(Dare to be different . Nice job Sasha)

I need to work harder. Haven't reached that round half-mill yet.

Congrats!

Oh man.

Atleast it's better than GLU's games

They charge for a difficulty level and the achievements don't even work!

he said sorry. what's a brother s'posed to do?

Give Viper all the smilies.

@Sashamorning It might be fixed now. If you have a save from the last checkpoint, could you try doing the last fight again & see if it pops? 2m ago... try it

I've been going back and forth with them. It didn't pop for me, but other people have been getting it. Maybe because I'm on normal and not Hardcore.

I'm betting that our GS will carry over.

hmm i guess so

Yes, I'm 90% sure about profile getting transfered over. E3 Event will probably clear everything up.

They confirmed gamersore carries over

Does your progress towards games get carried over

360 games will still be coming out for a while, its not like he has to switch immediately

If rumours of 360 and one's live will be connected (friends list and g) then he can switch back and forth

^^^that's what I plan on. I am not getting rid of my 360's.

I also predict the Xbox360 Servers will be closing within 3 years. It'll force people to switch, if they haven't already, just like with Xbox Servers.

I will have both consoles.

I dont see them closing 360 servers they made the system a way that if they did people would actually flip

360 games wont work on xboxone :(

360 servers should be up for a long time yet, im probably gonna stay on my 360 for a few years, xbox one can wait and ps4 can suck it lol

Doesn't make a difference. Xbox games didn't work on Xbox360 and they still shut down the servers. Well, actually they did until backward compatibility was removed.

I don't see people flipping out. I see them ether buying Xbox One, PS4, or Both. It's bond to happen ether way. 3 Years will probably be the end of Xbox360 servers.

Maybe game servers but not actual support for 360 i think with gamerscore and everything they have added i dont see them removing everything

Xbox One is hueg. Almost like this: http://ryplusk.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/xbox.jpg?w=479

lol jk. :D

Our deployment gaming still consists of a very used N64 with Mario Kart, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark.

That's better than a 360!

^yea, not really.

Cam, exactly. It's clear Microsoft is releasing a home entertainment hub that plays next gen video games, and not a video game console.

Yep, which was the goal all along. Still, it's designed to be as good if not better than what Sony can do with gaming. Two pronged approach: casual and gamer.

It's ambitious, but they're in good shape if it works. It's like a PC. I use mine primarily for work, but I can game too.

Amazes me how derp some people handled the reveal the other day. Still seeing small waves of it.

That was confusing. So you can link accounts? Can my friend in my house play a game on another console in my house so we can boost? CONFUSING!

hey!

They're holding off details until launch. We'll find out the details of the bill after they've passed it.

Link brought to you by Beavis lol

Rent games off the cloud? Download a 25+ gigabyte game? BWAHAHAFUCKINGHA! It takes me roughly 3 hours to get a 1gig game off of GoG. By the time I get the "rental" DL'd

the time would be expired.

^. According to their press release on the 21st, users would be able to play games as they were downloading... so...

*snort* And I can watch videos while they're buffering too. Well, 15 seconds or so at a time, but technically true.

Besides... Who says the rental has to start when you start downloading?

I downloaded the NCAA 13 early release last year. 7GB. I know I was in WY, but know how long it took? 30 hours. It was a 3-day early release. 30 friggin hours.

So the time that the period begins is important, especially if the assumption is that you can play during download.

The cloud won't work for everyone. The infrastructure can't handle it for everyone. I've been screaming into the abyss about this.

^ agreed. I'm not sure how exactly they can handle all of what they're claiming. Must be some serious server action there. Anyway. Their claim. It was just a thought.

I didn't touch the Cloud for the 360......I don't know why they want to push it so bad with this console.

That link answers nothing Chipp. If anything it simply confirms my previous thoughts. Microsoft is being VERY sneaky with all answers surrounding used games. This ENTIRE

Situation reeks of "preventative damage control". They saw the outrage at the rumors and are ABSOLUTELY desperate to put a spin on it. Used games have gone away methinks.

