Topic: The everything Xbox thread

As a pretty big microsoft fan

Price: A $100 difference means alot to different people.
EXclusives: Sony hasn't revealed their full hand.
Bundles: There's are any official bundles from Microsoft.
Subscriptions: Nah PlayStation Plus is still a better value since your getting free games every month,

I still like how Sony publishes the most exclusives this past gen, and all of a sudden people are assuming they'll have the least this gen.

Also lmao at the Navy/Linux tangent.

It really does suck about how they had to get rid of those PS3s, but I always figured that the whole "PS3 as a Military PC" thing was just a publicity stunt anyways and not something they were serious about. I'd actually be worried if the military seriously thought using game systems to build a super computer was a good use of the taxpayer's money...

It makes me sad to see all you people baselessly bashing the XBox One. I for one love the idea of a $500 price tag. Kinect was obviously awesome on the 360, so I can only imagine how well it will perform on One. I know, I know, some people say our privacy could be infringed with the Kinect camera (due to the 'deal' Microsoft has made with the NSA), but hey, I know my overall gaming experience would feel a whole lot safer knowing that the terrorists are getting theirs. XBox One has a bundle of other endless killer exclusives too. (too much to mention in this post)
The only negative thing is how shaky Microsoft has been with their DRM policies. I was all ready and excited to finally be rid of all my so-called 'rights' as a consumer.

Again, the better specs need to associated with possibly lower specs in other areas. It said lower latency is still an advantage Xbox One has, even with all those "advantages".
The difference is that Xbox One has more custom parts specifically designed for the console. All of it's 8 cores are factually more unique than the PS4's cores. That's an investment Microsoft made, and Sony didn't.
The bandwidth means more data is being sent through the console, but if that data is not designated for only one task, it won't make a difference for a separate function.
I've already said, the PS4 has advantages, but so does the Xbox One. They both offer features that aren't related in any way, regardless of how similar you think the consoles are.
An example of wasted processing, is the other OS feature on the PS3 when it was taken out, which is why I brought it up. Other OS needed the correct components to run off of the PS3 hardware. Anyone that has the original PS3 has parts in their console will never do anything.
The part that runs Linux will never be used, and newer PS3 consoles don't even have those parts anymore.
People still regarded the parts that were required to run Linux as part of the overall console structure.

@Sony_70
I agree with some points, but Playstation fans always forget alot ofthe arguments they have still relate to either the Xbox One or Wii U.
The "haven't revealed their full hand" is what people have been saying for months about Wii U, and the whole free games thing is really opinionated. I'd rather have what Xbox offers, and be able to keep it.
I get that the argument is that PS Plus will most likely offer newer games, but that won't matter to some that would rather buy 1-3 games, and be able to keep it on Xbox.
I was disappointed by PS Plus when I had it, and losing that same service after a year was even worse.

It was a publicity stunt, but the publicity stunt wouldn't have happened if Sony kept other OS. They were making a point that the Navy did actually waste money, but it wasn't by any fault of theirs.
Sony went back on a relevant/important feature. The Navy tried to save money by buying PS3s instead of Linux computers.
They bought PS3 systems, then they had to destroy them and buy Linux computers, anyway, so more money was wasted in the long run.

All sounds a bit madey upy to me, or at the very least over exaggerated.

Lets just say that SCAR392 doesn't talk from his mouth.

Unless you're talking about my mind or soul, then I'm afraid this comment is inappropriate and doesn't really help much.

You would know all about inappropriate posts that don't help much.

I obviously don't, because your post wasn't clear enough.

As much as I'd like to believe SCAR deserves it, I highly doubt outright insulting him will help anybody. :/

Wow. Look at what happens when you stop paying attention to a thread for a few days.

Anyways... So, Xbox One. Ya, it seems really nice, huh? LOL.

This.

It's been pointed out before that these shenanigans with said user doesn't get anywhere. Those people had also insulted him and it didn't really do anything. Even active-then @WaltzElf couldn't do anything about it.

I would cut off my arguments if they don't get anywhere to avoid any drama. Or if I were still determined, I'd at least refrain from using insults. Of course it'd be hard to do that in the last argument that just pervaded this thread. So I'd cut off the argument altogether.

So play nice next time.

Waltz was banned? NOOOO

That really sucks. Can't believe that crusader of logic and reasoning has fallen.

If you go back a little on the "NL users you never see anymore" thread you'll see the story. His most current username is @Bankai by the way.

Found it, thanks! That really sucks. I'LL GET YOU BACK BRO, HANG IN THERE

True.
Back on topic then? Drop the mandatory Kinect and the price and I will buy a Xbone in 3-4 years time.
