Xbox One has been revealed...

What were they thinking with the name? 720 sounds better.

No word if Live subscriptions are free or not this time

Specs are a bit similar to PS4.

The new controllers are uglier than the 360's, but overall I like the X-1.

Oh boy, the "Xbox is huge" meme is coming back...

Don't you feel that Microsoft focused too much on the TV/NFL stuff?

Yeah... and they shouldn't be forcing that stupid Kinect crap on buyers, either.

Agreed, hopefully Sony won't do the same with the new version of the PS Eye.

This sums up the conference in a nutshell:


Also I find this ironic, since it came out a day before the announcement:

Already a parody? Wow.

Apparently, the reveal caused some trouble for Xbox owners with a Kinect:

And apparently, paid subscriptions still exist -_-

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And it's good that they're still using paid subs... it funds Microsoft's network and keeps it strong and gives them money to buy more and more servers worldwide to decrease lag. Sony has to go stupid cheap, resulting in periodical network breaches for hackers, etc, and a smaller number of servers.

Ehem, need I remind you of this:

Any server can be hacked, regardless of value. And you're paying for services that are free on other platforms (Playing online, access to the store, and subscription service apps like Netflix). You're basically paying to pay more.

OFF TOPIC EDIT: You live in Oklahoma right? Any tornado damage in your area?

I know that nothing is unbreachable, but I hear about hacks a lot more on PSN than I do with XBL. Netflix is free by the way, so long as you already have a subscription with Netflix. You don't have to pay for the app, nor for access to the store... A sub only grants access to online play and (maybe?) for joining parties and sending messages.

About the tornadoes (last time I heard about them anyway): 51 dead, 200 injured, 40 missing, 13,000 homes destroyed, 2 billion dollars in damage. The only bad stuff my area got was heavy hail and strong winds that flattened our fence. A friend's cousin lost his home though.

I'm pretty sure there arean equal number of hacks for PS3 and the 360. I saw videos in the past that have footage of custom homebrew software on both platforms. On PS3, it was accomplished in the past with the Other OS function, but has since been removed. In addition Sony occasionally releases firmware updates to counter any recently discovered exploits.

It's a piece of junk.

And I'm an xbox fan.

Really, I don't think there is any market for junk like this. It's like they wrapped up all of the worst qualities of the xbox 360 then dragged them through the sewer for a week. I am thoroughly disappointed.

What if I told you that the Xbox 1 is a VCR.

Not even that, it's a Betamax:

The memes are here:

LMFAO

Your statement is quite ironic, since after the Xbox One announcement, Wii U sales have increased!

What the hell was Microsoft thinking when they designed the X-1...

They think that call of duty can sell the console for them. As far as they are concerned potential customers are not people, only the figures associated with your bank account.
