I agree with you. Thats probably what im gonna do just seeing if thats what you meant. So like all these games will be available for download when the xbox comes out? ( obviously only talking about games that will be released on disc as well)


They said all their games will be available for same-day digital download, so I am assuming that will work with the launch titles as well.

I will pay the s&h and then 50-75 on top of that.

The new ones are going for like $225 at gamestop and I am just not paying that for a system I will have for 5 mos

Have y'all really been that impressed by what MS has unveiled for the XBONE ... it has seemed very lackluster to me.

In the end I'll probably still get a XBONE but I think this will be the first Playstation I have ever purchased. Also MS stance on used games, always connected, sharing, etc. all these issues between them and PS4 seem to be polar opposites. Yes I know digital media & DRM is the future but still PS has came out and made a stand for the gamer.

IS INTERACTIVE TV REALLY THAT IMPORTANT?


Anyway I ask truly what is a (besides Titanfall) reason I should decide to purchase a XBONE??

I never really bought used games and im always connected to the internet anyway so im not worried about that. I think the tv stuff is cool feature not a selling point.


but imo Sony did nothing for me.

I think Xbox had the best exclusive titles and I just consider it personal preference on the multplatform games.

I love Xbox Live and all my friends are on it and will be getting the XB1.

The amount of hours me and my friends will put into Destiny will probably be ridiculous.

Depends on the person. The things people are bitching about with Xbox One literally have no effect on how I play games. I can see where it bothers some people, but I think it really just being blown out of proportion.

Xbox has gone from 90,000 servers to 300,000 to help with gameplay.

I consider all the extra dashboard and entertainment stuff just an added bonus that sets it apart from the PS4.

I will eventually get a PS4, but I have to go with the Xbox 1 first.

Honestly I'm with you save one thing ... share games, it's kinda bullshite that I can't do that as easy as this. Though this bitching is I think a gag reflex from what I witnessed. What I am more upset about is the attitude that MS has taken with us the consumers & their fans, shut you will take what we give you and like, no explanation ... nothing, this just makes me sad.

I was quite impressed with some of the games they were getting but think most that I really liked were cross platform so this is a non-issue.


I don't know I just feel that MS needs to come out and through us a bone here ... I mean I was xbox original, 360, 360 Elite, & Slim ... so I have supported a 1000000% but I just somewhat feel cheated as of right now. I hope from now until launch more info comes out to make me feel better about it though.

I still think there is a possibility I get a PS4 as well because this is more than likely my last console generation purchase, gotta grow up some time

I agree.

People keep saying that PS4 caters to the gamer. That's great maybe they do. But Xbox one caters to me. I'm not a hardcore gamer anymore. I want the full entertainment experience. Xbox offered exactly what I wanted. Some badass games with a great entertainment experience

amazon uses Dec 31 as a placeholder until they get an exact date.

I love that on the XBox I will be able to switch between gaming, TV, Web Surfing, etc... quickly with a simple voice command.

Aside from gaming, that is the kind of integration that I have been hoping for.
+1. Maybe it's weird, but I actually care about the other things outside of playing games.

RTR,

I think you are right man. I think I might just be going through a knee-jerk reaction and overthinking these things. I'm with you in what most of the stuff to complain about really doesn't affect me.

Also XBL is my home and all of my IRL friends are XBOX not PS so that's a BIG SELLING POINT TO ME. I'll will be getting a XBONE for sure I guess the question is will I be getting a PS4 as well. I think yes just maybe not from the get go. (Though the price on it makes it affordable)


ETA: For the record I think the TV integration and all other added entertainment are AWESOME features to have ... in my previous statements I was more or less playing the Devil's Advocate role about these things.
