This week, in season 1 of "The Xbox One PR disaster"

[Guy from the 80's]

This is a serious question because I'm curious, is there any other industry that generate so much fury? Kitchen appliances industry, car industry, paper industry?

...getting just a bit petty now, guys.

Turn on your Xbox, put in the game disc, play the game. That's all you have to do. Don't even worry about ads.

[sub]There's even a preference in the system settings that lets you skip the Dashboard entirely when a disc is in the tray. :/[/sub]

"Hey guys, I know you spent a large amount of money on a console and the mandatory camera you'll never want or use when there's a cheaper alternative, and you're spending a nice chunk of money to properly use the online features, but complaining about this company that already has gotten a good deal of your money focusing on getting you to buy more things rather than focusing on ease of use is petty!"

That's you. That's what you sound like.

Why do you apply your own standards onto others?

You : GRRRRRR! Not buying the xbone!
Other people : I'm going to buy it.
You : No you cant I wont allow it GRRRR!

People can still buy it. Feel free. I think it's a stupid fucking move and so is making out consumers to be the wrong side for having issues with an actual problem. Just wanted to point that out to him and others who may think alike.

You seem to be mistaking common sense for fury. Easy to do, I know.

Actually, I was more referring to the pettiness of nitpicking and tearing apart every single little thing that Microsoft says and/or does in regards to news of the Xbox One, but cool straw-man tangent you went off on, there.

I hope you feel better now.

Oh, and I used my v1 Kinect all the time and got quite a bit of use out of it. Hopefully the v2 will be just as good if not better. I also don't mind paying for Xbox Live, because it is a high-quality service. See what I'm talking about here? Petty. All of it.

Ads are what they are. Ads. I ignore them for the most part on TV, and I ignore them for the most part on my Xbox 360. I'll ignore them on my future purchase of the Xbone, too.

[sub]Unless of course, they do in fact come with achievements/free avatar gear. I'm all over that.[/sub]
