Not a hope in hell, it's an expensive mediocre speced PC that ties you into Steam...

Whereas the Xbox One is a low spec PC media box that makes you pay fees after fees after fees for an inferior to PC gaming experience, yay !!

The new Xbox One summarized,

Pay for your game, pay again to play your game online, pay again to install your game again on another account. If you sell your game the lucky buyer will pay to play the game again..

Microsoft wins.

This thing will die a horrible death, faster than the Dreamcast haha

Has made the PS4 and Wii U look so much more attractive..

I very much doubt it will need to be installed on another account, it will only be a different console which will cause the lock out.

I would like to agree with you, however never underestimate Microsoft's ability to sell an Xbox to Americans.

Although outside of the US I can't see it doing well at all.

Yeah, I bet all those potential Wii U buyers will be rushing to get one now...

Not having a high-end PC, I thought they were pretty damn amazing.

Killzone Shadow Fall on the PS4 looks amazing that was *****.

Burned_Alive · 21 May 2013 at 19:59

Yeah, it might solve piracy but it also means you cant borrow a game from a friend and there goes the rental market as well.

The 'fee' for second hand games isn't even all about buying a used game. What if I buy a game and love it and want to take it to a friends house? Tough.

So yes that is a big deal breaker for me.

you log onto your account at your mates and bang it works, they made a brief ref to being able to play your games anywhere, if your mate then loves it i guess the "fee" will be to purchase a digital copy at full price, saves him going to the shop,

does mean letting your mate take the disk home to play it will not work, they are clearly trying a pc model to stop second hand games, pc has been dealing with it for years & its been ok

No official price has been announced, so it will just be a best-guess "placeholder" price like the PS4 at £399.99 to get pre-orders kicked off.

What are the chances of MS using reasoning such as "this is a console + PVR + teleconferencing device in one" and going straight for £500?

Because I honestly can't see it being much cheaper than that.

Tackle_Berry · 21 May 2013 at 20:04

Any news if they still plan on raping people of £40 a year?

'Raping'? WTF? It's optional! There are alternatives.

Built in PSU by the looks of things, nice. What's the port/hole thing for on the left hand side though?

I suppose its because it has to be ported to every system even the current gen but i was hoping it to look a lot better than that, it doesnt look that new at all minus a few special tweeks here and there

That's not the way it works, and "porting" doesn't actually happen.

Soulja · 21 May 2013 at 20:11

If the paying a fee to use a second hand game is true I won't be getting one and I'm sure ms will lost a lot of customers that way.

If that is indeed how it works I can still see flaws but I accept that it isn't as bad as I imagined. Still think it's a silly move though.
