[QUOTE=Blah360;41728465]Well, hopefully they're out of the ring, so their punches won't count as anything.[/QUOTE] The ability to go kinect-less tosses them right back in the ring for me, I really enjoy the Xbox and being able to play my games without needing to pay for Kinect is a fantastic thing
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;41728561]but at the same time, it shows that they just outright lied about elements of the console[/QUOTE] Yeah, and that's pretty dumb as well. It was obvious they were testing it out to see the community's reaction.
[QUOTE=Evilan;41728593]It's a fake image. Everyone and their mother seems to be jumping over any fake info about MS dropping the Kinect from the console.[/QUOTE] Boy, your ratings spam sure taught us all a lesson in journalistic integrity and initiative. :v:
Yes thank you microsoft for your boundless generosity where would we consumers be if we didn't have you looking out for us. ~~my hero~~
I dig it. "Backpedaling" or not, that's a huuuuge step.
Still not worth it after you factor in the online fees. The free games for Xbox live deal ends this December, Microsoft is tricking you into thinking that XBL is a comparable service to PS+
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;41728535]You know, at least they listened. They may have backpedaled, but at least they fixed all the shit we hated.[/QUOTE] That's a bad thing [sp]Apparently[/sp]
This is actually a false rumor that has already been disproved for two months now. [url]https://twitter.com/XboxP3/statuses/350268232772493312[/url]
[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;41728636]Boy, your ratings spam sure taught us all a lesson in journalistic integrity and initiative. :v:[/QUOTE] Nah, the people I rated dumb seem to believe an unsubstantiated rumor as fact before any hard evidence has been put forth. Every indication by MS seems to lean towards them keeping Kinect in at all costs, even if they lose early sales. Why would they undercut their own marketing strategy by introducing a basic version that doesn't take advantage of the R&D they put into the Kinect 2.0? Fake rumor is fake.
[QUOTE=Evilan;41728593]It's a fake image. Everyone and their mother seems to be jumping over any fake info about MS dropping the Kinect from the console.[/QUOTE] You seem to be letting this get to you since pretty much every post so far is riddled with this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/KYq4SKU.png[/img] There's no need to be upset :v:
[QUOTE=Waffle cones.;41728656]Removing something that shouldn't have been implemented in the first place is not a huge step.[/QUOTE] Completely and out-right lying to every single one of your customers that you [b]NEED[/b] the kinect, and that always-online DRM is absolutely needed, along with other features, and that there is no way in hell that these features will ever be removed, and then taking pretty much everything back because a competitor absolutely destroyed them, would seem like a pretty big step to me.
A bloo bloo bloo I hate microsoft too so therefore any good news about their products I will spin to be bad news Microsoft is making changes for the better? Why they're just backpedalling If I can't find anything in the end to complain about I'll just say that ORIGINALLY they tried to fuck us!
2013: the year MS fucked up real bad but then fixed it [QUOTE=redBadger;41728431]Microsoft certainly has been throwing some great punches at Sony after Sony threw Microsoft out of the ring at E3.[/QUOTE] feels a bit more like they're lying on the floor clutching their guts and frantically pleading for mercy honestly
Hey guys! Let's convince Microsoft to make XBOX Live gold membership free. Or at least make it cost only US$2 per month or US$40 per year for gold membership. Make them so desperate that they would willing to drop the price on gold membership or even make it free
[QUOTE=meppers;41728659]Still not worth it after you factor in the online fees. The free games for Xbox live deal ends this December, Microsoft is tricking you into thinking that XBL is a comparable service to PS+[/QUOTE] It ends in august of next year.
Do it, and I might consider getting one in 10 years, when its $50 [editline]5th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Wii60;41728666]This is actually a false rumor that has already been disproved for two months now. [url]https://twitter.com/XboxP3/statuses/350268232772493312[/url][/QUOTE] Problem about that is, well, I swear the public faces don't say/know shit about what is going to happen.
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;41728794] Problem about that is, well, I swear the public faces don't say/know shit about what is going to happen.[/QUOTE] The public faces of the Xbox division (the key is Xbox, not Microsoft as a whole) know what they are talking about. Xbox Support doesn't know shit as has been evidenced multiple times nor does the rest of MS.
[QUOTE=ZachPL;41728771]It ends in august of next year.[/QUOTE] Neat, that's not so bad then. But still, unlike Sony this deal has an advertised end date
