Calm down Deidre - seriously get a grip.
Where else are we supposed to discuss what the Xbox can and CANT do?
MS have screwed up big time with this shambles which makes your unquestioning brand loyal bizarre in the extreme.
If you are happy to pay £400 for an xbox360 in a different shaped case that's fine but its equally fine for everyone else to criticise and highlight the flaws which will hopefully stop a few blind purchases.![]()

I didn't realise this thread was for 'fans' only - maybe you should change the title to make it a little clearer that only positive comments are allowed?![]()

Regarding the X1 and the large number of titles running at 720p compared to the same games running at 1080p on the PS4, surely this is down to MS using GDDR3 memory for the GPU Vram, this would severely hinder performance at 1080p. The PS4 with blazing fast GDDR5 can apparently do 1080p no problem.

The Xbox has DDR3 and not GDDR3 which is a huge difference as GDDR3 is based on DDR2. GDDR5 is based on DDR3 but is much better suited to Graphics as it has larger memory bandwidth but worse latency compared to DDR3. But yeah the RAM is a major difference.
The one thing I thought was that GDDR5 memory is very expensive compared to DDR3 so how did Sony make the PlayStation 4 so cheap, will each console be sold at a big loss?
I would like to know why a type of graphics ram can make such a difference in performance?
GDDR5 5500 (1375MHZ actual) memory, in the case of the Playstation 4 (which uses a 256-bit bus) giving a total of 176GB/s of peak bandwidth. As a small note, according to interviews with developers, the actual real number when factoring in overheads and the like is more along the lines of 172GB/s. It’s still far higher than the Xbox One’s DDR3 2133 68GB/s.
Only just realised AC4 is released on the 22nd for all platforms in Europe, including PS4. Seems strange to release a game for a platform that is not out yet. At least the XB1 can play it on day one.
Just been watching vids of the gameplay and thinking I will pick this up on the 22nd, I love the new pirate setting compared to the old castles and forts setting in previous games.
Just reading that further it says:
Guessing my order will get cancelled at some point then :/
