I'm surprised people are surprised about X1 bans too. Haven't there been enough horror stories regarding the same situation with Origin?

How hard is it to get banned from xbl anyway?
Apparently easy enough that it's actually listed as something to be wary of if you buy a used 360 on a number of sites. (And keep in mind Gamestop won't accept modded ones [or isn't supposed to] so it shouldn't be from modding the console)

Judging by pictures I've seen of racial slurs and other stuff that got you instantbanned on most other games I'd say they don't ban for anything but piracy.
Even that isn't an Xbox Live ban, they ban that console only. Not that I have experience ... twice

I vote republican, but fuck Xbox. I'm having a war of my own against an Xbro on another forum who insists that "all of his friends are getting it, so he will also. Besides, the PS4 sucks. They'll never have cool games like the Kinect can give you."

It baffles me.

Tell him to enjoy emulating a seizure on the couch to get zombies off him in DR3 I guess.

This is just the first week post-reveal. A lot of people haven't gotten information about the console yet. Plus MS still has a lot of time to change direction, but any company that's shown the current xbone with high hopes probably isn't smart enough to change course now.

They might be able to can the used games bullshit, but I doubt the online stuff will go away. Especially if a lot of games are coming down the pipeline that can't be run without dat cloud.

Even if some publishers weren't willing to allow disabling of their online components in their current games in development Microsoft could still remove the global online requirement and get a lot of good will back. Same with the kinect.

But I doubt they will.

Tried discussing PS4 vs Xbone on a primarily Texas football forum. Those idiots were just spouting back MS PR bullshit like always online will allow for amazing advances and the console is future proof. They have MS shaft and balls down their throats so far they thought everything I posted was a lie. Can't argue with stupid.

Funny thing is for the "future proofing" (i.e. 'the cloud') PS4 actually has a proven cloud computing variant and they're going with a brand new one. But they're currently downplaying it, likely since the actual results for the end user are questionable.

i think they don't want to turn 180? because they think it's a sign of weakness.what they are saying is "fuck it!if we have come this far,we wont back down.straight forward damn it,just act normal".

There's no surprise, ps4 is a pretty clear winner at this point and product availability for consoles is notoriously bad. Everyone has been ready for the next-gen system for a few years now and people want to get their stuff asap.
