I wasn't impressed. At all. Sports games. TV. Kinect. More TV. Even More TV. Oh, and some more Kinect. And hey, more sports crap. All of this = super lame to me. |

I really wish they didn't call it XBOX "One". Things are going to get really confusing when the actual original XBOX is brought up in conversation.. ugh. |

My problem with the 360 and PS3 as multimedia devices is I don’t think either of them is very good at it. There are much better and cheaper options out there. Well I don’t think the XBoxOne will be the cheapest option I could see it being one of the better options. That being said I don’t know how much I care. Even though the scene in “Back to the Future” were adult Marty is watching 2 different channels, the stock market and video conferencing with someone all on the same screen looked cool at the time; now that I am seeing the Xbox combining media with other internet type things I don’t think I want to be manipulating those things on my TV. I can’t help but think this is why I have a tables and a PC. I thing that is amongst one of the ugliest console I have ever seen. I realize this is probably the point but it doesn’t look like a video game console. It look like a big DVD play or something closer to a receiver, it looks businessy. I am calling shenanigans on the 15 excusive games in the first year right now. I knew Nintendo was lying to me when they said Pikmin 3 would be out for lunch window and this is BS too. What little they did focus on Video game I really didn't care about. Quantum Break is the one thing I might have cared about but I don't have even a guess on what this game is suppose to be. Here is hoping I get something at E3. If I understand the whole used game thing correctly Microsoft has kind of taken the Steam approach to thing. If you by a hardcopy of a Valve PC game you are basically buying a Steam code and a disc to saving you the time of download the game. Well I do like owning physical things; I also really like the convenience of a complete digital library on Steam. I COULD get onboard with this. However there are still a lot of questions. What is this fee going to be? If it is $50 for what would be $60 new, yea that’s not OK. Is the fee going to decrease over time? What is the game locked to, your account or the Xbox.What happens in 15 year, how long are they going to support this? |

I read it but I have to see it in person to believe a company would do something that self destructive. Sony shot themselves in the foot (both feet?) with some of their PS3 comments and moves but that was nothing compared to the shitstorm that would follow this. |

If it requires an Internet connection besides to update software, I'm not buying the console. This puts a finite lifespan on Xbox one games, something I refuse to support. The TV integration is cool, but I don't watch TV so... |

That was a good watch. I wasn't expecting much for next gen but I think I'll just stick with older generations and my PC for a long time. I have no interest to spend money in a Wii U or a shitty PC. |

lol... so my first comment was written in an angry rage at the lack of creativity and as I said before complete stupidity of the name "XBOX ONE", but i thought i would expand a little on my next gen thoughts. So in the past the entire point of console gaming (to me anyway) was to have a stand alone unit that had 1 task PLAY GAMES. It was convenient (ie no loading, no installing, no desktop navigation....) just pop in a game and you're off. Gradually this changed consoles became CD players, then DVD players, then BLU-ray players, web navigators, social media connectors......the list goes on. Then they started with the codes, and the updates and the patches...and now to cap it off we are going to have to install games before we can play. Getting to the point, I guess i just to don't see the purpose of the "Stand Alone" game console anymore. Aside from the odd exclusive title there is going to be absolutely no difference between my PC and an Xbox One or PS4. I love to collect and I've always loved the design aspect of new consoles but i really think I'm out this time around. I've had a PC hooked up to my TV for the better part of a decade why not just upgrade and do my gaming on that? there really isn't going to be a difference anymore. |

Looking at people's responses, i don't understand why people are angry that they are adding features. Multimedia is a great thing, i'm sure we all watch movies, and for one device to do all of that well on the TV, would be great. the ps3 and 360 were eh, and the new generation is way better at that. They should have shown more games, but i think that is more for E3. This was more like a tech announcement, not really a gaming announcement. I love the design, its minimalistic and clean. The controller looks much better (well design wise, but funtionality wise, it's not really changed much), and the console itself looks simple and clean. it looks very surface-like. The worst thing about it is the name. it's frickin horrible. All the fears were destroyed about the always online but they are still nickel and diming you. That's really annoying. The PS4 will probibly have more games i care about and has free online. If i had to get eather of the 2, i'd get the ps4, but i'm probibly not going to get either for a long time, going to stick to pc. Edited by RockmanDash12, May 21 2013, 10:48 PM.

This is a quote from a kotaku article about used games. The "fee" is not a "fee" in the way online passes were a $10 fee. It's a 100% full game purchase fee. From the article: "The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live." "They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked. "Let’s assume it’s a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said. read the full article here: http://kotaku.com/you-will-be-able-to-trade-xbox-one-games-online-micros-509140825 |

@rockman I just do not want a game machine sacrificing games potential to seemingly compete with every other device in my house. Kinnect is their gimmick and it doesn't allow me to play games on the toilet or in bed. There are better gimmicks out there. Xbox then does almost everything short of calling the cops on me for ... Gasp ... Playing games I paid for. No thanks. |

o_____________________________________O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But if that's the case then what's the point in having a disc in the first place? Is it simply because "digital only" might scare off people? |

Why is there a duplicate thread for this? There's already one in "current generation" (where it should be...) |

The point is to get rid of our children's future retro games and to stay the vitriol of low bandwidth gamers. It is called deferred digital downloads. Media is just a means of transport until we all have cable.dsl that doesn't cap. They want titles to be on demand like movies at some point and the only way to get them is through them. Admire the business tactic but it it takes two parties to make a purchase... And their dog won't hunt.

One thing's for sure, I can't wait for E3. Whether the Xbox one is gonna be awesome or a piece of shit is too early to tell. However paying full price for to play a used game is stupid! |

I'm curious to see how many of you that are bashing the system change their minds when it actually comes out lol. Anyway, I still really like the controller. I just hope that they don't try to make a million Halo games and Gears of War games. Although I would absolutely love a next-gen game of both of those series. I don't want it to turn into another Call of Duty and come out every year like a sports title. Can't wait for E3 to see more about this system and the PS4. Don't really care for the Wii U except for Dragon Quest X |
