"I"m not getting an Xbox One" Megathread

[stupid_chris]

May I point out (and flagrantly promote), for anyone who doesn't already know, that MS have done a complete 180 on the DRM.

-snip-

I posted the article from what this is based off a few threads earlier

[rryy]

I won't because I'm not that interested in console games that much anymore and I'm not planning on getting another one. I have a Wii that I haven't used in a while, a PS3 used for watching movies and TV shows, but no Xbox. I will happily stick with my computer.

Xbox One flat-out scares me. Not gonna touch it with a 10-foot pole. Also PS4 is cheaper, has better hardware, and doesn't have a mandatory always-on camera and microphone in your living room.

[KD3]

Never getting a console ever again. I'm sticking with PC. I owned an Xbox 360 which was good. Xbox One is absolutely terrible in my opinion.

I don't even have an Xbox, nor do I want one.

Whats this Xbox one anyway? I hear it sucks.

It's the Xbox One. That's why it sucks http://venturebeat.com/2013/05/28/how-microsoft-screwed-up-the-next-gen-for-themselves/

And EnterElysium, I recently got into your videos. I saw that video, but we didn't "win". There are still a lot of things wrong with it.

Nope

I can agree that it sucks, but everyone always makes the no used games seem like the devil. Which is dumb, because why do you think steam games are so cheap ?

[stupid_chris]

Actually this has been changed, used games won't be a problem, you can resell and buy as you wish.

[Sbowyer28]

If anything im investing into a PC that can actually run games and so I could make Cinematics.

[lobsterbark]

I think that the only reson that console gamers ever used the Xbox 360, and will use the PS4 is becuase they are to stupid to realise that the hardware on any gaming device is very important. It won't really matter to them that the PS4 is technically supiriour, all they know is that the PS4 suports used games.

[EnterElysium]

we didn't "win". There are still a lot of things wrong with it.

Oh I agree, we won a battle not the war. However it was a BIG battle, and a landmark battle, something that has never happened before in any military campaign. But yes, still not everything fixed.

P.s. Thanks for getting in to my videos!

Me? an Xbox?

[this post was made as a fun statement and not to be taken as a flamewar starter. I would buy the PS4 if i didn't have a PC, anyways.]

[RogueMason]

Now see, if they dropped the price and got rid of the unnecessary restrictions, it would be decent enough for me to consider. However, the only reason I'd actually get one is if games that I wanted weren't released on PC or 360 (read: Halo, most likely ). So at this moment in time, am I going to get a One?

No.

[satcharna]

My boyfriend, who has always loved his Xbox and Xbox 360, says that he is never buying it, both because of the stupid restrictions, and also because it has a camera that wants to look at him all the time.

I myself would never consider buying a console in the first place, since a pc is superior in every single way.

[drakesdoom]

Welcome home, now let us pose and flex so all the ladies feint.

[Flymetothemun]

I'm not getting one. I'll own and use a Playstation 2 'til the day I die.

[bigdad84]

I am definitely getting one. I was a little hesitant with the "always-on" connection thing, but since they axed it, it's smooth sailing from there.

Main selling point for my is if I will be able to hook my Dish Network to my Xbox One

[Trekkette]

When I game, I'm straight PC games. If I ever consider getting a console, my friends have orders to slap me until I come to my senses. So, the Xbox One is only on my radar as comedy fodder.

[mitch323]

Xbox One?

Ew no.

[satcharna]

[Scorpi15]

In a free newspaper (mX) I got a few days ago, it calles the Xbox One a XBone. Just to drill in the fact.

[cesarcurado]

I'm not getting an xbox one.

I'm also not going to get a PS4.

PC masterrace!

[Devo]

It used to be traditionally 8 years between console cycles, and now it's getting to a point where they are creating so much crap it's rediculous. No backward compatibility on the Ps3 for ps2 games? and the same for Ps4? no way.. im done.. Xbox and Sony can have their console war.

Nothing beats a good old Sega Master System/Megadrive

[Spartwo]

I don`t trust them,if they can just turn off DRM they can just as easily turn it back on. I will making the switch(which kind I don`t know yet)

I'm still using a PS2 for the most part, although I eventually did buy a Wii for having fun with friends on.

I never will own any of the Xbox series consoles purely out of my dislike for Microsoft, and I am in no hurry to get a PS3 or PS4 because they don't have any titles that I like.

Almost all of my gaming is done on PC, that way I can for the most part control what it is doing when.

This whole deal about the always-on camera and microphone with the xbox one? Can we say invasion of privacy? There WILL with certainty be a mountain of lawsuits within months of the xbox one coming out.
