and I just smashed Moto GP 10/11 for the 100% as well :(

Word from the boss man himself: "all is well"!

oh dumbass i should have actually looked at the pic first

It was a good giggle. No offense intended btw for those who may be passionate about the next xbox.

i had a chuckle, but im interested by the xbox one, but i want to see more and hear more before i make any decision- still too many rumour/bs floating around.

Ohh damn, you see what i did there, i used common sense :) (still looks like a toploader though :P )

The game's side of things is def' going to be interesting, shame about non-backwards compatability though. I know I'll end up buying one eventually anyway...

..just depends on price and money around the time it releases as to how early I'll get one. Otherwise, my backlog will be keeping me entertained for years!

Unless the next BF features ridiculously huge player filled matches and I'd be missing out if you know what I mean ;)

i honestly don't care about backwards compatibility, i dont play any of my ps2 games on my ps3 (yes i have one that worked), and i have my 360 to play stuff i have on bac

backlog. If we can work it out, could poss do picture in picture of 360 on the xb1ox (ohh see what i did there :P )

As long as Gamerscore carrys across im happy

All I've seen is Dev Beta for CoD Ghosts...And I just want to see more Xbox Games that can show off what it can do..

Video plus :) if they stated that at the unveil I would have been happy. lol

@chronic kaos- they didn`t show much real gameplay at all, it was mostly FMV! PS4 showed a hell of a lot more in game footage for sure... We need E3 to hurry up

I won't lie, i am super stoked for Mario Kart and Smash Bros

Can't go anywhere but up from here, right

I was ready to preorder until I heard about no backwards compatibility. I have at least 2 years worth of games to play still in my backlog.

No thanks!

no back comp will be a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people. I think with the launch line up at E3 people will change their tune.

The reason I would like BC is because there is well over a year or more of gaming left in the current gen lineup..der be aloot of games oot der!!!

I was sold until no backwards compatibility was confirmed. I might just go crazy and trade in my 360 and its games though. Plenty time to decide!

I don't get the importance of backwards compatibility. There's nothing stopping anyone from having multiple setups.

I think it's mostly a peace of mind for backlogs thanks to the importance of achievements. Who wants to have extra 360s sitting in storage in case of hardware failure?

As well as XBLA compatibility

And when you're asking people to reinvest in a console, they want to be blown away before dropping hundreds of dollars. Backwards compatibility makes the cost more justif

iable since they can then sell off their 360 or at least continue working on their 360 games without needing to have it and the one hooked up to the TV.

Shadow I agree. Wow factor needed before blowing the Bens.

I am not in it for the backwards compat. Why would you want to play your old games on the new system. Everyone has gotten spoiled with the backwards compat.

I agree with Lita, I still have my NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Sega Satarn sitting on my shelf. There is nothing wrong with multiple setups

How much backlog for each system?

The importance of backwards compatability has nothing to do with multiple setups, or having 10 different consoles to choose from. The issue is...

these old games, aren't old imo. Is Bioshock Inifinite old? Will GTA V be old? On the other hand, why do I even need a new console? 15 exclusive games in a year? TV &

sports? Trending? If it the 'one' then they would have been intelligent, added BC, and overtook there 'old' system by destroying it with BC.

Thus far, and in the likely future, there is nothing, not even a game that will make this a day one purchase. There are still excellent games slated for the 360. Wii U!

Templar LOL! You don't want to know. I should have never left the NES.

Diggs. Yeah I understand where you are coming from but since the One and the 360 are two different pieces of hardware and M$ decided to not make it BC because I think

they want the gamers to look ahead into the future and not in their opinion be dragged behind with BC. I will agree with you about Bioshock Inf and GTA V.

But what everyone is forgetting is that the 360 will be supported for a long time here after. I is just that you will have to switch your gaming systems to play the old

games.

congrats!

Geez! Congrats!

Hip hop hooray!

Used Game Market has no chance to survive make your time.

I mean HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS-ON

2. Dogs wearing orange dog unatards are AWESOME!!!

Glad someone else thinks VCR besides myself

Crimson, check whats trending on twitter - its no surprise :)

So if someone shouts, "I WANT A DIVORCE!" the Xbox One will red ring?

^

It does look just like a VCR, not over keen on the design.

I didn't expect anything gaming, to see things on the sports titles and even Cod was surprising. Start the new countdown!

confirm the "always on" rumor. Which could make every game susceptible to "server outages". =/

these are the people that expect the iphone to be dedicated to music.

a lot of the services will be tied to the cloud. this is a surprise? doesn't mean it won't play games/dvds/bds without a connection.

^this. I do understand people not liking that those things weren't addressed, but they weren't going to talk about that now.

@Beavis: No doubt, but it also doesn't say that it will either. MS is aware the rumor is going around and didn't say anything. So they are either hiding it or just daft.

exactly. this was an introduction and i think a pretty good one.

@Matrarch: True and it's their show, so they can do what they want. However if they are trying to excite me in to wanting the console this early, they have failed.

dude, they aren't going to devote their intro to debunking rumors. what kind of sales pitch would that be?

Also, I keep saying this, we're not the target audience. Gamers will buy a gaming console. This conference was about attracting new eyes and getting a pop.

They really don't need to show games to prove it plays them. We know it's going to do that.

well, i am just shocked that they didn't go into these dynamic achievements and how they would be affected by server closures.

You're right, there's no reason for them to talk about backwards compatibility, LIVE service improvements or changes, and if the console needs Internet to function...

none of that will be important to a someone buying their first console. I wasn't impressed, you were, great... I'm not trying to convince you to be unimpressed.

Tried saying the same thing...after saying it twenty five times, I have up.

And they made an announcement : http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-doesnt-require-internet-connection

because those are not core features. they talked about 4 or 5 major selling points and left it at that. you leave them wanting more, not bore them to death with details

Matarachie, funny you should say that. I was on my way to the fridge to get get me a cold pop. It appears I missed something. Dayum!

I'm not saying that they shouldn't talk about that stuff, I'm just saying I'm not at all surprised they didn't. I didn't see the show, so I really have no opinion either

way. We will get all this information, I'm just not surprised it wasn't in the context of this conference.

I get where the industry is right now, you know I do, I can't help but know, but from where 'I is' playing my games from right now, I need that core-goodness in my life.

The primary focus was "One" the convienince store of gaming, or the Costco of consoles, whatever you prefer.

It's not about the lack of games it was about the evasive marketing standpoint they took. Xbox LIVE TV with paid subscrition required from your provider, or...

how they flashed by the tech. The new tech is essentially the same as a "low-end" gaming PC. The highlight was EA and MS are now having children together.

did all of those channels they showed require a digital cable subscription? did anyone catch if xbox live will be offering some sort of service?

Gaming consoles have pretty much always had low end gaming PC Tech. It's dedicated hardware, so they can do that.

The backwards compatibility thing being what it is, I'll be waiting on this. Still looking forward to what they bring to E3, though!

When they announced it, the presenter stated that he was: "A Comcast subscriber" and this is what he has for live TV...if that is any indication :)

oh, well that at's a little disappointing.

I liked it. I don't really care about backwards compatibility and I always buy my games new (not necessarily straight away). I think they have a sale with me ;)

That's also one of my biggest concerns, the Xbox 360 has the best controller by far, no need to change it.

I loved me dem phat ass beasts

That's what she said!

Just bought a Razer Sabertooth .... cost me 80 Euros ... so I hope they don't change it either!
