Title: MR. XBONE'S WILD RIDE (XBOX ONE THREAD)

I didn't think it was possible to have a more dumb name than Wii U but here I stand corrected. (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-revealed/)

As has been suspected for some time now, used games on XBOX One require paying a fee to Microsoft. (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/407912/microsoft-confirms-pre-owned-fee-for-xbox-one/)

But wait there's more, XBOX One will not function without a Kinect. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-will-not-function-without-kinect-attached)

Also as expected that whole one use CD thing means it requires an internet connection to verify them, (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/21/microsoft-xbox-one-isnt-always-online-but-requires-internet-c/) but after doing so you don't need it to play it. Or that's what the guy supposedly said before the interview in question was taken down.

About that used game "fee", (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/you-will-be-able-to-trade-xbox-one-games-online-micros-509140825)

QuoteBut what if you want to bring a game disc to a friend's house and play there? You'll have to pay a fee—and not just some sort of activation fee, but the actual price of that game—in order to use a game's code on a friend's account. Think of it like a new game, Harrison said.

"The bits that are on that disc, you can give it to your friend and they can install it on an Xbox One," he said. "They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through Xbox Live."

"They would be paying the same price we paid, or less?" we asked.

"Let's assume it's a new game, so the answer is yes, it will be the same price," Harrison said.

It also requires logging in once per day. (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/xbox-one-does-require-internet-connection-cant-play-o-509164109)

I'll just say that 360 Kinect users (https://twitter.com/diskopo/statuses/336890602912350209) had trouble watching (https://twitter.com/KatGoodman7/statuses/336893939942567937) the livestream because (https://twitter.com/VGMasterD/statuses/336916180629594113) the Kinect actually (https://twitter.com/DFishDesign/statuses/336897295830360064) listened to what (https://twitter.com/blueamcat/statuses/336898159693422594) was said on the livestream. (https://twitter.com/ListenChump/statuses/336893672589258752)

Add to Kinect being pretty much mandatory for Xbox One aaaaaand..... well, suffice to say, griefers (and Hideo Kojima) are so going to have a field day with this.

Actually you can turn the Kinect off now so it seems (http://corrupt, adulterating shitbags.com/xbox-one-kinect-privacy-concerns-turn-it-off-511759241). Given that is the exact opposite of everything said about it during the past few weeks this was probably a last minute change.

Still can't physically disconnect it from the XBOX One though so that image is still correct.

By the way Microsoft is now cancelling certain post E3 one on one interviews in addition to their post conference Q&A. (http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/15240/article/microsoft-cancelling-one-on-one-interviews-with-xbox-executives-at-e3/) This is becoming the business world equivalent of shoving fingers in your ears and screaming LALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALA.

Holy shit, according to this Micro$oft is apparently paying publishers to show only games on the Xbox One at E3. If this is true then I have no fucking words.

They're also apparently paying people to make positive posts about the XBOX One on Reddit and manipulate the ratings of comments about the console to be in their favor. (http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-positive-reddit-comments-2013-6)

As an only tangentially related aside, the PRISM (http://gizmodo.com/what-is-prism-511875267) leak has put Microsoft's "we'd never give up your private information" claims about the Kinect yesterday a little harder to believe.

Short of Microsoft literally straight up killing a dude during their conference next week I don't think they can get any worse PR than this.

Not only will the Xbone work ony in certain countries at launch (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/pre-order-xbox-one/disclaimer), it will also require a 1.5 mbps download speed to function (http://www.examiner.com/article/xbox-one-has-a-1-5mbps-download-speed-internet-requirement?t=1)

Pretty soon, we're going to start using some of these words in everyday speech.

For instance,
"I made a 60 on the first exam and a 12 on the second... Even if I made a 100 on the final, I'm xboned."

"She won't listen to criticism, and she insists that her work is without flaws, despite how literally everyone around her keeps pointing out that she can't get the most basic stuff correct. She's pretty much Microsoft."



Come to think of it, an alternative (and honestly, more fitting) pronunciation for XBONE could be, "crossbones."

And now they're saying they're doing away with the (majority of) unpopular stuff. (http://news.xbox.com/2013/05/qa)

I still say don't buy into it; all that would do is tell them it's OK to make bad decisions and then try to win us back at the last minute. They had their chance and for me, they blew it.

Remember, it was their idea to do all this in the first place. They could just be trying to lure you in and then ease back into their plans by gradually changing the ToS.

Not to mention it's still a hundred dollars more than the competition.

There's an analogy somewhere here about New Coke but I'm too lazy to make it.

Not really, Coke at least quickly retracted New Coke upon grievances by the consuming public, and they even gave my mother a case of old Coke when she wrote a letter to them saying how awful New Coke was.


I don't see Microsoft being anywhere near as nice.
