people that do this would be frustrating. Also the backwards compatibility is disappointing but it is understandable because of the processing tech as they mentioned

And lets not forget the changing achievements lists, for the completionests out there this could be very annoying trying to keep up.

But there is a lot of good points for me to many to list main ones being all the new IP's and the specs of the machine make for a powerful gaming platform.

I think it is way to early for people to dump the xbox already after the first conference we have to remember that it was aimed at the majority not just the hardcore

gamers. I say lets wait for E3 before we make our minds up

The used game thing doesn't bother me yet, it really depends on how much they charge to be able to install the game on a new console that will make the difference.

E3 will reveal new games only whats the point of it?

I agree, I am not sold on it yet, but at the very least I am not passing on a day one purchase based solely on a single hour worth of a press conference.

And we have, what, a look/design, system specs, and maybe 8-9 games? Not enough info to make a secure judgement.

Do you want us to sit and just let Ms give through its shit on us? all they want is to cover every part of entertainment! I would say they should leave the xbox as

gaming console and leave other companies work on their on field

XboX=Gaming when I tell my friends or my mum am sitting on the xbox they always knew that am gaming so yeah

Plus the one use code thing has been around for years now for PC gamers and I don't here the them complaining

Can someone link me to any info regarding achievements next gen?

Also you will probably find that Sony will go down the same path with this only they haven't mentioned it yet as it would be a huge mistake for Microsoft business wise

if Sony does not

Because most of the features i'll not be able to use because australia doesn't have the best internet speeds

It is nice to actually hear someone with a positive take on the new system. I am getting really tired of the "new Xbox is garbage" without seeing at least a minor bit of

positive out of the whole thing. It is going to play games AT THE VERY LEAST and at the end of the day that is all we, at least I, really want out of it.

Hope they ditch them XxD

I'm with you matt, don't see anything to hate on the new Xbox at this stage, just some minor inconveniences.

Hopefully better power in the system will simply mean better games.

If the show gameplay for BF4 at e3 for the xbox one and i mean the xbox one not PC, and then compare it to xbox 360 i may buy it or wait too 2016

Yep I totally agree, I think the positives massively outweigh the negatives, especially those graphics!

EHhh... graphics can't compare to PC never have never will nothing to go with there whether it is something that can withstand a few years is the question.

Yeah I agree, I think people are getting worked up over a few annoyances. I not sold yet, I'm with holding judgement until E3 but nothing I've seen has me ready to give

up consoles like some people are saying. PC's have had a single use code for years, no trade ins or rentals, it's called a serial number. Let's see what E3 brings.

Plenty of games can be played and shared and steam has offline mode for sharing. Also plenty of their games are cheap as chips plus plenty of freebies.

Personally, I feel like a tool talking out loud to my console to make it do things. I'm sure there are lots of good things to be announced in the near future.

haha true that poopy

I dont know what the problem is, of course MS is going to try and broaden it's demographic from just gamers to making it a household entertainment device.

They have practically zero competition.

Never been big into competitive multiplayer, which is probably the reason I don't buy CoD new

I got WaW as a present, only one I've bought myself is BO2. Fun game :)

A little disappointed with Xbox One... I've found that its multimedia services are too US-centric (no offence :D).

^Legit concern. I'm the only gamer in a family of 4, your question never occurred to me!

I mean I do buy multiple copies of co-op games (Borderlands/Dead Island, etc), but if I buy TES VI: Skyblivion and my wife has to pay to unlock it too...dealbreaker

Unless they bring back the "Family Plan" and allow people within your plan to play those games, that could work - but again, it's all rumor as of now.

Or the same setup as it is with Arcade titles now. If you're on my system then you can play the full game as long as my GT is on it as well.

lol...as you can see, this has me a little worried

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/408116/microsoft-xbox-one-pre-owned-plans-consistent-with-way-the-world-works/

Which if I'm understanding that article correctly, that's exactly what it'll be like.

If I had to re-buy every game my kids want to play THAT I ALREADY OWN, that would just be wrong.

I agree, as I said though - it's just rumor. Hopefully Microsoft with elaborate more in the coming weeks or at E3.

They had a link you could follow on the front page to a Microsoft Q&A, but I'm not encouraged. Why does everything have to be so connected? I don't like it.

That was my worry too :(

Yep I don't agree either. We'll just have to wait and see how things really turn out.

I think if the article just posted on TA is any indication then the digital only media rumor is wrong. If games are able to be resold, then how would they be digital?

This smells like a money grabbing scheme to me.

Smells like every digital distribution platform out there today (Steam, iPhone, android, Windows Phone, XBLA, etc.)

I also agree with the concern (I have 4 gamers & 4 consoles in my house...I'm not buying 4 of everything)

That's why EA dropped their online pass policy like 3 days ago

As a friend, I tell you to not to watch it, it will destroy any hope you have of having an awesome Xbox console.

Wait for E3 possibly...this was more of just an entertainment reveal imo.

There is an awesome Xbox console - its called the 360......... the problem its offspring has been breed with an old cable TV receiver

Seriously read the article link i posted - its offical, they have boned this well and proper....... hell Devo is pricing up gaming PCs right now

I saw, I can't stop laughing at that, he was one who was hell into getting the next xbox.

Yep. I'm out. It'll be super sad to leave all you guys behind, but i'll make sure everyone knows my Steam tag before I say my final goodbyes.

I'll be hoping to see you on Steam at some point in the future.

Yeah I may pass it looks like us Aussies get screwed heavily and no chance that gaming will survive here. Aint watching reveal til later

I'll try to get on Steam.

But that's the thing, the Xbox was targeted at Americans and English mostly.

Yeah, mostly Americans. Sigh. Oh well, i'm getting quite excited about PC gaming right now. ARMA III, Total War, Day Z plus many, many more.

FYI everyone - Devo's steam tag is "Devo AUS X1"

fuck a lot of unhappy people. Im on steam anyways Devo and fuck yes to Arma 3

Whats wrong with the new xbox? i didnt see anything that turns me away from gaming, sure there was a bunch of tv stuff i dont care about.......

but they did mentiona bunch of new Ip's. just wait until e3 to hear more about games.

I know what you mean, my console gaming experience might be over.

Yeah, well lets put it this way, I am currently investing serious personal time into researching the PC market now.

*Keeps nudging Devo in the PC direction* hardly feel like knocking out achievements at the moment.... just ain't feeling invested in the Xbox TV & Sport system anymore

Why don't you guys get a PS4?

Mitchelle - because if I am going to make the change, and go through all of that effort, I might as well make the change significant. I used to be into PC gaming...

...and I have been becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of good titles that stretch across a plethora of genres in the console space. I'm looking forward to...

...returning to games like Total War and others while exploring Genres I haven't got a lot of experience with "i.e. - free-to-play, MMO's, etc"

Fair enough, I might just give entirely because I sure do need some new hobbies.

I know you didn't ask for my advice Mitchell, but if you love gaming, don't give it up. Just reassess how you approach it.

I agree with Dev Mitch, put aside your disappointment about the loss of GS & completed games and move on
