LOL, Im kind of bummed they are doing a completer reversal on all those shitty DRM stances. It would of been fun to watch the complete annihilation of the xbone.

Pretty cool of Microsoft and glad I preordered now. I've always preferred Xbox Live to PSN and all my friends/family have Xbox 360 anyway and will get Xbox One.
Get out, you can't afford this, is your latest single mother conquest paying for it?

Well to directly address your concern, the new PS4 controller is thicker and everyone with a hands-on says it's great. Another benefit is the Playstation Plus being like half the price of Xbox Live! Gold, and has more benefits to boot. Aside from that, the PS4 is reportedly more powerful, has an upgradeable hard drive where the Xbone does not, and it's $100 cheaper. It doesn't require an online connection or game authentication, and it can't spy on you, unless you decide to buy the camera.
Thank you sir.

Where did the assumption that I'm poor come from? I keep telling you not to believe everything your read/hear.

Also, do people really care about the price of Xbox Live? It's like $5 a month. Is that really meaningful to people?

But I thought Major Nelson said in that AngryJoe video the other day that it wasn't easy to take away the 24 hour online DRM check and that if you weren't a DEVELOPER DEVELOPER DEVELOPER DEVELOPER then you had no right to talk about it?

This is awesome news if its all true, because Microsoft realized how bad they fucked up instead of just sticking with their anti consumer policies. I'm still more likely to get a PS4 first when they release, but i *may* actually get an xbone now eventually, instead of avoiding it entirely because of MS policies.

Microsoft went full retard.

Never go full retard.

If not for Sony they would of gotten away with it. Sony deserves my money just on that.

Regardless after being a live member since the original xbox and now having PSN+ there is NO comparison. PSN+ blows it out of the water. Especially now that the party issues have been addressed for the PS4.

I am kind of sad that this clusterfuck is over. It was highly entertaining.

it now boils down to

cons against xbox one:
- $100 more due to kinect
- 20-50% slower than ps4 due to ddr3 vs gddr5 & ESRAM, 3gb of memory taken up by Win8, slower clock speed of GPU/APU
- currently shitty at making deals with indie devs
- microsoft thought their DRM and used game ideas were great and were shocked when everyone hated it. If they suck at pretty obvious stuff like that, what other obvious things are they going to fuck up in the future

cons against ps4:
- multiplayer requires buying PS+
- different exclusives (halo, ryse, dr3, KI, titanfall? for xbone; killzone3, drive, infamous, ? for ps4)
- PS+ security was a joke years ago and the servers went down for months sometimes, if all MP is centralized through PS+ could have long downtimes

There's no way they will drop the Kinect requirement, without it the system loses part of its uniqueness.
It's actually impossible for them to remove Kinect requirement. The Xbox One doesn't have a physical on/off button. You HAVE to speak to it for it to turn on. So, if nothing else, you're still stuck with Kinect for that reason.

'Xbox 180' is trending on Twitter.

Definitely a better name than 'Xbox One'.
