Mick Dundee:
Looks like I'll wait until there is an exclusive that I can't go without playing before buying any of these 3 newer systems.
Wii U = Zelda
PS4 = maybe a GoW game
360 = possibly a Fable game.

 I haven't been wanting to play ANY games lately.....not sure why.

The last Fable game sucked something hard...

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

Based on what I've been reading it sounds like the game is more so tied to your live account than your actual hardware.  Meaning that playing the same game on multiple machines in one house is possible.

 I may be wrong, but that's what I got out of it.

I've never been an X-Box fan, and seeing all these newfangled systems with ultra-high prices tags is sickening. I already have a Blu-Ray player, so HD isn't something I need in a console. Plus, downloadbale exclusives like restored arcade classics tick me off. Bill Gates should've left gaming alone. :(
