The Xbone

Funny you compared it to BC1 because that is exactly what I did over on Kotaku...

Fucking assholes. There can be only one Xbox 1! And that's the one which came out in 2001. Fuck you and your marketing team.

Windows 3.1 -> 95 -> 3.51 -> 4.0 -> 98 > 2000 -> XP -> 2003 -> vista -> 2008 -> 7

Xbox -> Xbox 360 -> Xbox 8 one

Microsoft once again showing the world that they don't know how to count.

It seems that the PS4 has better specs than this.

Well, the actual specs have been pretty hushed so far.

[arbiter901]

Seen various claiming it has 8GB of DDR3 with 3 gigs dedicated to the OS.

It doesn't look like I'll be getting this thing. There were a couple of things I was looking for in the next console.

• BluRay - I never bought a dedicated DVD player. I used the PS2 to watch my DVDs. Back then, dedicated DVD players ranged from 100 to 200 USD. The PS2 controller was a superior remote control as well. When I got my xbox to increase our Halo LAN player pool size, I used it for DVDs to keep from switching inputs all the time. The 360 replaced it when I got that since it upres'd better. I didn't get a PS3, and my OEM BR drive in my PC requires me to purchase a license in the form of any third party BR player software to have the codecs for me to watch the one bluray movie I got (Kill Bill I/II for 5 bucks). Fuck that. I'm glad I didn't dump money into a more expensive title first. The next console I buy will need to fill in where my DVD consoles did for BR.

Your other points are valid, but I'm not entirely certain if you know or not: Xbox One has a blu-ray player.

After reading some more things in this thread, I think I will be buying a PS4 rather than this piece of crap. I don't even buy exclusive games anymore, so why would I go with something that will have worse graphics and be based around my "entertainment experience" that I could just use my PC for in the first place?

Can they just come out with a SNES that uses dual GTX Titans and call it good?

if that's real (I've yet to see anything official on the memory) then the xbone is going to fucking suck. APUs thrive on memory bandwidth. The CPU would suffer a bit should it be GDDR5 from the increased timings, but the GPU wouldn't be able to do much with such a small bus.

There's no such thing as GDDR5 RAM, aside from graphics cards, so I don't know what that site is smoking.
