What a dumbass. Far more than $500 there.

Which emphasizes my prior points.

If that was a XBOne being traded for a XBTwo it would be worth $0

You make an interesting point. lol

What is MS going to call the next exbox? The xbone again? The xbone two?

at least it's confirmed that trolling gets your rocks off.

Like you confirm continually your intelligence is 0 like your user name, and your life

But but but, the Broncos lost when I said they would beat the Ravens.

In case people missed it with purbeast0life trolling the hell out of everything. I honestly believe this is a serious feature MS should be talking more about. Assuming it works this way, they are idiots not to be putting this out there more in the media

could i have my dick back please? thanks.

Something good this way comes?

Finally something about the Xbone that might be a PRO?

This is pretty fucking awesome, but bottom line is the question of owning things you pay for with respect to digital content must be put to bed once and for all.


This is no different than loaning a disc to someone, except the disc still has a tangible monetary value.

It also remains to be seen how limited it will be. I'm sure there are trapdoors waiting there.

if you remember, ps3 had the "share games" feature as well, with up to 5 friends, but removed it a couple years into the lifespan of the console.

You're spot on of course, but it softens the blow a bit, and should also soften some of the fire that the entire internet is reigning down on MS right now.

After seeing a post where a guy sends a picture of his dick to the xbox support twitter, I think they could probably use some positive PR right about now.

It was never intended as such, and it forced you to share accounts, IIRC.

DROP THE ONLINE CHECK REQUIREMENT. This is ONLY going to harm regular consumers, and artificially limit the Xbone's market, driving millions upon millions to PS4. Hackers will do what the hell they want anyway, you think it's not gonna be cracked for unlimited offline play? Hell, the full game install with no disc takes some of the work out of it for them already!
Hackers had a very, very difficult time cracking the 360. For a long time, all they did was break the check on the optical drive. I guess this is one way of avoiding that vulnerability.

One other thing I've been curious about. It seems after research has been done asking MS if the xbox logo was the power button, xbox support responded that to turn your Xbox on, you have to do so with the command "xbox on". There is no physical power button

Then the question was asked, "If someone on Xbox Live party chat says "Xbox Off" will all of their Xboxes turn off?" Someone asked, and got an answer.



So if you turn off the voice commands, would you have to turn them on again before you can turn your xbox off? And if you don't, and you perhaps turn your console off using your controller, presumably you'll be able to as you do today on 360 and PS3. Will you be able to turn your console on again? Since the only way to turn it on is via the "Xbox on" command? Because you turned voice commands off. If you turned them off via options and there was a power surge or something, would you ever be able to turn it on again? Questions.

Or can you turn it on via the controller like you can today with PS3 and 360, and if that is true - why didn't xbox support staff say you could do this as well as use the voice command, instead of insinuating that the only way to turn it on is via the voice command?

Questions.

With x86 and TONS upon TONS of hatred throughout the gaming community (yes, this includes programmers), Xbone will be cracked pronto. It will almost certainly break online capabilities completely, but being able to SP games without the idiotic Kinect plugged in, could be win/win.

I can't read it at work, but is this the article where the guy is saying that MS stabbed him in the back? Because I saw a thread in a facebook group of military people last night, and they were tearing this guy apart. They said that they almost always have internet, and when they don't it's for a reason and the internet is the least of their concerns.

But it sounds like the Xbox One won't authenticate if you have an IP outside of one of the 21 launch countries. I understand that most service members do have internet access, but it doesn't do much good if they have an Afghanistan IP and the servers refuse to authenticate.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/124942-Xbox-One-Limited-To-21-Countries-At-Launch

Even troops with reliable internet working out of bases in South Korea, Japan, Kuwait, Bahrain, or anywhere else other than one of those countries won't be able to authenticate and thus won't be able to play any games. So it's not just an online/offline thing.

Except... they should have US IP addresses. These guys are playing at a base, their ISP is the US government. As long as bandwidth needs aren't too great, they should be GTG.

And, really, you've got to figure that Microsoft could enable whatever IPs they want at a whim. Just have the IT guy at the base send them the IPs and fix it.

In my experience we used outside contractors or companies that were private for internet. You can't plug an XBone into the NIPR net. So my IP addresses were European and I think some Asian ones. I really wish I could remember. I'm sure MS would make any allowances they could to get troops playing on bases though, they are getting enough bad press.

They may however simply say get the offline product solution they offer for people with internet issues... get a 360. Not really sure what's going on over there, seems they are stuck on full retard and can't figure out how to stop it.

Exactly, you have to pay for what is usually resold contractor internet. Internet that is NOTORIOUSLY horrible.

I couldn't agree more. It's the treating of physical discs that you buy for $60 as if they were DD, and requiring internet/full installation for single player games is ludicrously stupid.

I remember Empire Total War did this with Steam. I bought my copy of ETW form gamestop. I like to by local (gamestop hires people in my community). It was a mandatory steam install for those that did not have it... It wasn't very nice but, I think the entire industry is trying to move this way in music, movies, games... get away from the pirated disc and force people to pay. It doesn't affect me because I buy everything legally but, I understand the frustration.

At this point I am pretty sure Anonymous is going to planning something for the day the xbone launches to bring down live so that no one can play.

That's pretty much the case for any Steamworks game, which are becoming quite a bit more common. Personally, I don't mind it so much because I'm already well invested into Steam.

I agree. I remember reading these forums and seeing how angry people were over steam. I think 99.9% of people now like steam. I know that publishers / devs love steam.. except EA creating orgins so they can keep 100%

I think everyone will be angry until they realize PS can flip a switch and turn a similar system online as this becomes the industry standard. I could care less about used game sales, I buy new. I will be sad to see gamestop / bestbuy game section / small game stores close down as it hurts local communities.
