"Xbox One" Reveal Event

[Schlitzbrille]

"I kinda like the controller" is the most interesting thing I've got to say. All my other thoughts about the XBOne reveal are totally unremarkable in nature.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I kinda like the controller and hope that they have a wired one lined up so I can buy one of those for my PC and feel the benefits of an improved 360 controller without a £500+ media hub.

[Numbahs]

No they aren't.

Boot up your XBixxy and we'll fight about it.

Just read the Kotaku article that confirms you have to sign in at least once a day - which isn't that huge a deal I suppose but at the same time... why?

[Adam]

You have to sign in once a day or what? What if I go away from my home for three days and thus don't go on it? Can't I get back onto my profile then?

And if they are seriously going to charge people to play a game owned by their friend then there is no way I'm buying this console. That's just bullshit. Me and a friend lend each other games all the time, I just do not see the point in restricting that.

Check it.

+10 bullshit company points for using the word 'cloud'.

[Universal]

One thing console games had over PC gaming is the ease of renting, borrowing, used games and bringing a game over a friends house to play.

Now with these new consoles, it's useless.

Yup, no thanks. I can do everything these consoles can do with my computer and I don't have to pay a dime to play games online.

..What the actual fuck? That's stupid.

[Baddar]

Not particularly bothered by the name, but the console itself looks huge.

And what's this signing in once a day nonsense all about?

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Yeah I was surprised by the size of it too. Its almost a PC tower.

[Ruki]

So after all the post-press conference confusion....I think Microsoft needs to come out and plainly say "You have to be connected" or "You don't need to be connected", followed up with "We will not be blocking used games" or "We are blocking used games, suck our dicks."

There is just way too much confusion going on, and it's making me not want a XB1. Especially stuff like this:

[GoGo Yubari]

I paid no attention to the PS4 announcement. They're not doing backwards compatibility either, are they?

[Ruki]

Correct. No one is.

[Baddar]

So, if you don't sign in every day, what happens to your account? I don't get it.

[Ant]

Wait so let me get this right..

You may/may not have backwards compatibility on games

You do/do not have to be signed in always t play games/watch content

I take it there are still question marks on them?

[Your Mom]

I thought I didn't care about backward compatibility but then I remembered I've played most of the Bioware games at least 4 times and love going back to them

lesson from this is dont sell your ps360

Gonna keep'em in a box in my closet.

[Your Mom]

Yeah but you can put that money toward the new one!

[Summers]

My xbox is always connected to the net anyway so I don't see the issue.

I also don't share games. But.. the game linked to account is silly. Lovefilm and Blockbusters are going to be hit hard by that. As are Game/etc. CEX are doomed too.
