It renders at 720p, but my argument isn't making a case for graphics. I'm trying to make a case for background processing that the player wouldn't actually notice but could take a large load off of the console's processing. So you're sidestepping my argument, which was for background things like...

Cost to MS is higher, but the cost to the consumer is lower. They're already going to be pushing the price range of what we think is acceptable. OnLive already does this, that's how you can play high end games on low end devices. It's also exactly what Gaikai is going to be doing for the PS4...

Not sure why you guys think we'd need fiber-level bandwidth. The data transfer itself is minuscule, it's the calculations that are large - calculations that would be handled by the cloud computing. If OnLive can stream an entire game plus its controls to my Kindle Fire with hardly any lag...

Google TV is awesome in theory but they got fucked over by content providers. If Microsoft has deals with said content providers, I don't see why their system can't excel where Google's failed.

Yes.

The current one is terrible, but everyone that has had a hands-on with the new one say it's pretty great.

R'hllor is the Lord of Light, more commonly known in Westeros as the Red God.

What's so bad about using the Kinect over a headset? Apparently the voice recognition is really good on the new one. They still guarantee that everyone can chat online because the Kinect is required and in the box.

EA has back peddled on the no Wii U games thing. Now they say there just "aren't as many in production."

I wouldn't call Dany power-hungry at all. Dany is on a quest to get what she feels she is owed, something that was taken from her family, and is trying to do so somewhat honorably (like by freeing slaves). Cersei wants power just to have it, and probably wouldn't care at the end of the day if...

She is a priestess of the Red God, the one that demands blood, ya know? I don't think it's surprising or ominous to anyone when she says that she's done a lot of sacrifices. I didn't take that comment as anything more than its face value.

When have you ever seen Melisandre to be dishonest? She basically does exactly what she says she's going to do.

I'm guessing $499 or $349 + 2 yr XBL agreement

By what reasoning? Melisandre believes Stannis is the rightful king by Westerosi law and chosen by the Lord of Light. She has no motive to betray him, Gendry certainly doesn't have more right to the throne than Stannis does.

I don't see how they could possibly top a war of all great living and dead ninjas, plus the juubi, especially when they haven't introduced any new possible villains. The manga has to be on its way to ending.

Stannius is lawful neutral. Six kingdoms out of seven is not enough for the True King, and Robb is a traitor for calling himself king.

It's pretty nice, definitely made watching last night easier. I appreciate that I can turn off the rest of the lights in my house, and it does serve as a good night light too like someone else said.

Got the backlights Vvoid linked, here's how they turned out. Edit - it's a 47" panel and the lights almost go edge to edge.

Yeah, that's a good point. MP games will cause rage. Oh god can you imagine the people screaming online while playing Halo?

The game suspends when it switches, I don't think it keeps going in the background while you're doing something else.

It doesn't replace your DVR, it has HDMI in that allows you to plug your DVR into it. The X1 is basically acting like Google TV in this case. Even so, it's going to beextremelyconvenient for anyone that already has cable service to be able to switch from game -> TV and back without having to...

Oh fuck off. No one can objectively look at both systems and say that MS doesn't have the better user experience. Maybe if you hate sports, tv and a fluid interface.

I stopped loaning out games in 1999 after someone stole my copy of FFVIII.

Most devs atm seem to prefer developing for the 360 and porting to PS3 afterwards. If that remains the case, I'd say we can expect 30fps X1 games andmaybe40fps PS4 games. If devs do a 180 and start to prefer the PS4 coding this generation, you may be right. Only time will tell. I still maintain...

When devs are making an identical game on multiple platforms, they conform to the lowest common denominator. You know this. You ask that like current games have any protection schemes whatsoever. What if someone steals a game now? What's the protection?

We're not looking for what high end PC's output Sean, you've have the debate multiple times yourself. We don't need ultra settings at computer resolutions of 2560x1440 or higher, we only need 1080p. You might see some higher graphical fidelity in first party Sony IP's, but the cross platform...

As long as they both have enough power to output at 1080p60 who is giving any fucks?

People being able to sell or trade their Xbox One games online is going to somehow hurt the system? It's a major convenience if you ask me, never need to walk into a fucking Gamestop ever again.

All it requires is a single authentication with XBL servers.

Chuk is terrible at spelling but he's not spoiling anything. The name R'hllor (misspelled in the subtitles as R'hollor) is mentioned specifically between Melisandre and Thoros when speaking during "The Climb" episode.

"probably"... "chances are" ... We all remember how much more powerful the cell processor was supposed to be, right?

The X1 literally does everything that the PS4 does and more, and people are calling it a dud? I just don't get it. Everything other than exclusive IP's considered, the X1 seems like a more sophisticated system. The entire Sony presentation was a social media circle jerk and they kept hyping that...

Why? The thing comes in the box, just fucking plug it in. You don't need to use the motion or voice controls if you don't want to. I don't see the big deal.

If by pushed back you mean it has never been an actual product and was just a proof of concept, yes.

ITT: Americans getting butt hurt that a system is going to work perfectly for them, and acting like they give a fuck about anyone else.

Varys said he would be given a keep with servants. Cersei just smiled. Barristan told them all to get fucked. Well, Stannis believes himself the rightful ruler of all seven kingdoms. Six is not seven, and Stannis doesn't believe in wiggle room.

The guy on stage doing the demo specifically said he was using Comcast, lol. They also had a DirectTV logo in one of the Wired videos. I don't think there are going to be any provider issues.

It is important to note that Barristan Selmy is the first and only person to have ever been dismissed from the Kingsguard. He got fucked over by Joffrey and Cersei pretty hard. Those are the remaining people that Stannis is warring against. Joffrey and Renly claim the Iron Throne while Robb...

Yeah how dare they end their console reveal with one of the most popular gaming franchises in history. Those idiots.