The internet over there was that bad? I just downloaded 1.7 GB or so yesterday it took about 15 min max.

I wasn't IN Gillette, I was 20 miles north, in DSL land.

Waiting for the Swearing Off Xbox One leaderboard.

Everyone is acting like its the wii-u

Lol. I like the new controller.

Hate about none of my arcade games crossing over, Hate about no backwards compatibility. Hate about 86ing avatars after they got us to like them. Yeah....HATE!!!

I'm just going to stop trying to talk sense in to people bitching about backwards compatibility and laugh at the derp conclusions some of them come to.

They only thing to really be upset about is the used game hassle. That is kind of a dick move. They are punishing an entire community for a few law breakers.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me. It seems to hurt more than help. Not to mention having to register it online. I owned a box for some time without a connection...

My only concern would be when you first buy the console and only have a few select titles to play. That and having to buy games just to use it almost

Other than that, I don't see a problem with no backward compatibility. Just wallets being emptied like hell, ;p

Requiring a connection is difficult for some people... unless they allow you to phone in the code.

As far as backwards compatibility... you have a 360, right?

For backwards compatibility, how many people still play original xbox games on their xbox360?

Exactly.

I dont believe rumors and even if true all.subject to change especially based on consumer feedback and focus groups. I've no doubt it will be great if not

For long wait for good selection of games and high price. I know they make.more money off people who dont care bout achievements but

If that results in more expensive boosting or gaming...die hard will have to work for more $ to game & others may start playing just for fun due to cost. God forbid!

I think a lot of people are overreacting like usual, making assumptions, and reading a lot into side interviews where ms cant show all their cards yet.

It will probably be more clear after e3 and pax, once sony has shown their cards

A good time to join the darkside I suppose.

I play Xbox1 games on the 360 but it was horribly supported and there was shit all supported. Same goes for 720 then screw this shit my 360 is 5 years old it ant lasting

beyond 2014

I was considering picking up 3 more copies (plus another xbox) of Naruto: The Broken Bond to self-boost to Hokage. And another copy of Halo4...

My reading the the major nelson posts is that you can only INSTALL to one xbox. Any others will need the disc to start.

I thought it said you could install it to as many as you want, but you'll need to buy a new key for any but the original installation.

They have basically gone down the PC gaming route, so the game code will be assigned to your profile. Can see why EA ditched online passes now..

its seems like its xbox version of steam

I agree with Rhy. Sounds like your friends can play it on your system, you can even take it to their house but only you can play it.

Essentially discs will become XBLA games. It's the old PC one-time-code deal. Oh yeah, and they can revoke your license at any time.

Looks like I'll only be needing one console and one tag! (Except for region-locked games.) Saves me money.

Not sure about the friends playing it on yours. It looks like it's account-locked. You can play it on theirs, but only if you sign in your profile.

Thing is this can't be the reason EA did away with passes because ps4 isn't doing this so EA will still have the used game problem

Unless EA is going MS exclusive...

Doubt they are that stupid

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-22-phil-harrison-tries-again-to-clarify-game-ownership-second-hand-sales-and-always-online-in-xbox-one

I have a hunch they will have something worked out at least for a second xbox in the household, but we will see sometime when it is closer to market.

That article makes things more confusing, and with this online crap, what about people who don't have Internet ur gonna lose lots of consumers this way

Read the press releases please! you can play on any console you want provided it has your gamertag on it. You stream the game from the cloud!

Also, if someone borrows your game, they have the option to install it and pay for it. If not they will have limited access, basically a time-limited demo.

You know they want your money so they will do everything they can to get it.

I never read that they get limited access, even Xbox support on twitter said nothing had been said about used games other than they will allow it and more will about late

Im indifferent, saw stuff i liked, saw stuff i didnt. Which has been the case with every console ever.

And i like to be a trollio

Really? What was good about the Apple Pippin?

its follow-up, the Longstocking was not backwards compatible. that is what doomed it.
