And in other news today, a lead xbox design technician spoke at a tech conference today in California where he also outlined the technical aspects of the xbox one cooling system. Details as stated by the technician:
"We put big fan, system cool now."
When asked to compare the technical differences between the xbox one and the 360 he replied:
"Big fan, no Red Light of Death".
The article was satire.
Great explanation.
@irishguy
There is no difference. The steam service has a certain amount of games available and they give you big discounts on some of them so you get to choose what you want to buy from the ones that are discounted. How is that any different than what ps+ does? Have you ever even seen ps+? I have to ask because if you have you wouldn't have made that statement.
I have both and I must say, even though I'm "somewhat" inclined to agree with jumpman I think that most people seriously downplay the value of PS+.
Like I_am_Batman said below, ps+ isn't just about the free games, You get a lot of discounts there also, really good ones. Right now the 14 for 14 deal that they have going is amazing. I advise anyone with ps+ to head over there right now and check it out.
I know the free games aren't techni...

Who exactly is going to spend $1000 or $2800 or $6000 on a steam machine? When the ps3 released at $600 it didn't do half of the sales it could have done because of the price.
The xbox is $100 more than the ps4 and we all know how that is working out for it. who will buy these machines? Who is valve targeting?
The reason consoles are so popular is because of their simplicity. Plug in, buy a game, stick it in and play. Now we are ...
@darthv72
Either you are a die hard microsoft loyalist or you have been living in an alternate reality. Nothing you said there about the xbox one reveal is accurate.
"Changes came on the heels of a proposed sense of listening",
Changes came after the xbox went on sale and no one was buying it.
" The misfortune would only apply if their arrogance were something they made no attempt to rectify".
If you spent billions ...
I won't comment on this article because if you could have gotten so many downvotes for having the most sensible, logical and unbiased post, it shows the blind fanaticism of the general readers in this lobby.
Granted I don't necessarily agree with every single thing you wrote but most of it made complete sense and is spot on.
Apparently the trend is to disagree with people if they don't support your preferred system, even if they are making sens...
You have a point but it's only 40% of the reason.
The reason there are console wars and not movie art and literature wars is because consoles are all about competition.
Gaming on the whole is about competing. That's why when people use the term 'console wars' it's not totally accurate because even though the pc is not a console you won't be able to find a single console war debate where there aren't pc enthusiasts getting involved...
Obviously you're one of those people that believes that the cranky kong reveal was actually bigger than the ps now and kinect 2.0 reveals.
I admit defeat sir. lol
5 gaming predictions for 2014:
1: Both the ps4 and xbox one are going to get great games but fans of both systems will still argue whihch games are better.
2: Someone, somewhere, someday, will look at their wiiu and suddenly realize "I need to get a nextgen system".
3: Ps4 will end the year outselling the xbox one but some people will continue to argue "it's $100 cheaper and was released in more countries first that's...
@xYakuzaz
You've played it twice and you're playing it a third time on survivor Plus and yet you say that the game is "Overated" and you once stated that "the actual gameplay aspect is complete mediocrity".
Yeah, seems legit.
@xheavyx
Your statement is incomplete.Let me finish it for you:
This website's logic.
" GAME shouldn't win GOTY awards because it can't compare to some of the similar themed MOVIES or BOOKS out there even though I also stated in my article that The Last Of Us is the kind of blockbuster fun that deserved every dollar that it made.Oh and btw I also rated it 5/5 as a game, But I believe it should have been a better movie or book to win game of...
What are you doing arguing steam on a ps+ article? Did the article even mention steam? Did anyone ask you about steam and your opinion of it? why are you trolling? Are there not enough pc articles for you to post on?
@H0RSE
And yet we've seen absolutely SH!TALL of this "infrastructure" except for some "drivatars" in forza while sony is getting ready to usher in a new era in gaming to the world.
One has been "first to the party, they have dedicated much more time/money into the R&D aspect of cloud technology, and have a much larger infrastructure in place" and has shown absolutely NOTHING significant with it and the other which doesn&#...
@SonofGod
He was referring to the 300,000 servers that microsoft announced at the xbox one reveal in 2013. We are not talking about the thousands of servers they have always had running their various business services.
Those 300,000 servers for cloud gaming were only mentioned last year. Sony had made an offer to purchase gaikai since june 2012. This shows that sony had the cloud gaming idea long before any of us realized.
Also in case you di...
@SonofGod
Honestly, I actually began writing a detailed response to your comment but then it hit me. If after reading what he wrote and then reading what I wrote, you can still not understand a bloody thing that we were referring to and come up with that irrelevant non applicable response to something that has nothing to do with the topic in the first place, then you are beyond reasoning and really not worth the effort.
One thing though, maybe you're righ...
@georgeenoob
I see common sense is not your strong point.
@neoMAXMLC
Exactly, that little fact escapes a lot of people who are trying to downplay the ps4 demand.
You can only watch netflix if you pay that eight bucks a month. What's the difference? I mentioned this in another post. Somehow people think netflix is great but ps+ isn't.
