Even with the positives that Microsoft does have going for it, the negatives are absolute deal breakers for many people. I don't hate the Xbone, I'm wishy-washy about it, and I think some people are a wee bit paranoid about the Kinect spying thing, though with reason with all the privacy...

Perhaps. Eventually. After a price drop or with a good bundle deal. I'm cautiously optimistic that there's a chance Microsoft actually has something planned. I dunno, I have very mixed feelings about what it can do, but I also have no intention of getting a PS4, either, since I detest their...

Oh, I'm not saying I agree with what they're doing at all, and I'm certainly going to hold off on buying it at the very least. I'm just one of the few people willing to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here. If it's complete shit, it's complete shit, and I won't be surprised, but I think...

Though this comes off as super arrogant, I get what he's trying to say. The 360 is a great console, and they're releasing a new one, so they're obviously still intending to support it for some time. Microsoft is really trying to get people to get behind this cloud idea, and though I'm still...

It disturbs me that Jenivere has been turned from Basso's wife/a chambermaid into a pet bird. Everything else is pretty cool, though. It's certainly more Deadly Shadows than Dark Project or Metal Age, but it looks good. I'm really interested to see how this game turns out, as a freaking...

It honestly sounds more like what the nurses say to me when I gripe about getting my blood drawn. Also, as someone who really can get sensitive about men being misogynist bastards and rape jokes, I don't see a problem. Not everything needs to be taken out of context and construed into a rape...

Even though some people are misinformed about just how restrictive the Xbone is, I kinda want people to keep bitching. Makes it more possible that the shitty DRM stuff will go away, and I want it to. It's the single most important thing keeping me from actively supporting it, instead of just...

Microsoft is going to have to show us something that proves the $100 more is really worth it, and not just their fancy shmancy cloud computing mumbo jumbo. Actual honest to god proof that we actually need this thing and that it's worth $500. If I wasn't so damn invested in Halo, I wouldn't even...

I don't have enough of an invested interest in any exclusives to get one. There is a chance they could win me over, but I doubt it. I spent enough money on my PC and I do have an invested interest in multiple exclusive Xbox series, and my wallet can't afford all 3. Sacrifices have to be made.

Very true. Almost everything Sony did was a giant fuck you to Microsoft to show that they are much better. Microsoft may not be creamed, but they have a lot of work to do if they want to tie. The entire Xbox team must be rolling around on the floor in pain right now.

Ouch. That's going to be a blow to Microsoft. One huge, terrible, painful blow. Doesn't change the fact that I don't want any of the exclusives and won't be buying it, but, still. Ouch. Super ouch.

Sony could have easily won me over with the PS4 with how outraged I was in the very beginning about the Xbox One. They failed to, and I think they will fail to with many more gamers. If the price is $50-$100 less, Microsoft will have a hard time keeping up, and if it's more than $100, Sony just...

I'm not excited enough to pay full price. I'll either get a good deal on a bundle or I'm going to wait until there's a price drop. $499 is too steep for something I'm not fawning over, especially if I can't use my current 360 to pay for it (like I did my original Xbox to my 360). I am kind of...

It's black, for the most part, with some silver trim, but the front panel glows a really pretty blue and the venting looks pretty cool. That clear side is an awesome idea, though. I'll have to keep that in mind when I build another one once the hardware in this one gets too out of date. Not that...

Internet pacts are pathetically useless. Also, it doesn't block used games, or fully lock games into the system. A lot of it is limited like Steam is, though I wish the Xbone had a solid offline mode like Steam does. The Xbone is a bit of a disappointment, I'm not too excited about it like I was...
