Between this and Windows 8, Microsoft is really starting to suck out loud. I wonder how long I can get by on Windows 7 and an Xbox 360...

Screw that. Theyre already destroying pc gaming with that shit.

You what. If gaming companies want 24/7 connectivity then fine. They can pay my internet bill then.

I dont really see the issue with 24/7 Connectivity. If you have internet what does it matter?

Blah Blah Blah...You not buying it won't hurt there wallets any.

Funny thing about the GIF...Half of the shit isn't even Officially Known yet. It's all speculation.

I live in a small town now. Its either shitty dsl or nothing. Id rather have nothing.

Having to connect for SP games is irritating.

I'm not even the least bit a hardcore gamer, but this dude is 100% right. Microsoft/Xbox is about to dig their own grave with this festering pile of doo doo. Who doesn't already have a Blu-ray player? Smart tv's have flooded the market (not that I have one tho). They say that they made something more suitable for more people than hardcore gamers.... this is a fucking GAMING CONSOLE. It's supposed to be for GAMING. Not the other internet bullshit that bogs down the system. If I want the internet, I have a desktop, laptop, and smartphone. I don't need my GAMING CONSOLE to do that.

Pisses me off. I'm glad I decided the 360 would be my last console, or else I would be running with my money to Sony.

Gaming consoles aren't used much for gaming. Almost 50 million people have a 360, a game is success if 2 million people buy it.

Sony and Microsoft realize they can't just sell hardcore gaming devices anymore. They have to appeal to the whole family especially with the price tags they now want for them.

To some extent I agree. The PS3 was released a year after the XBox 360 and had a significantly higher price. I think a lot of the reason PS3 sales can be viewed as a success despite these limitations is because it came with a BluRay drive and HDMI output, not purely gaming related.

PS3 was also before Smart TV's became popular, and bluray players became cheap(er)
