Xbox One

Re: Xbox One

I'm behind the Xbox One and will eventually get one, but something that just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth is how they throw the word "exclusive" around.

This is a philosophy that picked up around the time we saw GTA on Xbox and Peter Moore came out with the tattoo, causing everyone to speculate. Basically Microsoft invests into grabbing certain elements of these games and then likes to claim they have "exclusive" features from that particular game.

I think it's cheap and I really wish they would quit throwing that word around so much. It has become standard procedure for MS to stand in front of crowds and claim "exclusive content available on to Xbox," only to deliver underwhelming features that are really only there to imply the actual game will only be on Xbox.

Really think we gonna get a release date today. Just like someone posted in the last page about that live stream. Thats gotta be it.

Seems doubtful, just going over some of the hashes at the show. Who knows though.

Stream here btw: http://tech.uk.msn.com/features/the-...-gamescom-live

Believe it starts in 40 minutes.

Definitely going to check this out. Hopefully we get some good information since they are in fact making it open to the public via streaming.

Re: Xbox One

I expect it to be a recap of their earlier media briefing.

Re: Xbox One

The 'get your hands on an Xbox One' tease is probably just it being on display in MS stores.

Re: Xbox One

Anyone watch it? I thought it was mehh. Pretty much just a recap of everything thats out there. Some cringe worthy moments between the crew working the show. It was basically the broadcasts that they were putting on while E3 was going on. Not a whole lot of substance in the 60 minutes it was streaming.

Re: Xbox One

Watched most of it, was about what I expected once I saw a picture of the stage earlier and posted we won't get anything about the release date. Just not that kind of show.

Liked the video upload stuff, and liked the stuff w/ Ryse co-op, converting someone to an avatar in the Rare Kinect game and anything involving Project Spark.

LOL, LAME.

Re: Xbox One

Really? That was it?

We already knew about that yesterday, I guess in EU it may be a semi big deal but over here I say "meh".

Don't get me wrong, I like FIFA and will probably pick it up but that news does not warrant the words "unique exclusive".

Eh, giving people a free $60 game isn't trivial...especially not when people are talking about the big $100 price difference.

Phil Harrison stated MS will be announcing other bundles. The net is a buzzing with this thought MS should launch Nov. 5th in NA with as COD Bundle, which would be a huge WIN for them if they did

Re: Xbox One

How funny would it be if they launched it with COD but it was a code that you had to use to get a digital copy of it?
