Not rrally. It's the standard trick for slides. There's no legitimate coding reason for it to either be a slide, or change ads with every slide. Companies do it all the time.

This kid sums up my position on the Xbox One perfectly.

A British accent is not a substitution for intelligence.

Seems both companies wish to ditch the razorblade model entirely. For that amount one can assemble a personal computer effectively more powerful than either.

Really, seemed like a regurgitation of what everyone else has been saying. I only watched about a minute and a half or so though. Also, statements like "Sony, in it's conference, gave the Vita reason to exist" are a turnoff. The Vita did/does have a reason to exist in it's games (and upcoming games). Seems there has been a rash of these type of videos and many of them the qualifier for entry is "Do you have a British accent."

Regurgitation? A little bit, yes, but with a unique flair. I actually found it most polished toward the end. But *shrug* not that big of a deal if you don't watch it.

Reminds me of Idiocracy. Luke Wilson speaking properly made them all think he was talking down to them, and it pissed them off. :lol:

Me, I look at what is being said rather than who says it or where they're from. If it's regurgitation then my apologies... I'm new here and as a matter of fact only watched the Xbox One reveal yesterday, so it's fresh to me.

In any case, there is no way I'll be putting an internet connected camera in my house. That alone is a deal breaker.

If however this video was a turn off because you're a fan, then here's a guy that is all for the Xbox One. Feel free to reflect on his take on it.

Yeah. Regardless of whether what the kid said was right or not, his accent sounded extremely fake. Like he was trying to sound like Jim Sterling. :lol:
