Xbox One

I chuckled at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yC8FbgGnd0

Ok, I have this hypothesis. What if Microsoft made the Xbox One to fail. They know gamers won't stand for their douche buggery. What if...Microsoft is banking on the Xbox one to fail, just to reintroduce the Xbox 360 as the "Xbox Classic" as a budget system?

I know its crazy, but Coke did it and it worked.

Your hypothesis may not be that crazy.

I just realized something.
The xbox 360 is going to be largely unsupported by developers soon, no new games coming out means used games will be the only way to get games for the system.
Oh
Oh God
The stupidity of Microsock is hurting my brain.

Are Rock band tracks still available for download? I want to get all The Beatles RB DLC.

And does the Xsock One have a internal wi-fi adapter?
I have no live on my Xbox 360 because I do not have one.

I've read somewhere that it does come with a built in wifi, it'd be a stupid move not do do so...well...another stupid move.  But then again, the 360 slims already come with built in wifi.

And honestly I believe that MS themselves will drop support for the 360 before the developers do lol.  All to push people to the One.

Except for people without internet.

anyone getting some ken kutaragi vibes from don mattrick's statements lately? "people who want backwards compatibility are backwards", "tough shit; get a 360 lol"...

[FFXIK]

I for one will not be affected at all by the limitation of the xbox one.

1 I have a 10mb connection
2 I am a hardware whore so backwards compatibility is moot for me.  I'll still have my 360.
3 I don't sell my games. 
4 My XBLA account is pretty much online anyway.  When I turn on my 360 it connects and that's it.

That said

Screw the Xbox One!


I love physical media.  It looks sweet on a shelf.  I do love to play my games after support for a console has died.  I do buy lots of used games too.  <----- Massive deal breaker. 

 
I fixed it.

Same here, but as for #3: Problem is not the selling for me either as I rarely sell, but I do buy used games

[Azazell0]

I had Wii, PS3 and XBOX 360 and currently I've sold them all forwards. I don't think I ever bought a game for any of those consoles that was brand new. So yeah buying used games is a big deal for me in general.

Here's an article from Forbes re: xblarcade: http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/06/01/microsoft-you-must-keep-your-360-to-ever-play-xbla-games/

I think it's funny:

Xbox (Original): Plays its own games
Xbox 360: Plays its games and Xbox (Original), doing a 360 and going back to its roots.
Xbox One: Plays its own games (derp).

Maybe that is why they never called it Xbox 720, because it never looks back =S

Haha, the Xbox one's digital games are permanent? The system has a pre-destined date of death. Once those servers are gone, you have a shiny box and a load of installation discs that will never work again.

Yup. The system is basically counting down to becoming a door stopper as soon as you spend $500.

I didn't laugh until the Kinect part about it just watching you. 

[wiggy]

That shit'll get sooooo hacked and those servers won't matter come the end of the One's life.
