You really want to plug in the Kinect. I understand your hardcore gamer street cred will be taken down a few notches but the system works about a million times better with voice commands, and it's very clear that Xbone's UI was designed with the assumption that everyone would own (and plug in) their Kinect. Also, it's…

Idk. When I get boxed burgers they usually look appetizing enough. I've had a few Big Macs that I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen eating. I think it's just the old wrappers squished the sandwiches in an unappetizing way

The 'serious family portrait' is a thing. It's supposed to be classy.

I don't think there's any chance of the debt ever getting repaid. As far as I understand it's a bit of an unwritten rule that the U.S. doesn't intend to pay back China at any time plus China calling in the debt or us repaying it all at once would crumble the world economy.

every fucking post with you people

what an important clarification for you to make, congrats

Are you fucking retarded? And, answer honestly, did you watch the video? It's really not that complex. There is a learning curve, but that's to be expected with an OS that does more than the bare bones shitshow of an OS that is the PS4 experience.

Here's mine! Did you know you can zoom out on your tiles and organize and name them into groups? It's very helpful. I actually really like Windows 8. Even though I use a non-touch laptop it's still faster to go to apps for weather, mail, news, etc. than it would be to go to the sites and enter in my preferences. Plus…

Music on X1 is so fucking weird. I was pleasantly surprised that Xbox Music lets you stream any song for free, and make your own playlists (with radio ads of course, unless you pay extra), but there doesn't seem to be any way to unsnap the music app and have it play in the background. It's always there taking up…

Forcing Metro onto desktop users was a strategic move to get more users in their app store and create a viable tablet ecosystem. If MS had released the Surface as its own device or licensed Metro UI as an OS by itself no one would have used those devices. That's why you don't have a built in option to restore the…

Sorry about your friends' lack of intelligence. Windows 8 is a great OS.

Humorously, your fanboy bias is showing.

Well they're gonna be expecting a console in return for the one they send you, they're not just gonna let you keep both

If you call MS they let you keep the console until the new one arrives... Idk why you would go through Amazon when they're having consistent problems with their packing places not shipping these consoles properly protected. Like 90% of the failures on both consoles are from Amazon.

pardon you but don't talk shit about Zoo Tycoon

lol @ you not realizing MS is doing this starting next year. Keep on your news honey bunches

To be fair, the "Xbox, bing" command acts like Siri/Google Now and lets you ask for things in colloquial speech. These commands are just the ones it knows natively.

Please stop before you hurt yourself.

Actually just the video card. The ram issue is that the video card usses DDR3 instead of DDR5 video RAM, but that's not the tradition system memory, that's dedicated to the video card. Both have 8 gigs of normal ram. But from what I understand MS needed to do DDR3 in order to utilize ESRAM which helps a lot with the…

Costco could make up for this by giving out free Bibles. They could subsidize the cost by having it double as a coupon book. Read a few chapters of the good book, then rip out the page for 15% off Kirkland Signature products.
