Xbox announcement

I agree with what you're saying. What I said was just my view on why people don't moan about selling/lending apps/music.

Yeah I get what your saying. I think it is because we grew up with lending back in the days of cartriges so it is common place now if you get me where as apps have always been buy it if you want it. Then again if someone wants to use an app on my phone I will just give them my phone. Eg my nephew and the games on my phone or my mates looking up whats on when I am out having pints.

It would be more of an issue to lend your mate your xbox and games and they would want it for more than a few mins or hours more like days.

I think the problem is that apps are around £5 at most, while console games are usually £40+

Tbh I don't know what the fuss is over not being able to sale/lend used games you haven't been able to sale used PC games for years soldier of fortune 2 was the first game I remember with a cd key which was 6 months after the original Xbox's was released, so in theory console gamers have got off lightly up till now

Yeah but consoles dont have the likes of steam, cjs-cdkeys, gog etc that have massive sales (well not round me anyway). A good discount over here on a console game is like 10e off. Thats why when I was using my ps3 I would nearly always buy used. When consoles start to incorporate digital downloads for most of their games as an option we might see lower prices.

you can preorder the xbox one on amazon.de
for f'ing 1000 euro

everyone who gets the shitbox instead of a PC is just stupid now
the old "i play on xbox because it's cheaper" thing doesn't work anymore

edit:
you can't actually preorder it, but it's listed
just for comparison..

That's normal procedure on Amazon though. They list it at 1000€ cause there are no official prices yet. If the console was 500€ at release you'd only pay 500€. They do this with games too. You can preorder games for 70€ but in reality they're always ~50€-60€ at release. This still won't change my mind about the new Xbox though and even 500€ for this console would be a bad joke.

Still, that doesn't keep me from not getting the new Xbox.

So in other words you're okay with wasting money?

Oops, properly messed up my grammar there. :lol: Nah, I'm not getting any of the next gen consoles. They have absolutely nothing to offer other than a handful of exclusives.

That's the reason they sell to PC gamers lol. Also console gamers choose which IPs they like the most and go with whichever has it.

Besides whichever it is how do you know if they sound good? Xcrap definitely needs a slim version imo; the thing is HUGE!

Don't you guys know the consoles will be a whole generation ahead of PC? That is, according to EA. :lol:

Techincally yes at the release of consoles. You don't see no 8 core APU on the market with a GCN gpu in the same die or 8gb of GDDR5 unified system memory do you? After a few years pc graphics will will again be better. Only reasons why consoles will look better is because if it's a console exclusive devs can maxed out the system etc etc. but eventually brute horsepower will just be too much for them to compete with.
