@BigBoss1964 Well it's not an extra, it's part of the system, if it upsets you so, either come to terms with it, don't buy one or learn to deep throat. It's remarkable easy :D
Cool, if it's the 5th November then it's on my birthday, happy birthday to me.
@gaffyh however it'd only be the 12th to get 11/12/13 in the us.
The rest of the world would be the 11th Dec, 11/12/13.
I've never understood US bullshit date system. It's even worse on film averts
"RED2 coming August two" what the fuck is that all about!!
@mewhy32 Jesus H Christ, you have to Be kidding with the Kinect and the NSA story still. This is getting old.
If you buy the PSEye with the PS4 you get the same issue in America. If you have an iPhone, iPad, Surface, Linux / Windows / OSX machine with a camera, YOU GET THE SAME PROBLEM.
There is a word for people opposed to connectivity...HERMIT!
Get a grip and get laid for christ's sake!
I hate to pop any nay sayers to this article but prices have never been fair.
I live in the UK so when you look at the following it paints a totally different picture;
XBOX One = $499 or £429 (Direct conversion = £324)
PS4 $399 or £399 (Direct conversion - £259)
In reverse;
XBOX One £429 = $659
PS4 £399 = $613
So to be honest both Sony and Microsoft are setting p...
@MariaHelFutura I'm sure the Praystation 4 is going to be lovely and I'm sure that the Xbox One is going to be just as lovely for those that buy it.
Can I ask, what is it that compels you to use the "My dad is better than your dad" argument?
I decided to by an Xbox One because I think it is cool and I recon the features are bitchin!.
Nothing more, nothing less.
This argument seems to be getting old.
MS has DRM or Kinect could spy on you or it looks like a VCR instead f a section of a aeroplane wing or it's called the Xbox ONE or it hates indies dev or there is a woman in charge.
None of this rubbish is going to matter. My point can be illustrated with this reference made about the worlds view regarding the gay community by the comedian Eddie Izzard.
"In the social order 80% of the populus d...

"Well, the Nazis did think they were the best, and that the rest of the world should be like them. Maybe that's what MHF meant by "mind state of a Nazi"?"
Hmmm, That comment is more akin to the Japanese during the invasion of China, the British during the colonial wars and lets not forget the Americans right here right now.
Likening Microsoft's policies to that of war lords and mass genocide is dis...
@aiBreeze LOL I just had visions of you calling Sony
Saying "Dave?, What are your doing Dave? hows the kids, oh and don't worry about that embarrassing trip to the doctors, after all herpes is very common. Do what can Sony do for you today?"
Come on Sony, like MS are corporations and they have a special kind of soulless existence, far worse than any second-hand car salesmen. If they could get away with social profiling, animal testing and mass...
Wow, after that rant, do you need a tissue and some quiet time?
How about this. PS4 has lots of fun toys and games and even though it's Japanese it be bought by millions worldwide.
Also Xbox One has lot of fun toys and games and will be bought by millions worldwide.
See... Short and sweet.
@Hatsune-Miku This is an opinion piece, it's not spouting truths it's one authors opinion.
I understand that you have a staunch view of console gaming and see the PS4 as the only choice for enlightened gamers, however I must point out that just like you and the author of this piece, 'opinions are like arse holes... everybody has one'.
My opinion on this topic is simple. Both consoles have strengths and weaknesses.
If you ask t...
Christ don't you just hate loaded arguments. % reasons for this and 10 reasons for that.
I'll be getting an XBOX One at launch because it chokes my chubby. I think the features are just what I need, the games for me are brilliant, most games coming out are multi-platform so I'm not missing out on much.
I don't think I need some pimple ridden teenage gamer telling what I should or shouldn't do or that because I've picked ms over sony th...
@Electric-flamingo LOL
Bit of a sweeping statement but it did make me laugh!
Though gay sex is a bit of a leap for most gamers no matter how good it is :p
@Electric-flamingo are you suggesting a link between Brand loyalty and gay sex?
Queue Abba Music :p
@The_Infected
1. Excellent online gaming with xbox live
2. New experience with guaranteed 100% use of Kinect 2
3. Options of voice controlling TV (I want it)
4. Cloud computing for online games
5. Play as you download games
6. The idea that the kinect can sense my emotions and adapt the game play in the future
7. Snapping apps against a movie or game, brilliant
There are 7 pro's for me.
@Smkt I can't believe this debate has turned into a position for Microsoft to defend itself.
This is a position for MS, Sony, Nintendo, Apple, Samsung and a slew of other manufacturers to respond too.
It's funny that the public roasting doing the rounds on the internet requires only one candidate for vilification, in this case Microsoft.
The fact is we live in a connected world and I'm sure agencies from NSA, MI5, Mossad, FSB et...
Hmm, this is very interesting. It appears that both Microsoft and Sony need to work with developer studios to make sure that certain procedures are followed in order ensure games are structured in a way so that this feature can be downloaded and played simultaneously.
It's all down to education and support from the platform manufacturers.
@Conzul Now now, keep any references to the magic baby, his dad and the ghost from scooby doo out of public forums.
They are neither welcome or tolerated.
As to Mr Cerny, a Zeitgeist he maybe in his field and I agree that his approach to the design and architecture has been a radical departure to previous iterations of the playstation, however the only issue i have is saying only the ps4 has been designed with gamers at the forefront.
I'd...
@ Red-Devilz Don't get me started on apple software. I agree Siri was shite on iPhone but the Galaxy S4 Voice was fine.
For me I can't wear headphones, the ear buds hurt and the full headphones make my ears sweaty, so I'd prefer voice through the kinect.
But that said it's not just voice control that I'm loving, its games reacting to you and the subtle use of motion as others have mentioned. If a game can adapt to my stress or my boredom, ...
@Wedge19 Hmmm, read ghe article for this but it doesn't say it's not coming to XBOX One, then I read this article below and it says it is.

Seems devs are not being clear

"Also, most devices like smart phones and tablets are sleek and powerful not massively bulky. We have a lot smaller properties in the UK due to our limited land space.
The price and the size are the 2 biggest obstacles to people wanting this in their living rooms not to mention the much smaller kids bedroom. "
What a load of bollocks!! Smaller houses? Yes, I agree, but to say it's too expensive and it won't fi...
