hey Ell -- start another leaderboard for not getting it and i will join.... i have a feeling it will grow in size and length

Thanks Shelf. I'll try to wait for all the details to surface. And DK, you really gotta take a step back sometimes and remember why you started gaming. Fun.

I'm sure the system will be at least $400-$500 and that's also enough to make me wait at least a year. Stupid backlog. Viva 360!

Chill. Relax. Calm down.

Ell: Completing all the achievements is fun!

Will waiting a year prove costly in games around release? Maybe they won't be completable if there are launch events for the achievements on games. WOE IS ME.

:)

Bonus points. I just understood your meme drop! Lulz!

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

I mean HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS-ON

My friends are what I value. The rest is just details.

It's good to know you won't leave me behind when the next-gen comes <3

I wonder if you can keep your friends on 360 when they move onto One. Because its going to be a while before I move on with no backward compatibility.

Would you buy it Boots?

@Manifest your gamertag/gamerscore carries on, your friends are attached to your gamertag so I'd say it's a resounding yes

PENGUINS SUCK!

Well except for these guys: http://bit.ly/unb5B8

Prince: My tag is proof that I'll buy just about anything at the right price. =) But, yeah I'll get it...just not at launch.

I'm indifferent, there is only 3 games that interest me at launch, and they are available on Xbox 360, so I would probably have to see some good XBO exclusives, to buy it

i am disappointed they didn't push the reset button on gamerscore. that would have been so funny.

There's a rumor the new xbox will cause penis cancer.

i love your attention to detail Ell. Lulz!

Haha awesome. This sounds like me last night. I was trying to figure out whether the team that scores 1st in the playoffs wins more than the team that scores 2nd or 3rd

Luckily, I don't have a minion that I can foist that onto and infect the world with my crazy ranting.

Lol...Well the partners still haven't gotten to the summers so I'll try to squeeze this in as a second research project ;)

I hated gt's initial findings in his endeavor too. I demand further research!

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 ;)

Highlights of the show in less than 2 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw

The d-pad has been fixed for a long while with the transforming ones, I think.

Nope, they were terrible, even worse.

I disagree, though I never use the saucer configuration. The raised d-pad made a huge difference.

For fighting games it was utter crap.

And more fragile than original sucky d-pad.

How so? I've had no problem with mine at all.

My Gears 3 Dpad broke, and is malfunctioning, and from a video game store they have several returns of transforming d-pads controllers.

From one friend "I had to return 3 controllers in the first couple of days until I got this one that so far is lasting more than a month."

I'm pretty sure the solution is to just not play fighting games.

^sure

I have to agree with FOKEN, The actuation point is too large and i've had 7 snap whilst playing.

i found the chrome D pads to be the worse of the lot.

I just want the new Xbox to be faster on XBL and not make a noise like a washing machine whenever I put a disc in (and yes I have a new slim and it's as noisy as ever).

My slim is quiet as a purring cat. Try removing yours from atop your washing machine.

Giant enemy crab?

XD I won't forget that game.

The new Xbox is already outdated as it will not support ULTRA HD TV'S.... unless they add a patch to upconvert.....which is still a fail anyway.

Ultra HD TV's? ... i have no idea what they even are? I like to think i'm generally ontop of technology as well, clearly i'm not. Regardless, seem pointless.

Until ultra he is more commonplace ita wasted resources

in 3-4 years Ultra will outnumber normal HDTV....and the Xbox one will have 5-7 years left.....hence my point.
