You really don't have to make up anything for this console to sound awful. It is right there in official presentations, interviews, and documents.

Keyboard and mouse are cheap and since more people own PCs than consoles you can pretty much count of having one around. Also, you can install an OS, say Windows 7, from a USB drive. If you really need an optical drive you can get a DVD drive for less than $30 shipped from newegg, link below. You have to buy a network…

Can't see anything other than LeBron getting movie shot now. Can't be unseen.

Totally on the same page. I made a similar post. I salute your incredible common sense and excellent tastes of opinion.

Maybe it was the force of his receding hairline. Sorry bald bros.

I want to like LeBron so much. I need to respect him if he is the game's best and the game is to be respected. I grew up on Magic, Bird, and remember Jordan putting up 63 in a playoff game when I was 8. He earned every damn point. He never flopped, and say what you want about the calls he got, he never tried to sell…

I game both ways (heh) and let me tell you that this about expectations. I have never expected to do anything but license the software I buy for PC. On a console, I buy a discs or cartridges which I could play, sell, lend, borrow from friends, rent, and what have you. This is about expectations. The console…

If your board costs as much as a console, you're doing it wrong.

This is a direct result of fanboyism and console manufacturer apologists. The industry has us fighting one another based on what console we prefer, PCMR included, and not fighting together for consumer rights. It has worked beautifully so far.

Cheer up!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Linux then.

Yep. Price really isn't the issue for people who are down on PC gaming. The prices are comparable.

I like my privacy and don't like the idea of losing it in any way. I don't care what company is asking to invade people's privacy, I won't stand for it. Your data is important, and you should own it, right down to what you watch and how often. If it wasn't worth anything, why would companies want it? You are an…

Well, consoles don't come with anything either but a console and a controller. If we are lucky we get the cables we need to use HD (I'm looking at you 360 I bought at launch). You're really quibbling here. As for an optical drive, digital downloads make this gravy. So you can get an OS and network card for less than…

I will leave this here. Console supporters, I get where you are coming from. PC gaming is comparable in price to console gaming. As for the comment about having to upgrade your PC to keep playing, well that is a good thing. You can upgrade, you have a choice. You aren't stuck with what you get day one, just hoping…

Please refer to sections 9 and 12 of the current Kinect TOS and see exactly what rights you give away when you agree to use Kinect in your home. Here is an interesting link for your enjoyment and enlightenment.

There is the choice of buying physical media though. VR console aside, you have a choice. I think this is what burns people the most; it is certainly why I am upset. I feel like all choice is being taken from me, except for my choice to purchase one of these consoles or choose to go another route for entertainment.…

You are more generous than I am with you patience and goodwill. I really don't feel that MS has done gamers right either. Not dissing your opinion, but let me tell you why. I paid a premium to get a 360 on launch day. My choice. I was sold a console that was known to have a faulty design, and it went RROD. Four times.…

The naysayers may be conspiracy crazies, but flyonthewall sounds a bit naive when he puts this much faith in a company like MS to have his best interests at heart.

I agree. Since when is giving feedback and giving a damn "trolling"? Only when you slam someone's console of choice.
