Xbox One

[Krejlooc]

Wired.com just confirmed no used games or rentals. Every game must be installed to run - once it's installed, a game id fur each disc is tied to your Xbox live account. If you out the disc in another Xbox, you will be prompted to log in to your linked Xbox live account, or purchase a license for a new install.

Lame.

So the point in buying physical copies is basically null now.. Meh.

Sony still hasn't 100% confirmed either way on the PS4, as far as I know. They gave a very vague response when asked.

Well they've quoted themselves as saying the PlayStation 4 won't block used game sales. But I guess this didn't technically block the sales of used games either.

A console for the masses. XBOX one exists to make money, not to make retrogamers happy.

c'est la vie.

It also doesn't exist to make modern gamers happy, from what I'm reading across social media.

So says the Sony fanboy.

This and the PS4 reveal were about in the same level for me.

Either one likely just have expanded content control over the previous generation that publishers can choose to utilize or not.

I'm hardly a Sony fanboy. I have about an equal number amount of games on the PS3 and 360.

If anything I'm a 32x fanboy.

Pff...

<gasp> You mean they only made it to make money?!

Yes, contrary to making it to make money ànd please gamers...

Wii U = the only worthwhile console this gen.

PC = the only worthwhile gaming device this gen.

FTFY.

It's pretty bad. I don't care that the polygon count on my 3-D models is going up. I don't need to be able to count the pubes on my CoD dude.

When were you able to stop and admire your character in the first place?

Overall, yes the graphics are an improvement. Did the games they show interest me? Not really. Did the hardware itself interest me? Not really, the system looks like a giant brick. I am not a fan of having the Kinect added to the system. That just ups the price tag on an unknown piece of hardware. That opinion can change if they really improved the kinect in a big way.

I wasn't impressed, but that doesn't mean the system will be bad. I wish it was backwards compatible, I am curious to know more about the rumor of the, "No used games," thing. If that really is the case, they dropped the ball in a really really really bad way.

My impressions overall were "meh." Does that mean I think the system sucks? Not at all. It just means it isn't for me.

What did you think of its competitors?
