[hybridsoldier23]

yo hybrid, are you NDAd on the specs???

'

What do you want to know? I don't know about the production model, I can only speak about the latest dev kits.

Everyone blew my phone up asking about DDR5, It does not have DDR5

 

[thenoguy]

idk im sure some people bought a ps3 for god of war 3 or for mgs 4

Maybe they did, but those people are hardcore gamers. They probably also bought an XBOX for Halo.

With E3 20 days away, the lack of games today wasn't so bad, but they could have at least showed actual gameplay of something. It was all cut scenes.

From wired just posted at 1:30 pm:

There’s one feature of Xbox One from which we can infer quite a few conclusions: You can install any game from the disc to the console’s hard drive, and then play that game whenever you like without having to put the disc in.

Wired asked Microsoft if installation would be mandatory. “On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” the company responded in an emailed statement. Sounds mandatory to us.

What follows naturally from this is that each disc would have to be tied to a unique Xbox Live account, else you could take a single disc and pass it between everyone you know and copy the game over and over. Since this is clearly not going to happen, each disc must then only install for a single owner.

Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc.

PS4 doing the same thing

 

[KingParappa]

I really don't think exclusives are what drive console demand anymore. The average person isn't buying an XBOX for Forza or a PS4 for Killzone, and the people who care that much about exclusives almost always end up buying both consoles eventually. 

I dunno. GT5 sold over 10 million and Halo 4 sold 4 million in it's first month and is still in charts everywhere.

That's a lot for games on one platform. I say exclusives still matter

Only exclusives now are first party. Sony has a lot more first party games but MS sells more with just Halo. So its a toss up

Let's be real here....if this thing costs about 800 (which I think it will) are you gonna buy it?

S*** when I was in high school maybe. And I mean 9th or 10th grade. Maybe....But now??

I absolutely love video games, don't get me wrong, but now that I'm in college it just seems rediculous to drop that much for even a sick toy like this.

 

[bamez]

They should have named it XBox USA instead of Xbox One

A majority of the TV stuff they revealed will not make it in Canada or Europe

Very true... Microsoft catering only to the US 

 

[JCMojica24]

Will buy on release date.

Hmmmmm, we've always been told that there was going to be a bridge between the new system and the 360 in terms of playing old content. Something hardware based so did you didn't have to login and turn on both systems. I'd wait for E3 to see if they address that.

This is exactly why they spent so much time focusing on things besides games.

It's not going to cost anywhere near $800. Pretty sure the PS3 $599 debacle taught everyone a lesson on console price.

No more than $499.

This is intriguing. Might take the hit out of the $100 price tags for games that seems to be looming if the PS4 price leaks were right after their conference. If you and your boys could go in on a game and then just each pay the fee (as long as it isnt the same as buying the game new) $100 for a game isnt so bad.
