Personally the XboxOne is kind of a "meh" for me at the moment. I feel like i should be in the honeymoon faze where my excitement is blinding me of the flaws the system has (what usually happens). I've felt it with every console announced since the beginning but this one isn't really generating a whole lot of personal excitement ... AND i actually played my 360 most out of this past generation. We shall see what E3 can do to try and sway me to pick one up at launch. --- Quote from: Heilman11085 on May 21, 2013, 07:16:22 PM ---I think you guys are just old guys and can't embrace change! Did you not see the comparison video of detail from MW3 and COD Ghost? Huge I mean HUGE difference! I personally will get it on launch! --- End quote --- Umm ... are you trolling us? Its not that no one wants to embrace change, its that the change is going to cost the consumer much more in the long run per game. Just an educated guess but i would say half of the games people buy are pre-owned. With a fee associated with a pre-owned product arises then gamers will in turn end up simply spending more money. This whole 'extra fee for used games' thing is convoluting things so badly its quite a turn off. Personally i probably buy 5 new games a year and the rest are all pre-owned. I like the feeling of getting a good deal every once and a while plus some games i do have the desire to play but i simply don't think they are worth the premium they cost new (ie: most fighting games ... I'm not paying $60 for one, no way!). Cod of Duty comparisons. Uh yeah a game that was made two years ago should look terrible in comparison to a brand new game. Especially when its on new hardware and the company who makes the games has more money to pour into R & D than they know what to do with. ;) EDIT: Spelling/autocorrect errors |

"Just to confuse matters even more, Microsoft's Phil Harrison has suggested that if you 'loan' a game to a friend they'll have to pay effectively the full price of the game to unlock it on thier console. Basically when you buy an Xbox One game, you'll get a unique code that you enter when you install that game. You'll have to connect to the Internet in order to authorize that code, and the code can only be used once. Once you use it, that game will then be linked to your Xbox Live account. "It sits on your hard drive and you have permission to play that game as long as you'd like," Phil Harrison told Kotaku." Presumably this means that those of us who have a games room, and a current gen set up in the lounge would need 2 licenses for any game we want to play on 2 machines? If they are trying to market this as an all in one entertainment system, then I would assume they would like people to have more than one console in the house. Plenty of people these days have a man cave, home cinema room, games room, etc. I really don't think they have thought this through logically. Someone in their r&d department needs to be fired. As a side note, I think the hardware looks gorgeous. And seems they fixed the d-pad too |

i keep saying to myself, "im not gonna get one" but then halo 5 will come out and so i'll have to have one! also, isnt a lot of the stuff there trying to do similar to what they tried with the 360? |

I know i will end up getting one, as i'm like a magpie to shiny things when it comes to electronics. But it wont be at launch, and it wont be until they stop contradicting themselves in interviews. lol. |
