Xbox One
Polygon:
It IS account based. That means anyone with multiple account on their X-Box will NOT be able to play games between accounts without paying the fee. This new X-Box is a load of crap. I don't care what it does or what games it has. I won't be buying it out of principal. They are taking away control from the consumer little by little. It's going to hurt the rental industry and the used game sellers. I think everyone should boycott this damn thing and I feel that anyone that buys it is a fool.

It's a pretty nice looking box, but the dust collector at the top (giant mess of slats/vents), ugh, that'll be fun to blow out with canned air every 3 days :(

I probably won't be getting this day one only because I think it will be very expensive but I am excited to see what else is in store. When the Dreamcast came out almost 15 years ago I didn't pay attention/didn't want it until I played it at Target the day it came out and had to have one. If it has amazing games on it that are better than the versions on PS4/Wii U or even exclusive people will buy it even if it has some stupid DRM like features.

But we know about it now. Something's aren't as bad as expected, and some other things are a hell of a lot worse. I'm still not getting it. I have no plans to buy an on-line subscription, and considering you need to be on-line to register the game, that's 50 odd euro that I'm tied down to spend every 14 months. Kinect is also mandatory, something I have no interest in, so that's another extra expense their bundling with the console that I don't need/want. No used game (now days) are worth their retail price, plus an addition fee, which will likely be 10-20 dollars.
Where is the overreaction in comment? Who are you to tell people their overreacting?
If I'm honest, I'm happy that their doing this. I'm saving 500 - 700 euro by not buying it!

I just think people saying they won't (or will for that matter) buy this or PS4 based on the teasers we've seen are overreacting. We still have not seen any gameplay or played the games for ourselves. I did say in that post that I probably won't buy it because I'm sure it will be very expensive. I want to see more and play it myself before I make a decision and think some people who are saying they won't get it now are being hard headed and should wait until it's out to make a final decision.

That's cool. Your entitled to your opinion brother. I shall not be getting it.

i loved the press conference. everything was just as bad as you'd expect. way things are looking, we're now getting one entry this gen that will just be a lightning rod for everything and everyone i don't want to be associated with. hopefully that just leaves more room for sony and nintendo to step it up.
if that came across as fanboyish, i apoligize. i just don't like what the industry has become and this new device can potentially channel a lot of that away from my favorite hobby. since all the hardware players are trying to break out of the console gen cycle to stay relevant in the face of new tech, hopefully they'll all have their own sort of crowd and it'll be much easier to decide which platform is relevant for your product.
