Well Gamestop was on it's last legs so I'm pretty sure that any lifesaver MS threw at them they would eagerly take it. Both of these anti-consumer companies are the perfect match for one another.
Xbox needs to answer about people being able to sell their games with no fees to people on ebay or craigslist or others that are not on your friends list. It's none of their damn business who I give, lend or sell my games to!
Looks like no Gamefly, Blockbuster or Redbox rentals for Xbone either.
No matter what MS policies are you can't take anything away from Turn 10, they are a top notch dev team that produce quality work consistently. It's going to be a stunning game.
Haha, you might be right. I do see these guys/gals all over the internet.
Barely? Yes, these guys have made some good games, but my respect for them stops there. They're obnoxious narcissists who take every opportunity to get attention.
"A company named Rare which no longer has any of its original developers who will be working on a new iteration of titles decades old."
What does this have to do with anything? It's a moot and obvious point. Companies grow, age, hire people as others move on in life and so on and so forth. It's the same everywhere! You can't expect the same dev team to stay together forever, the world doesn't work like that. What matters is if the company maintains a...
I could be wrong, but I find it hard to believe that the "contributor" had a review copy, unless the "official" forbes reviewer gave them one, which would probably be breaking some sort of law or ethics code for review copies.
There's more than one GOTY other than the horrible one hosted yearly on Spike TV. Many gaming sites have their own GOTY
Nice to see a dev putting teamwork back in mp games. GOTY? Too soon?
I wish Insomniac well, but this game seems like it could be a bad blow for them. It doesn't seem to be getting any good buzz from the media or gamers.
Mika, you got one thing right...it's a hobby, not a lifestyle. Gaming, like all hobbies I have is something I do in my spare time (with my spare cash). There are some games I do buy new, but the majority are rentals or used. If gaming is your life that's cool for you, I understand and dont knock you for it. But gaming IS NOT my life, just a side hobby, and throwing down $60 for every game I want to play would be irresponsible of me as a consumer and more importantly as a parent. I wou...
I hope the Xbone has a lower failure rate than the 360. They better have designed it to be bulletproof if they intend for people to use it for tv, movies and games.
I keep my PSeye and the webcam on my pc unplugged when not in use. I'm starting to use proxies for browsing. And I also close my shades on my windows at home. Its not a matter of being paranoid because I don't do anything illegal or shameful, but it's none of anyone's damn business what the hell I do. Not my neighbors, not the US government and sure as shit not MS. This reminds me of a famous Benjamin Franklin quote:
"Those who would give up essential li...
@ elhebbo16, if Sony goes the same way where you NEED a PSeye to be connected to play, then they can gtfo as well. I'm not giving up that much of my privacy to play a damn game! If you're fine with a potentially always on camera and mic in your living room recording what you and your family do just so you can watch your American Idol and play your Halo that's great for you, but I refuse to partake in that. Go run along sheep, go graze a pasture or something...
They disable comments because the most popular comments are at the top. They don't want potential customers seeing those comments because most of them would probably be about how anti-consumer the Xbone is.
Right there with you Maria. Our governments are getting out of control and they love devises like this that consumers readily put in their living rooms. Unfortunately 95% of the population are sheep and never question anything. People are so willing to give up their privicies it's sickening. This Xbone is the worst form of spyware I've ever seen.
This is awesome, it's like a big kick in MS's nutsack.
*queue fake applause track*
You tried? What a douche...
But you still need to keep your old cable box so your new cable box can work, so dont get rid of it just yet.
@ wintersoldier,
I'm using my all powerful skills of "reading comprehension", you should try it...
From the article: "Loaning or renting games won't be available at launch". Meaning until we figure out a way and find a business partner to screw you you can't rent games.
