Xbox One Discussion

@Thunder: People will get the original Xbox and this new one mixed up. I'm sure it'll happen occasionally. (first xbox is sometimes referred to as xbox 1 and now there is xbox one) And the name, in my opinion, is just really stupid. Why can't they at least think of a cool name?

There's not much wrong with the name "Xbox One", I do think they could've done better, though.

Meh we would have made fun of any name they could come up with:

Xbox Next: Lets just wait for the NEXT one (hilarious I know)
Xbox 720: I mean the console is just a trick to make money (jk)
KineX: Woo more of that thing
Xbox Now: Then why don't we have it yet!?!
Xbox Evolution: So the xbox was actually a pokemon...
Xbox: Didn't we get this 12 years ago?


Any name they could have come up with would be hated on. Though I am surprised they chose something so unexpexted.

 

[EpicGamer12]

Well I guess the Atari 2600 beats these guys all out.

No sharing games with friends I'm afraid.

Wired got a look at Xbox One before today's big reveal, and they say that games will require installation to use. “On the new Xbox, all game discs are installed to the HDD to play,” Microsoft told them.

But games will be tied to an Xbox Live account, Wired reveals—or else you'd just be able to pass games around to everyone you know. And if you want to link a game to a second account, you'll have to pay a fee.

When you sell the game on Microsoft will deactivate your install, meaning the next purchaser won't have to pay the second-user fee. You won't, however, be able to share a single copy of a game with your friends.

While any name would be made fun of, if only at first until people get used to it, I di think any of those names (besides KineX) would've been better than One. I think it may suffer some of the same Wii u name confusion.
But the name isn't really important. It's the games and so far, they showed nothing that has me remotely interested.

Wait so you tell Microsoft you're selling it and they deactivate it from your account. Hmm thats pretty neat, at least they still aknowledge pre-owned games.

 

[NinjanaMin]

Microsoft literally broke my heart....
I would have possibly got it if they didnt stop backwards compatibility or used games......
But they have said they will still be releasing 360 games for many years to come.
Hell have no fury like me without new games from the Fable or Saints row franchise.....

I kinda like how Microsoft added the fee to second hand and used games, just think about it for a second.

You can borrow games from your friend and download them onto your system for a fee that is less than the cost of the game.

Also, it'll run Gamestop out of business, which is another plus.

But either way it's not like I'm going to buy one. The 360 is just terrible.

Did you even read the original post about resale? There's no second hand fee because it'll deactivate from their account. I can't believe you want gamestop out of buisness. Shame on you.

 

[Grawr]

I'm not impressed whatsoever with this new Xbox just yet. I guess I was expecting something more? We'll see, I suppose.

At the end of the day, it's the games that will sell me on the system. Not so much the "media box" stuff.

 

[Thunder]

This article states that there are no fees for used games

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE.

 

[Leonn]

Sony has already revealed their PS4 months ago. Showed off some hardware and a good bit of games.
It was MUCH better than the BS Microsoft pulled today.

Expect Sony to own E3 this year, and Nintendo being up there too with their Directs.

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED!?! lol, i guess i'll have to search that later.

Wow, you actually like Gamestop? A company that rips you off with their insanely low trade in prices and horrible customer service?

I'd much rather buy my games from another store that actually deserves my money rather than the idiots that run Gamestops.

Shame on you.

Ok hold the phone a hole. No need to look down on me because I actually go to a good GS. I really don't care if your gamestops suck but don't be rude to me about it. Mine has good service and I don't really trade in anymore so it suits me perfectly.

Sorry your life is so terrible. Please keep on topic k?

I have friends who work in Gamestop stores, but I also agree.

Gamestop rips you off at the end of the day.

I laugh at you drones that eat the **** corporate giants put on your plate.

At least Gallows realizes what Gamestop truly boils down to.

K listen up ass hole. I don't know where you crawled out of but please if you MUST satisfy your horrible ADD and talk bad to me, please PM me. I really don't think you are staying on topic.

How does it feel defending a company that doesn't value you in any way, shape, or form, and just thinks of you as a dollar sign?

BEEP! NOW SERVING CUSTOMER #43598 OF 43539850. Just some more money in Scrooge McDuck's giant ****ing money bin

Also, are you really bringing mental disorders into this? I actually know people on this board with ADD. At least think before you type.
