposed to very nicely. If it comes in at a decent price then it's going to be awesome in my opinion.
 
BTW in the UK we won't be getting any of the TV stuff. They may be able to get it working with a few USA cable boxes but Freeview will stuff their chit up.
