[QUOTE=lanhacker1488;41658727]pretentious? wow go read a book older than harry potter please[/QUOTE] It's pretentious to quote Aristotle as opposed to just making a normally structured statement. It's irregular by today's standards. Nice assumption by the way, you really showed me.

This is shaping up to be a great consolewar, i love it

[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;41658349]You bought a whole console for one game?[/QUOTE] I only bought my 360 because it was on sale and came with some free games (Most of which I traded back to the store for credit)

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;41658379]I was getting a console either way but Halo was the reason I went with the 360, and it was amazing Halo 4 not so much so fuck em[/QUOTE] I understand that Halo is the flagship Xbox series but it sucking shouldn't be a reason to disregard the console as a whole...

[QUOTE=ZachPL;41654530]YES IM GOING TO SAVE 100 DOLLARS ON MY PREORDER!!1 EDIT: Although preorders are pretty much sold out everywhere so its surprising to me that they would drop the price before it comes out.[/QUOTE] They backpedaled so hard that they don't care of the preorders they already had. Extremely funny to see them completely change their product because of public reaction. It's beyond me how they even thought the plans they had for it would be anywhere near acceptable...

[QUOTE=adadadsd;41659006]I understand that Halo is the flagship Xbox series but it sucking shouldn't be a reason to disregard the console as a whole...[/QUOTE] No the console is a bloated piece of shit and I hate it, I just enjoyed halo a few years ago When you go on now its just nothing but social media and ads fucking everywhere, which I'm paying for by the way, paying for ads, you'd think that would be a free account thing but its nonexistant when you don't way Not to mention the asshole has eaten more than a few of my disks which I've had to replace I'm only disregarding the console because it sucks dong, not because halo 4 was crap

It would've been better if Sony would release all the details almost near the launch of their console. Then Microsoft would be so fucked, only after Sony's popular marketing decisions did they realize how Microsoft could get down.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;41654520]Wait, is the Xbox Juan getting better now despite all the bullshit it spewed out before?[/QUOTE] the xb1 was already pricewise very competitive with the ps4 at 500 USD. Since it gave you far more features from better voice control and a bunch of other stuff. At 400 it's a fair bit more bang for your buck.

Whats with the 5 page discussion based on a rumour from a laughable source?

[QUOTE=alien_guy;41659508]Whats with the 5 page discussion based on a rumour from a laughable source?[/QUOTE] It's a thread on MS and the Xbone. What else did you expect?

[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;41655808]The Xbox One is already cheaper than the PS4 over here, so I doubt we'd see a price drop if MS actually did go through with it.[/QUOTE] It is? Far out, the PS4 is the one I want too.

[QUOTE=TheDecryptor;41658251]Hey, remember when Sony silently installed rootkits on computers via audio CDs to restrict their ability to play music? Because apparently nobody else does.[/QUOTE] I think we all do, it's just that has absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking about or consoles at all. No company is perfect and both MS and Sony have done shadey things, but that has nothing to do with what they're doing now. If Xbox one two was a perfect console, great. If someone goes and points out xbox one was shit, then who cares because xbox one two is great?

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;41654475]What, they think we're just going to forget the crap they spewed befoe?[/QUOTE] I don't see why people keep holding it against them. They went about some of it the wrong way but they had some good ideas (sharing digital games, family plan etc) and some of their reasons for it weren't that bad - everyone would of been connected and that meant they didn't have to worry about some users missing out on online features and stuff. They realized no one wanted it and changed their plans, people shouldn't keep acting like they actually went through with it. I'm not saying Microsoft did the right thing in the first place by suggesting what they did, i didn't like most of the things, but they didn't actually happen. I see no real reason for people to continue to make it seem like they should get nothing at all because of a few ideas that they changed. A price drop would be great though, at the moment the price is the only thing i don't really like about the console.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;41655345]Saying people are shitting on MS for the sake of it and because of ~bandwagons~ is fucking naive and you should stop posting if you see yourself typing such things. A lot of people are shutting on them because they tried to play everyone. They thought their idea was how shit should be done and were refusing to accept people didn't like it. Even the company reps were assholes (who lost their jobs because of it). They're only changing their tune now because Sony actually did a good job this time. They haven't told us anything to put people off the console yet. MS brought this on themselves, just because they change the shit that was wrong doesn't mean we have to forgive and forget they tried treating us like fucking idiots.[/QUOTE] They fired the asshole company reps so... they ARE trying to be good? lmao Both companies are after sales. Neither are "good" or "evil", they're trying to make money. What (apparently) has you riled up is people pointing out that Microsoft is making changes and people are refusing acknowledge them. It's being called a bandwagon because it's less rude than just call them morons.

This doesn't change the fact that Microsoft are full of bullshit and don't care about their consumers. They were obviously fine with the shit they pulled before and are only changing to improve their image. Not saying that Sony are saints or anything but still. One of the local Gamestop stores said that 9/10 next gen console preorders where PS4s. Doesn't prove anything on a global scale but still insane how little the Xbone is being preordered

[QUOTE=kwk;41654536]They don't give a fuck about the consumer, and never gave a fuck about what you wanted. They knew they were going to get away with their original plans of trying to be the next "Steam", and even admitted to that, as well, but when the competition actually showed to [i]be[/i] competition, they turned everything around because they still want your money. I sound like a conspiracy nut, but they will try to re-introduce their original plans of DRM and always-on-Kinect in the future, under some different name.[/QUOTE] omg microscum is such an evil company........

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;41654520]Wait, is the Xbox Juan getting better now despite all the bullshit it spewed out before?[/QUOTE] It is though? People bitched a lot but they fixed a fair amount of things and became way clearer on a bunch of policies (that turned out to be good or at least on par with Sony's) after E3.

I'm glad they've gone back on a lot of the more negative aspects on the console but I'm more than likely to still forgo getting an Xbox One. Not because I'm a stubborn bitch but it just doesn't have any exclusives that interest me.

Is there a better source? That website looks like shit

I wouldn't even get one if they paid me $399.

I want to like this but with mandatory Kinnect I'm not touching it.
