You know, some people, like myself, lost their character and never overwrote it on accident. My slot 1 is still open waiting for R* to restore him. I know lots of people lost their characters last Sunday cause R* fucked something up when they put the servers back online. I've lost a total of 35 ranks with all these…

Holy hell you're one spoiled brat aren't you?

No, Gabe saw what happened to Netscape after Microsoft bundled Internet explorer and got terrified Windows Store was going to nuke Steam. That's what he "didn't like". It'll have a silly number of downloads, and 90% of the users will be back to windows inside six months when they find out they need to use the rest of…

/PFFFRrrwrllrlrlrlrllrlr The hype ballon has officially deflated.

... You should still be disinterested since you don't actually like this kind of game.

Hoho
Hohoho.

A bunch of people actually prefer them. Easier to swap rechargeable batteries in and out than having to wait for a recharge if your media centre is not within cable distance of your seating space.

Microsoft makes decisions, gamers demand they change or they won't buy them. Microsoft listens and changes- gamers belittle Microsoft for making changes.

Nothing against Sony, I just prefer xbox live over psn. I really don't care about exclusives at all. Sony hasn't had a game that I must have in ages...since the ps2.

The WORST console launch ever? No, that goes to the Wii U. Sales wise, that is.

I'm not trying to start a flame war but I've pretty much written Nintendo off at this point. I simply KNOW that I am no longer their demographic. I had a Wii and DS and had some fun on both but neither really satisfied me as an old, core gamer. Nintendo seems more like a toy manufacturer now (not meaning that as an…

Well, if you've ever used create-a-player in just about any game, this would give you the opportunity to create yourself. I do that already in just about every sports game I buy, so being able to just scan my face instead of screwing around with horrible sliders sounds great to me.

You are basing what is essential or not on your own specific requirements. Kinect is not the only part of the system that a set of people would not need. Some people will download all their games - they don't necessarily need a bluray drive. Some people never speak during multiplayer - they don't need a headset. Some…

The Xbox One can run without a controller being on too. Should that be an option rather than included?

Technically I can control the console with Kinect, perhaps I'm only interested in playing Kinect games. Can I get Microsoft to sell me an Xbox without a controller? Maybe I'm not interested in the T.V. options, can I get them to sell me an Xbox without the HDMI-In?

I'm glad they finally stood ground on this issue…

As this guy says, it's a part of the system. Only it's not integrated in the box. Is that so hard to get?

Would you be so angry if the kinect was integrated into the box itself? I doubt you would be. As the article says, it's a part of the system just like the BR drive.

While this is easily fixed and bugs are in no way exclusive to this platform, I'd like the PC elitists to at least recognize this as something that is far less common on consoles and a valid reason for many to not want to indulge in PC gaming.

"We were practically forced to do the same due to false information being spread about our console and mob mentality towards change."

"It's all good rhetoric, but there are a number of things to keep in mind: My gut says that when it comes down to it, most gamers care less about the consistency of marketing leading up to a console release and more about the actual console itself. Furthermore, a number of the ideas that Microsoft has cut from the…
