Agreed, that's a real humdinger!
Did not see this one coming.
I found that ironic, too.
"Itagaki" and "isn't going to work" just kinda go together in recent years.
Unique fetish you have there
"Working the laptop" aye? Ok, I'll bite.
Your roommate's mom is an online stripper via laptop webcam?
No doubt the result of the "buy a laptop and get a free pole" promo on Newegg.
To be honest, it's not a surprise that a lot of folks will still want the Xbone.
$500 isn't an impulse buy for most people, but some have to have the newest gadgets to hit the market (and brand recognition and loyalty still counts for a lot too).
Value is in the eye of the beholder, after all.
To be clear, it's well established that the early 360 models had an alarmingly high failure rate. And despite what some hypervigilant MS defenders would claim, the RRoD was hardly the result of users "mistreating" their console (if the console was that delicate, that's laughable).
The YLOD of the PS3 was far less widespread but still a problem for some (hit by it myself with my 60 gb launch fatty). The difference being that the PS3 failure rate was still w...
"Xbox can monitor your heart rate"
You know who should be clamoring for this? The MMO addicts that kick the bucket in 24-hour coffee shops after multiple day gaming sessions. Those folks need all the help they can get.
Then again, I'd hate to interfere with Darwinism.
Yup.
GDDR5 = real right now (any modern PC GPU).
DDR5 = will be sweet to have someday (... after DDR4 has come and gone, of course :0)
Last minute changes w/o adequate testing can be a REALLY bad idea - especially those that could generate extra heat (or more heat than the system can vent).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the postmortem on the launch 360 model connected the RRoD to last minute (untested) changes made to the system.
And I believe it was one of the system architects that stated the above (it was suits that tampered w/ the original design, against the design team's wish...

Nearly spewed my coffee on the keyboard. That is so BELIEVABLE - OMG tell me more!! /s
By the way, I made $4049 in 20 seconds just by responding to you. I'll sell you the secret if you're interested.

Then click WTF and No.
Never sad to see crap sites like this disappear.
Excellent game.
Loved it on PC and now digging it on the Vita.
"Xbox One DRM, Did it go as planned?"
Depends.
If M$ planned on the PR equivalent of throwing a stick of dynamite into an outhouse, then sure - couldn't have gone better.

Gamers had plenty of reasons to be ticked at MS over the Xbone, but this gripe (over a 1x internet connection) is stretching it.
@ Dark
Agreed and then some.
Dead Space 3 turned into COD w/ space suits.
Not a bad game, but a grave disappointment to DS fans.
Speaking of irony, CDPR has been one of the most outspoken devs AGAINST DRM.
So to have their very own game chained to a DRM driven machine - that surprisingly won't even be supported in their own country at launch - must be incredibly frustrating.
@ Angelic
This is pretty darn black and white. With the Xbone M$ is attempting to prevent you from truly owning anything, intentionally eroding your rights. I'd be just as ticked at any other company if they pulled the same stunt.
If you purchase the Xbone cognizant of what it represents, there's not much to say to that except...
Baaaaaaaaa
I'm glad they're dropping online passes.
But did they feel the recent and disastrous Sim City DRM debacle was worth the PR damage?
@ Foxgod
So you admit you work for M$?
That would explain a lot...
@ Joan
Wait. I thought you were inspired by Rebecca and the total was $4,501 in a few weeks. Which is it? I'm on pins and needles.
In all honesty, get lost. Please take that the wrong way.
@ Craig - Doubt anyone clicks the link to these sadly desperate postings (by those who can't even string a sentence together).
