[quote]I'm sick of seeing all the misinformation going around the gaming subreddits. It's really frustrating to see people furiously hating the X1 without having all, if any, of the details. I'll try and break this down for you guys so here we go.
To start off, the Xbox One will allow you buy games at launch through digital download or through discs by going to a retail store.[/quote]

Read it before you start reading articles about MS harassing consumers and how they want to fuck us all and leave us up a river to dry. Also, the formatting is much better on Reddit.

So far valid points are raised, still taking it with a pinch of salt, Microsoft has been paying redditors to post good opinions on the Xbox One.
This is from SOMEONE on reddit. How is this news?
That and the fact that M$ have been paying people to give postive feedback on Xbone on reddit and other sites. This could be one of those people.
[quote]Do you have a game that you will no longer play? Your friend can still play it off of your Xbox (if they're in your circle). What if they're not? As long as they have been in your friend's list for 30 days, you can give a game away to your friend, free of charge! [B]This can only be done once per copy.[/B][/quote]
[quote]As we saw above, you will be able install your games to your hard-drive and have your entire library available to play without putting the disc in the disc tray.
This is why the 24-hour check is required. Without this, many copies of the same game could be installed into multiple X1's and it would be absolutely crumble game sales.
The drawback to this is not being able to game offline. Microsoft has said that the final decisions to this issue have not been final. I believe if they allow you to play offline with the disc in the disc tray, this would become a non-issue.
[B]24 hour online requirement is still there.[/B][/quote]
[quote]"[B]Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch[/B], but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners."
Microsoft and companies such as Gamefly are working on a system to make this work.[/quote]
All the bullshit's still there dude.
[QUOTE=timothy80;41022820]This is from SOMEONE on reddit. How is this news?[/QUOTE]
Read his sources, those are news. He just compiled them.
That EXPLAINS the shit features thoroughly, but I'm still not seeing a lot of acceptible excuses for them.
Really, 24-hour period checks to make sure the same game hasn't been installed across other machines? This multi-billion dollar company couldn't do any better than that? Furthermore, fuck the region locking and everything it stands for. All of what has been written on that page polarizes me against the xbone.

Yeah Microsoft is sending employees to Best Buy as well in attempt to make Wii U users buy a Xbone

OP, please, stop.
This is stupid.

We all know you are a fanboy.
Oh, man. Like I am going to read a reddit post about why the Xbox One is cool.
Those are some good points, but the thread title is changing the reaction you wanted. Calling people who prefer the PS4 over the Xbox One a circlejerk is not very productive.
reddit, eh
if you idiots that are rating the OP dumb would actually read the article, the xbox one isn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be. While I disagree with microsoft and their recent shenanigans which means i'm probably going to get a PS4 instead, most of the bitching and complaining about it has really gotten out of hand and it's gotten to the point where almost every recent SH thread has been about how the xbox one is x and gets showered in dumbs but the PS4 does y and it gets showered in winners. If you plebs would break your circlejerk for a second and realize this, this section would be a lot better.
[editline].[/editline]
i hate reddit as much as the next guy but the dude in the original thread has a point.
It explains the shit features of the Xbox one, doesn't really showcase anything wrong with the PS4 though.
Your point?
First fucking bullet point M8
[quote]What can we take away from this? Easy. If you bought a disc based game, you can sell and trade it to any [B]participating retailer[/B]. It means that game publishers [B]will work out deals with retailers in order for the developers and publishers[/B] to take a cut of used games sales. Microsoft will not receive any money from these transactions. If you bought a digital copy, just like any digital copy, you will not be able to do this. [/quote]
A: Publishers reserve the right to say "no you can't trade in your game, fuck you deal with it" when they shouldn't be able to at all.
B: only major retailers will be able to participate, ha ha fuck you anyone else trying to make a business reselling shit we shouldn't have any rights to anyway.
NOPE, FUCK PUTTING UP WITH THAT.

It's ironic because the majority of reddit appears absolutely against it.

Try calling everyone idiots and plebs some more and maybe they'll agree with you.

That turned out to be a rumor.

Fair point, but the past articles where MS has done something wrong (or supposedly done something wrong) have all been showered in dumbs and comments of "OMG, I'm buying a PS4 for sure now."
Or when an article about how Sony isn't doing anything new or innovative, but rather sticking to the console mold comes up, they get showered in wins and praise.
It's become a circlejerk at this point in time.
Still not enough to make me change my mind
Nothing has changed though, the reason why everybody is scrutinizing the X1 remains there. Okay a little more insight into the features to give us more information, still doesn't change the nature of these idiotic features.
Like I said, nothing has changed.

I can't even understand why people would turn into fanboys.
It's a one way love relationship, why would you endorse a company no matter how much shit it does? Unless you're an employee and get paid for it. I want my money to be well spent, doesn't matter if it's going towards Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or a Dragon Dildo maker. As long as the product is everything I expected it to be and worth my money, why should I check elsewhere for something sold the same price (or more expensive) and does less / has features I don't want?
An opinion piece on reddit is not a news source.
[QUOTE=Glorbo;41022919]That turned out to be a rumor.[/QUOTE]
and what about the microsoft employees telling people waiting in line to play Wii U games to go pre order an Xbone?

The main point being that Sony haven't done anything archaic and idiotic.
Tries to make it look better.
Highlights shitness.
[QUOTE=Glorbo;41022919]That turned out to be a rumor.[/QUOTE]
Considering the shit they've been pulling at the E3 on the nintendo stands, I think we can safely consider this rumor to be true.
At least a not so far stretched thing.

I have read the article, rated OP dumb afterwards.
This is all old news compiled into a Reddit post. I still hate the features even as he explains them. What's your point?
[QUOTE=Evilan;41022921]

[/QUOTE]
Because Sony isn't taking the route of microsoft and instead going with what works. We put in our games and we play our games.
And MS isn't doing anything innovative either, that's for certain. We get new consoles with a couple new features and we get our games to play.
One just requires you to jump through a bunch of extra hoops for a hundred dollars more.
