Really don't understand why anyone at this forum would want to put an online camera and mic in their living room. I'd go with PS4 if I have to choose between the two.

The whole online issue, accounts, having so much of one's information transferred to Micro$oft and God knows who else... it really is a bit Orwellian to me... and I don't think I've ever used that term before.

seriously... the new xbox is called xbox 1?

wow

hurry up and come out GTA5 so I can play you 12 hours a day for 8 months, then finally give up the damn xbox!!!!!

and yes, is xbox still adament about needing a camera, AND to have it hooked up in order to go online?????.. in that case, whats stopping people from putting a piece of tape over the camera and pointing it into the corner... or at a gore pic or something. fuck em.

I haven't been following the, "xBone" in forever, but I believe they made some changes here and there, all of which I know little to nothing about.

I do believe however, that yes you must maintain internet check ins every so often or you won't even be able to use your, "xBone". They can lock you out of your own games. F that digital shit. I'm happy to have physical copies of my games that I don't need anyone's permission to use.

Screw microsuck.
Here is a fair breakdown of some of their policies on used/borrowed games.

Sony has always been a leader in the market since they came out because they give
customers what they want in a system without setting stupid restrictions.

I wish I could say that about Micro and Nintendo, but it's just not the way it is. In this day and age
who puts out a disc based system that cant play a dvd let alone a bluray? Nintendo does....

PS4 all the way.

Sony doesn't give a shit about it's fans and neither does Microsoft! So quit with the stupid fanboy shit. I will go with the Xbox 1 first and maybe PS4 later (will use friends first). By the by, DVD is dead technology and Blu-ray is on it's death bed.

Microsoft changed the policy on connecting via internet ever 24 hours.

Also changed the used games policy... But whats to stop them from putting the policies back on once you buy it?

In any case. By the time the new consoles come out, there's already goin to be a Computer that's 3x better than both of them.(because that's basically what they are... Computers)

And at that point, you might as well get a Computer... Fuck all that Hype

Sorry man, I've been hearing this since DivX came out. "Don't buy DVD they're dead". Wrong. DVD survived multiple failed formats (UMD, HD-DVD, MD, etc) and continues to survive well into the HD age. It is the format standard for digital media. Bar none.

BTW, I'm NOT a Sony fanboy. I could care less. But I will say that they market so much better on games than MS, and they are satisfied enough selling a physical product without requiring some type of Scientology type contract and monitoring.

No kidding about fanboy shit.

Buy your Xbox I really dont care, but the difference is in the hardware and the stupid restrictions.

Btw, the Wii has been around a long time already, so it was here when dvd's were still viable in the market,
yet unlike real machines that allowed playing blurays when they were still new on the scene Nin opted not
to include such a basic function (dvd playback) let alone newer tech (bluray playback).

I dont buy dvd's but the point still stands that the Wii could never play them, is that giving people functionality
they expect in a console?

Is it not ridiculous to even suggest someone cannot play a borrowed game, even more so leave the decision
to game vendors who want/need more sales? You know, those same vendors who without them there would not be
a console to sell?

Think Sega, they had trouble getting companies to design games for them, where are they now?

You're not talking to a fanboy, you're are talking to a techboy who has been a gamer since coleco/atari.

Just because you latch on and won't let go does not mean that DVD's are not dead. Streaming and downloads are here and not going anywhere. I can play Blu-Ray quality movies on my PC without the need for a Blu-ray player.

Yup and I can stream bluray quality movies and shows straight to my tv without the need for a pc or a bluray player.
Isn't it great when new products include the technology people actually want?

Its all relative to the tech of the time and whether it is incorporated in the new devices or not.

What on Earth are you talking about? Latch on? I can't remember the last time I used a DVD.
