There are certainly alot of trolls on the internet but amidst all the memes and blatant fanboy flaming there are plenty of reasonable posters that are worried about the xbone. I still don't think people are making a big enough deal about the kinect surveillance cam. Most people seem to hate on the 24 hour online check-in and used games stance the most. IMO people probably won't really be paying attention about the always-connected kinect when evidence shows that Microsoft has been doing dubious things with it. I'm more annoyed by the fact that you have to buy the damn thing in the first place. I don't want a kinect, I have no use for it whatsoever. Why wouldn't people have the option to buy the Xbone without the fucking thing? | ||

Why wouldn't people have the option to buy the Xbone without the fucking thing? It is a core portion of the console. It would be like the Wii using mouse and keyboard. Exclusive games will be designed with it in mind. I personally don't want it, but I see the logic. | ||

Why don't you just plug it off (which I assume is possible), or let it point against the wall, instead of your room. | ||

I personally don't want it, but I see the logic. Sony is doing the same thing with their Move as well, integrating it into both the controllers and the system. But at first glance at least, it looks a lot more well done. From the customers point of view, they're just buying a ps4 with the move integrated. But from the customer's point of view on the XBone, they're buying the xbox with a full block attached to it that they don't want or need. | ||

Ill be the first to say I wouldn't put it past them, but I also believe in seeing proof before burning buildings down, especially since its a post that got deleted on reddit. I mean I see it as extremely likely considering they disabled comments on their youtube(confirmed) and facebook(i think). | ||

Here in Croatia not many people can afford to pay 80$ for every game (keep in mind, thats 10% of the average monthly salary here!) | ||

It's a huge deal in other parts of the world. | ||

We know companies pay for good reviews on websites or use other tactics to make themselves look better. This is just more of the same from a business. Because its illegal and extremely pathetic? | ||

With all due respect, but if a video game of 80 EUR/USD costs 30% of someone's monthly pay, that person needs to set his priorities straight. Western Europe and the US accounts for the largest chunk of all console sales because people in these areas have a larger disposable income. Microsoft is focussing on that market, not on the peripheries. Does Peru even have access to Xbox live? | ||
