They doubled the price of games and tripled the price of a single controller.

What i do not like about the One is the Kinect. And all the info it can gather.
And we all know how some are taking advantage of those info. Like Facebook wanting to use your pics for commercial purposes etc.
Everybody knows it will be hacked or used to spy on people. That info will be collected and used in all kinds of research or for marketing purposes.

Don't know about PS4 requirements.

I'll probably stick to PC gaming anyway.

I really dislike the way Facebook has wormed it's way into just about everything you do online. It's because of privacy concerns I never joined them in the first place. Now it's gotten to the point you can't even comment on blogs without signing in to them.

And I'm afraid Google isn't much better. Anybody notice the Google Bot in the current users list on this forum?

I do agree with most of what you are saying but as for the Google bots and the other bots that visit the site, I could block them but they can be useful in getting the site higher up in the search results in Google and without them it would be a lot harder for people to find the forum

Haha, every time i search for something, i'll get bombarded with "taylored" advertisement on every site after that. Almost spooky.
Today it is coffee machines. Only because i clicked on a link in one of my mails. All your Internet action is carefully monitored and shamelessly exploited. So much for the free world.

Google Bots can be useful for websites to generate more traffic.

Xbox One goes a step further. Maybe if your reflexes are top notch, you will get a visit from a Pentagon General, offering you a nice job in an F22.
Or you will get some advertisement for a more healthy diet or a free clothing advice. You name it.



PS Bill if you read this, don't get funny ideas

Xbox One release date is November 2013, price is £429 / $499 / €499

Besides the obvious exchange rate fail, it seems to be worth every penny of it.
Despite the rumors of the new consoles not being sold at or below production prices, i think they have chosen a similar strategy as before. Make money on the games. Sell as many consoles as you can.
Sony will have to respond with a similar price tag or M$ will get a head start in sales. Most people look at the price of the device and less at the games.

Well it seems the new xbox is serious crippled now Sony has announced hic policy on used games and drm also the PS4 is 100 bucks cheaper

Imo both new consoles are garbage. Gaming industry is really going downhill...

Some news a headset is now included with EVERY xbox one.
