Terrible at marketing does not mean arrogant and and demeaning. Fanboys are arrogant, demeaning, and you can add ignorant. So, I'll reinforce my point that you're hearing a lot from fanboys and very little from MS. Perhaps the emotions are a little misplaced?

The trick is, don't put anything on your que you don't explicitly want right now. They have to ship SOMETHING from your que, so if you're looking forward to playing AC3 and Borderlands2, don't put Halo3 and La Noire on the list at all because that's what they are going to send you ;)

On the "if you have no internet, buy a 360", There is a difference between something you disagree with and something inflammatory.

First off. If you're not enlisted. Shut the fuck up. If you are enlisted and not deployed, shut the fuck up. If you are... it doesn't matter, because you're not the type of person to complain about a fucking video game console.

Or it's lying by omission. Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Either you don't know what the uncanny valley is.... Or you have a specific issue with the character look in an X1 exclusive title?

Interesting observation because they haven't really said much at all. They defined their points in text on their sites, and haven't said anything else really. I think you are confusing the fanboy emotional responses for direct contact.

Agreed, Sony rep lied by omission on national TV, and the hivemind here congratulates them for it.

Uh huh.... And please explain to me the difference between your cell phone that has a camera, your laptop that has a camera, you tablet that has a a camera, your Playstation 3 and 4 that have the Eye camera, etc etc etc Considering most people are going to use all of those items in an Always On configuration.

Facebook + Metro == Sony's "innovative" UI

Sarah should be making me a sandwich.

All of gawker is paid by page hits. "Oh, oops, we've posted this once already?" "Oh, here is some more flame-bait about consoles" .... MONEY PLEASE!

Pretty much this.

Good call on the Roth-Steyr. I immediately figured it was a video game interpretation of the Welrod and glanced over it.

Yet, the PS4 has none of that, but the Xbox is criticized. The hivemind declares the death of the Microsoft company, that the 7 months until release PS4 has already "won", and that only an idiot would buy an X1.

Let me get this right...

Ok... !NOW! I can understand why Sony owners are so terrified of an always-on console!!! Trust issues!

Except that xbox updates don't brick systems.

Ok, so let me get this right...

Uh, you know new big release steam games are also $60 right?
