** PRE ORDER YOUR NEXT GENERATION CONSOLE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK **

[Deluxe1]

I was thinking about a next gen console but the xbox just doesn't interest me one bit.

 

[therealpieman]

Maybe they don't want many pre orders as they don't know their allocation etc?

But such a high deposit is odd in my view...

 

[Mr Gimp]

If the costs of the new generation are going to be so high, I think I'll be taking up some.more interesting hobbies!

 

[WingZero30]

Console for £600 - 8+ year life cycle.

Seems to be reminiscent of PS3 launch lol

 

[se_vietboi]

Xbox One seems to focus on everything except gaming.

With Xbox One, games push the boundaries of reality, and TV obeys your commands. Say “Xbox On” to launch your personalised Xbox One Home screen, watch your favourite TV programmes or share your latest game results with your friends, all using voice commands. And no more switching inputs to watch TV or play a game; with an eight-core, x86 processor and over 5 billion transistors, with Xbox One you can instantly navigate from a game to your entertainment with no performance loss.

Some of the breakthrough Xbox One features include:

• TV on Xbox One. Navigate and watch live TV from your cable, telco or satellite set-top box through your Xbox One.

A New Generation of Xbox LIVE

The all-new generation of Xbox Live is more powerful, more personal and more intelligent. It makes everything more convenient and accessible, from allowing games to be installed in segments so that gameplay can start quickly, to updates downloading in the background. Save and store your personalised profile, games and entertainment in the cloud to access them anytime, from any Xbox One console. In addition, existing Xbox Live Gold Membership for Xbox 360 will seamlessly carry over to Xbox One. Xbox Live takes you deeper into the games you love with all-new features.

• Smart Match. A new Smart Match matchmaking system virtually eliminates waiting in lobbies by estimating wait times and finding people you want to play with.
• Game DVR. A dedicated Game DVR captures and accesses your gameplay, all saved to the cloud, so you can share your best gaming moments with your friends.
• Living Games. Dynamic, living worlds evolve and improve the more you play, and advanced artificial intelligence can learn to play like you, so friends can play against your shadow.
• Expanded achievements. A new and expanded achievements system captures video of your epic moments and rewards you in new ways, and your Gamerscore carries over from Xbox 360.
• Xbox SmartGlass. Xbox SmartGlass is part of the Xbox One platform, so it can render content directly onto your device. Now more devices can connect at one time for multiplayer and shared entertainment.

£429 for a games console will give it a miss.

I personally think the price is quite reasonable.

I spent more than that on the storage for my current PC and twice that on watercooling my last PC.

we have customers who spend more than that on a Steering Wheel for their system.

 

[Antony101]

I already own a 2600k/GTX 680 based PC in my room, I'm definitely buying another GTX 680 instead of that lump of crap.

I'd rather not be watched sleeping thanks.

 

[Mr_White]

Does this follow the usual OcUK policy of taking money for pre-orders before anything ships?

Good luck if so

 

[tonyli3]

£429 for a flash tv remote,and a kinect that would leave me wondering if bill gates was staring at me

Would enjoy a bit of Gates peering at me tbh!

 

[deuse]

We would anyone buy a console that forces the owner to be always on the net forces DRM and must have the Kinect connected at all times.

And you will have to pay to play your family or friends game. I see another flop for MS.

 

[JediFragger]

I'd rather not be watched sleeping thanks.

And errrrr 'other' stuff

I agree though, no ****ing way is a kinect working its way into my living room. How the hell could I conduct my 'terrorism' business/world domination plans otherwise!??

Prism + MS can sod right off!

edit - Extra 7970 for me instead I think, also I can masterbate in peace

 

[Antony101]

Literally, the Xbox One would be pointing right at my bed.



I'm not normally that bothered but it's another extra reason for me not to bother getting one.

 

[rjk]
