So did anyone catch the live feed for the new gen x box? I watched it last night and was pretty impressed. The operating system seems very well thought through and I like the accessibility to tv Internet ect ect. I wish they would have showed some gameplay but to see the trailers they played it looked real smooth.

Only time will tell for sure but I'm def gonna pick one up when available.

I was actually mildly annoyed with microsoft. There is a few things that kinda get me, one is this need for it to be like a pc. Just without the ability to future proof it/change the hardware. I get that some people will like that, just like the idea of one box that sits under your tv, instead of the 3 or more people have now. E.g, xbox360,dvd/blu ray player, sat box etc. but when i got my first360, and i am on my 3rd, but thats an issue for later, i got on fine with it, just game games game, like i wanted, then updates later you can now surf the web,facbook, youtube apps and all that crap. Some will like this but for me it shows how the console developers arn't so interested in getting the hardcore gamers onboard,but more get the family on it.. If i wanted that i would buy a wii.
Im starting to rant and get all over the place being alittle high, so i will keep the rest short.
Basically i dnt think i will get one for the first yr, im going back to a pc. The main reason being i want cheaper games, i dont want to by a new xbox and have the ring of death happen. Ruined 2 games and the actual box. 2nd xbox just packed up after 3 yrs use, and now having the latest xbox its starting to go.. Gets louder each time i use it. Also the extras are poor quailty. I have 6 controllers and 3 work, actually other manufactures have better quality components.
was given a kinect for xmas, and thats shit. And the new xbox will have to have this? But i dnt want it.
HOWEVER, one thing that has it going for it is the lumi room thing, cant remember its name, it projects colours an small images onto the room around the tv., of course not only do u need the attached kinect set up to look at the tv u also need a projector but it is hopefully something that will enhance the games.......
sorry for ranting. So no i wont be gettin the new xbox, or the new PS, im saving for a gaming pc. Also bye bye subscriptions to play online....

Fuck consoles boys there just money grabs. Computer gaming is the way to go for the same price as the new consoles are going to be you could make a bad ass gaming computer capable of playing games at high FPS and graphics then the consoles will be able to.
Also the console will be out-dated in about a year or so. If you build a system it'll be good for 3 years of so before you have to upgrade again.

eh I disagree computers games graphics are pretty on a stand still point right now , its almost cheaper just to buy a 600$ laptop and can be able to even play all the top games on max level, so you don't have to build one anymore plus computers are used for everything as well where as console is pretty much just console gaming so you get more for what you pay with computers imho. and actually only a few games require subscriptions most are only buy the game and that's it. but that is no different than paying for Microsoft time and dlc for more than 90% of their games now a days

Steam is cool. If I want to play HL2 at a mates, I just put my name and password in. Try that with a ps3. Also, try aiming with a (whatever you call those handset things)

ha or maybe they should make things 'marine proof'. I would also say that i did and do take very good care of my 'shit'.. To a point of exiting everything to turn it off, all the pc style things, I will admit that of my controller pile the first,slightly larger white with silver controller that i still use is probably my first one,,so thats done well,i even managed to fix one of them, it like 3£ for a t11 or whatever screwdriver, or 30-40 for a new controller, thats kinda why i say they aren't the best quailty, the wire connection look liked there were soldered by a child not machine...
and as you say paying for online is OK, but its only okay as it offer some security to it. But not great as my profile has had to be downloaded f knows how many times. And whatever wifi card is in the olde-new xbox isn't very good when there are more than 3 networks available. So a wired connection was a must for my situ

Also not meaning to be rude but a real gamer knows there are better thing on the horizon, and even now there..

Can't you do that with a PS3..?..? Really? Like you can do with xboxlive? I didnt know that..
I agree too steam is cool, i like how if you add a game to your wish list and it goes on sale they tell you, and every now and again i see they put games into my library, granted you have to dwnload um but some are okay..
saying that i quite liked how when i downloaded the old hitman for xbox the next day it was on sale for half what i paid then xbox gave me the difference back...

a $600 laptop will get you nowhere. lol, laptops have onboard gfx.. so for gaming a laptop is a joke, by comparison.

i'm guessing the new xbox/ps4 will probably retail around 600$ ?? (700+ if the "supplies" are low...)

just wait after a few months after it comes out, Fry's should have specials by then~

you can't really compare consoles with PCs --since PCs are upgrade friendly, you can switch out hardware anytime you please.. but gaming with a keyboard+mouse sucks unless its a FPS..

That is bullshit imo. Their presentation was utter rubbish. The console industry is steering further and further away from its main followers....GAMERS! Too stoned to type but watch these vids of the rundown on the new xbox one. He makes totally valid points...I dont need any of the bullshit extras they are adding..
