honestly, I was getting into the hype and being like, "I want one!" but now that the conference is over I can't really recall what I wanted.  D4 and Crimson Skies were certainly surprises though.  I'll just play my brother's.  I'm sure he'll get one.

Good way to save money. LOL.

$500 for a box that has PC-style restrictions on content distribution? Seriously?

I mean, yeah, the games looked visually impressive, but most of it didn't look any different from what we're seeing now. Titanfall, Killer Instinct and Dead Rising 3 looked cool, yeah...but no fucking way am I paying that for those. That's how much I payed for my fat PS3 back in '07, and it was luck that I had that money on hand.

To MS's credit, though, the single-minded focus on game content is how I wish EVERY E3 conference was. None of this "20 minutes on Kinect/Wonderbook" bullshit.

I agree 100 percent. None of it looked bad, but none of it looked ANY better than what we already have. BF4 looks like PC version of BF3, for example. I thought the Metal Gear trailer was the most impressive for actually showing a new style of gameplay, and phenomenal visuals... but it's a current gen game.. Ha!

I just can not see much difference in the tech honestly. I wonder how you will be able to play the Kiosk version in the stores.

I hope it fails.  There's no way I'd pay that much for something with so many restrictions. I wouldn't even pay a dollar for it lol.  Oh and don't forget about  these costs:  Gold Membership, Game, Controller, High Speed Internet, Cable TV, and Tax  Money Mouth

Money, Money.... That is all MS cares about, f what the gamer wants. That is what I am seeing.

I was interested with that Rogue Like game "Below". Umm...Errr...I missed MGS5, so yeah...I saved 500 dollars.

Yup. I am glad I am sitting next gen out. I can get a Atari Jaguar CD and AvP for it less then that price and have more fun.

No thank you.  I would give them 300, but only if they cut out all of the features that are not crucial to playing games.  

Homelessrook

06/10/2013 at 05:46 PM

If I was going next gen 300 would be doable, but like Aaron brought up, Internet, Games, Gold Mem, Extra fees I am sure they have not annouced yet.

Screw Xbone they can keep there wish i was a pc Not!!!!! System $500 i could buy a PS3 and a 3DS and a few games for that ludicrous price xbone not in this life they can keep it.

In all honesty yea the games are impressive and yea they dont look much better then what we have now but $500 on a system you can only use if you have internet is ridiculous and to not be able to play nothing but the 60 to 70 dallar price tag is ludicrous yea get a system $500 a couple of games$120 thats $620 bucks just at the start uhhhhh not going to happen here im not uhhhhhh insane lol!!!!

As I raise my fist into the air I chant your Anthem " Screw Xbone" LOL. Oh for sure they are crazy as hell.

06/10/2013 at 07:41 PM

Hell $620 i can buy or put a nice downpayment on a good PC really xbone u think u can compete with a PC NOT!!!

I think Halo is done selling systems for them too. I mean seriously. H5. I never liked the game anyway, but come at us with something  better than that. Also Forza 5, I really liked the first 3 but now it is just over. Reboot replay that is all I see.

leeradical42

Yea Halo, Forza, Battlefeil,Call of Duty, Modern Warfare gimme a brek already how many time can you really redo these gamesand expect to gamers happy only ones that are happy are fanboys who do nothing but sit in mom and dads house playing these games 24/7 im so done with this crap.

From what I've read, pricing experts are saying that the PS4 wil definitely cost less than the Xbox One, mostly because X1 comes packaged with Kinect, but who knows? And because of past mistakes *cough cough* PS3 reveal *cough* Sony knows better than to price it over $500. But for the X1, what I've seen today personally isn't enough to justify that particular price point.

Homelessrook

06/10/2013 at 05:48 PM

I heard the price points on the games may be 70-80 bucks. That is not even the SE versions.

That price was about what I expected. Sure as hell don't have the money to be spending that, especially not something like XBONE.

Same here, It is just out now. People will pay it but not this person.

You know my stance,Lar. I'll be sticking with my present consoles for at least a few more years. Later I'll be getting a better pc. So far I'm not impressed by the X-boner one's anti consumer/anti privacy/anti ownership/anti Mom & Pop store approach. Hopefully sony isn't as nuts!

Homelessrook

I am just not seeing anything better than what is out now. Fanboys can keep a system afloat for so long. Maybe they will have Justain Beaver playing Halo 5 like they did with Justin Timberlake on the first one to get all the kids on board.

Everything has been said about the Xbone, so I really don't have anything else to add except that the MGS5 and Sunset Overdrive trailers looked cool.

Homelessrook

06/11/2013 at 08:01 AM

I think it is just more of the same being released. Sure MGS are good games but come on people you want someone to spend 500 bucks on your system before they get any games for it? Really?

My limit on consoles is $400. Prices go up, but my income stays the same, so I'll have to wait 'til a price drop. And $70-80 for games?! I think I won't be buying anything day-one anymore either.

Homelessrook

06/11/2013 at 07:59 AM

Now the price on the games is just a rumor right now. I hear you on the prices go up and my pay stays the same too.lol.

My guess because they are bundling it wil the Kinect it went up but I wish it was more like $449.99 or something. I am going to be waiting for a big price drop for it. I'll probably wait a few years like I did to get a 360 when they have a better system out and a lot of the games are out already and cheaperish.
