The Xbone

I don't doubt that. I do doubt the cloud, though. There has been and continues to be massive resistance to cloud computing; the only reason it's moving forward at all is because all of the companies invested in it have agreed to force-feed it to us. Personally, I don't want a public cloud. I want to be able to have a mainframe PC at my home that I stream from, but I don't want some other fruit-fucker's shitty server to hold my programs and data hostage with a faggot subscription model. Fuck that.

Yes, I feel very strongly about this.

Literally nobody here wants to buy this console, right?

I'm not. Angry Joe pretty much sums it up:

Not to mention PS4 has the greater muscle in hardware and the free multiplayer. Sure people argue that hardware doesn't matter because of how well the devs can optimize, but come 2nd or 3rd wave of games, and the hardware will start to make a difference, especially for PS4 exclusives.

Some of Microsoft's business decisions concerning Xbone seem pretty outrageous don't they? I find it funny how most people are forgetting the 360's initial release, and how 70% of them were prone to RROD lol. Still, not falling into the trap of giving Microsoft my money anymore, especially not for XBL, and especially especially not for SPURTS SPURTS SPURTS.

That was the best video I have watched in a long time.

No, that was retarded. So, it's this time again where everyone is going to rant and buy the console in the end anyway?

**RedBaron** · May 25th, 2013 04:29 AM

Lol no rants from me. I'll likely not even pick up either consoles until their 2nd or 3rd iterations. By then we'll know who the clear winner is. Well actually, even if the Xbone exceeds expectations, I'm not planning on buying any console at all because of XBL. At that point I'll just stick with building a new computer.

No. I technically didn't even buy the 360. If I get either console, it will probably be the PS4 and only when it drops to $200 in price...which will be around 6 years from now if this generation was any indication. Otherwise, PC all the way for me.

This. I've never owned a gaming console outside of my SNES oh so many years ago. Well, there's the Wii sitting on my TV stand, but that shit's a paper weight. I used the controller more for bluetooth gaming on the PC lol, but I have a bluetooth dongle and PS3 controller now, so I'm ballin'.

In 3-4 years time when the price of the PS4 drops considerably, I'll contemplate getting that. Too many restrictions on Xbone.

I'm going to. Why? Because none of this "shit" is a big deal to me.

Internet connection? That's nice, most people here have a near constant internet connection.
Loaning/Borrowing games? We still have yet to hear news of that, but I don't often loan my games if at all.
Other shit? I've seen nothing else that would majorly deter me, asides from the price point which we've yet to see.

I'm still going to wait though since mainly I just want Halo 5 and a few other things, like Witcher 3 which they haven't confirmed yet. I'm pretty much going console for my gaming in college, and saving lighter games (think TF2, SC2) for my laptop.
