You can't say one of the unreleased consoles is better over the other for just GAMES. One of the two may have terrible problems, but that doesn't mean its performance in actual GAMING will be worse. We can't tell which one has better graphics yet. It will probably be the PS4, considering M$ has spent so much time on sh!t NO ONE wants (kinect, cable integration, etc.), but we just can't tell yet.
Currently with the 360, If you install a game to the hard drive, you still have to insert the disc to play it. With the xbox One, the disc isnt required, so you and some friends could get a brand new game and split the cost to each install it on your xbox. Microsoft has to either require the disc to be inserted, or charge a fee. If the disc had to be inserted, It would mess up their multitasking between games, so they aren't going to change their minds on this.
They have those family packs for xbox live gold so they might have considered linking game serials to all accounts in the family... MIGHT have. So knowing M$, you will have to pay for the game twice

You have to be signed into your profile to play a game without the fee. So you can't let a friend borrow a game, unless they want to pay the fee or use your gamertag.
Microsoft obviously told someone at EA that they were going to make people pay extra to play used games. Imagine the backlash if people had to pay for an online pass and ...
They said something along the lines of "you can continue playing single player games or watching a DVD/bluray should you lose connection to the internet." The way they said it made it sound like you can't start a game w/o internet, but I don't know.
You can play used games, but it sounds like you will have to pay a fee.
I think microsoft is just trolling everyone because the two biggest rumors were saying it would be called the 720 or the infinity lol
It didn't go "Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, and then Playstation One"
They made the sticks concave and they (at least a little bit) curved the triggers so your fingers wont slide off as easily. Other than the size, and the fact that it has triggers but they aren't used to shoot in FPSs, those were my two biggest problems with the DS3 whenever i played playstation at at a friend's place.
Its not going to be on the next xbox... Just because it is coming out around the time the next consoles are doesn't mean anything. Look at san andreas, it came out in June 2005 and the xbox 360 was released in November. Both are a proper sendoff to the consoles they were released on.
influxity:
It's not really gameplay unless the video is what you see when you play the game. The trailers thus far have introduced the characters and what we can expect for graphics and environment. They accurately show the graphics, but not gameplay. For example, we have no idea what the shooting and driving mechanics will be like.
I prefer trailers like this so that the game is completely new and surprising, but they aren't gameplay trailers.
The power brick will probably be internal, or at most the size of a laptop's. They need the disk tray because some people would play offline and some people have really slow internet (so they couldn't download the games).
You must have not payed attention to the rumors, because they stated that the next xbox would require users to install games on the hard drive to play them.
Why was there a need to have "that probably got it wrong" in the title? They are obviously wrong lol
HURP
was going to post and orly comment myself lol... When else would they release this information?
Wenis has it right. Although, i will wait for it to be at least half off on steam a month or two after it comes out before i buy it on pc lol
I would actually like to at least have the option to enable that text in the top right.
I hope they go the way of dinosaurs as well... BATTLEFIELD 4 DINO MODE THAT IS!
You can predownload steam games? I preordered FC3 blood dragon and looked for that option the night before release and couldn't find it.
Microsoft's games on demand usually have the game priced at full retail, and if they released the download at the same time as the retail release, it would be the same price. European and Australian games cost loads more than games purchased in america for reasons that no one seems to be able to explain. I can't see them putting...
I don't mind getting negatives if people reply and discuss why they don't agree, but that doesnt happen a lot of times.
DUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH
