It only works if you go through a cable box. For me, cable is an extra $80 a month.
I use Netflix and Amazon Prime and have more than enough stuff to watch. Or I can play a game, since that's what the console is for.
For TV, the only thing I watch live is football which is free on over-the-air broadcasting. A cheap little antenna plugged into my TV gives me a days worth of football, but I can't plug it into an XB1.

says the guy making an Android-based handheld gaming console. But not that he's biased or anything.

Kind of has that "Crazy Ones" feel from Apple.
I like it.

But is this because of demand, or is it because Sony can supply more units so each store can accept more PS4 pre-orders than XB1s?

The fact that you can swap out the HDD is a feature that can be done on PS4 but not XB1
I want to see what the camera can all do. If the rumors are true that they were originally thinking of including it, I'm sure they put some time and effort into making it do some cool things. So far, we haven't really seen that yet.
And how long until Skype comes to PS4? I have Skype on my TV, tablet, phone, iPod, PSP, PS Vita, and computer. It can only be a matter of time befor...

Ireland had deep religious divisions where people went to war with each other because of slightly different interpretations of the Christian religion.
So much drama over nothing.
Europe has fought countless wars based on slight ideological differences between Catholics and Protestants as well.
So much drama over reading the Bible.
In 1994, a Colombian soccer player was killed because he scored an own goal during the World Cup.
So much drama over a leat...

Because of the lag, I believe it to be real.

Am I the only one who heard Yusef talk about the "beautiful 1080p camera" for Skype and say to themselves, "Well at least something works in 1080p on the Xbox"?

So if my wife is watching New Girl on TV, is she going to get bombarded with friend requests to play CoD? I see divorce papers in my future.

Overall, a lot of that stuff looks really cool. Finally Microsoft put out somet...

Are you saying that in sports, the losing team doesn't have merit? They play their heart out, but they lose. There's still merit in that.
And I'm tired about the "it's about the GAMES" mantra. No it isn't. I can't afford every system. Nobody can (except people at IGN who get to play every game on every system for work). You choose a platform and you play the games on that platform. And so what's wrong with being a die-hard fan for the platfo...

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I'm all for it. Pick a side and vigorously defend it. It's no different than picking your favorite sports team and cheering them on while wishing misery on everyone else.
In the end, does it really matter? It's not going to kill anyone if someone has strong emotional attachments to a brand. People have strong emotional attachments to their sports teams, and nobody has a problem with that. So cheer on the Xbox One if you&...

I just wish there wasn't a social stigma for being an older video game enthusiast, and to some degree I think it's getting better. It still feels weird to meet new people and say that I've been enjoying The Last of Us or Sly Cooper.

The Xbox One will be just as relevant in five years as it is day one...
which is to say, not at all.

Thanks. I was thinking of the redesigned Xbox 360 the eliminated the optical port. My mistake.

4477d ago 3 agree0 disagreeView comment

This got me thinking, why does nobody every bring up the fact that only the PS4 has optical audio out? This is one of the details that came out at E3 and was in the news for all of 10 minutes before things moved on. But with all the debate over resolution and frame rate and everything else, the XB1 doesn't have an optical audio out option. You're stuck with HDMI.
Also, it makes me wonder how Microsoft couldn't have fit the power supply into the unit. Maybe the XB1 wa...

Fine, I'll be the guy. I deny it. I don't want to kill zombies. Flower on the PS4 is more stunning than this game.
First we had vampires and everyone was obsessed with them.
Now we have zombies. Can we please just move on to mummies now? Is that too much to ask?

I'm reading Jeremy Conrad's tweet differently. I think Gamepur is misinterpreting what he's saying.
He's complaining that all these reviewers are making a big deal out of the PS4 version dropping frame rate from 60 to 50 fps once in awhile and those reviewers make it sound like you shouldn't buy the PS4 version for that reason (despite the fact that you'll hardly notice the slight frame drop).
But the fact the XB1 version is at 720 is not an issue at al...

Well I have to say that I would rather see Blacklight and Trine 2 as launch titles than Tiny Brains and Pinball. I think it's a good trade.

How is it that "cramgaming" has video of AC4 on XB1 but no other site seems to be able to? A lot of the major outlets say despite the embargo, they still haven't seen anything. So what gives?

If only it were that easy. Microsoft has already spent millions in r&d to get the kinect where it is today. They need to include it if they're ever going to get a return on their investment. The xbox one was designed around kinect and I highly doubt they will sell one without it.

what resolutiongate is indicative of is that developers want things to be as easy as possible. Microsoft says the power of the cloud is going to help improve their graphics, but that's just one more hurdle for these guys to jump over. They don't want to deal with esram so god knows they don't want to have to deal with writing to the cloud as well

Not always. When TGS came around somebody asked him if there would be more announcements at the show and he said no, everything had been said at that early presser. A lot of people thought they were just teasing and going to show off something grand at the show, and then nothing happened. Turns out he was telling the truth.
It's probably going to be the same here. Just a recap of everything coming out and hyping up the launch of the console at midnight.
