@  d2_s : (23 May 2013 - 11:40 AM) hahah after the reveal Microsoft's stock dropped while Sony and Nintendos went up LOL
@  Goldenheart : (24 May 2013 - 01:45 AM) I've never seen so much hate for a new console as I'm seeing for the X1. It
@  Goldenheart : (24 May 2013 - 01:46 AM) It's a bit depressing. However, the fact it actually deserves all the hate it's getting is even more depressing.
@  Goldenheart : (24 May 2013 - 01:47 AM) Sure, we all picked on the Wii & WiiU with it's silly name and underpowered guts, but it was all jokes; not outright hatred & vitriol.
@  d2_s : (24 May 2013 - 06:36 AM) Wii U Amazon sales up 366% after xbox reveal LOl

@  KaliniuS : (24 May 2013 - 12:16 PM) @d2 lmao
@  KaliniuS : (24 May 2013 - 12:18 PM) Cable subscribers lost nearly half a million paid users in 2012 in the US alone. Cable TV companies are losing customers at such an astounding rate, I cannot understand why MS spent so much time and money trying to implement it in their next Xbox.
@  KaliniuS : (24 May 2013 - 12:19 PM) oops. Cable subscribers = cable companies ^
@  KaliniuS : (24 May 2013 - 12:20 PM) Also, if you watch TV on the Xbox, you cannot take advantage of other features your regular TV box can use like movies on demand or DVR. Plus, the feature doesn't work unless you have a gold account.
@  KaliniuS : (24 May 2013 - 12:21 PM) Essentially, it's a gigantic waste of time and money for Microsoft.
@  d2_s : (24 May 2013 - 05:27 PM) I think the success of the 360 has really gone to their heads. The stupidity of it all is unbelievable. I really hope it bombs
@  d2_s : (24 May 2013 - 05:38 PM) Cant wait to see hackers rip the system to pieces. also wonder when the first DoS attacks on live will happen.
@  AKA Superman : (24 May 2013 - 06:31 PM) I was one of those, Kal! I canceled my cable subscription a few months ago after they wanted to raise my rates once again ON TOP OF going "all digital" thus requiring EVERY television in the house to have a cable box. The TV that got the most use in my house was in the bedroom and hangs on the wall with the cable line screwed directly into the TV. I didn't want a cable box sticking out of my wall and considering I don't watch TV that much to begin with, I canceled it (which was a HUGE hassle in itself)! I now save $120/mth and that was just for the basic channels (no movie channels).
@  AKA Superman : (24 May 2013 - 06:41 PM) With that said...what the F$%K am I going to use an Xbox One for since, according to the reveal conference, it's a glorified and interactive TV box?
@  TonyDP : (24 May 2013 - 07:46 PM) While I'm as disappointed as everyone else with the XB1 reveal, I would hardly call it only a TV box. I'm sure it will be plenty powerful for games and I'm sure even MS wouldn't be stupid enough to turn its back on the hardcore gamer; they need only look to Nintendo to see how that works out. As long as there are good looking games - and E3 will go a long way towards clarifying that - I can just ignore everything else.
@  TonyDP : (24 May 2013 - 07:47 PM) BTW, got Star Trek for the 360. It was selling for $40 and I had $21 in credit so it only cost $19. At that price its a good experience and the story is actually better than the one from the movie. A little buggy at times but very playable.
@  AKA Superman : (24 May 2013 - 08:31 PM) I know there will be games, but they showed only 3 games at the reveal...only one of which consisted of actual in-game graphics (CoD Ghosts). They started the conference with TV crap and pretty much focused on that the whole time. Sony, on the other hand, made it PERFECTLY CLEAR their console is FOR the gamer! Microsoft better bring it big time come E3!
@  Brandino : (24 May 2013 - 10:05 PM) I think people are going a bit over board... the hate for the wii was way stronger then this.  Specially after they announced how weak the hardware was.   Remember how mad people were that the Wii wouldn't even play dvd movies
@  Brandino : (24 May 2013 - 10:06 PM) The cable company thing is a moot point IMO,   if a family can't afford cable then clearly they can't afford video game systems (until they steal one or it drops in price)
