[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Sorry, but it's still not bringing up any results. Are you sure it was Phil Harrison? I'm seeing that somebody named Jensen Harris was one of the top members of the Windows 8 team, which seems more likely to be your person of ire than somebody from the Xbox team.[/QUOTE]

Give it up, man. Timbo doesn't "google reads news lol he is it job".
 
[quote name='phantomfriar2002']The big thing I take away from this "reveal" is that the real, pressing questions people want answers to weren't even touched upon in their press conference. They spent an hour on mostly useless apps a large part of the gaming public could care less about, but no time on talking about used games, pricing, etc etc. Here we are pages in, and still having to rely on various reports, PR spin and information less than concrete. That's a total fail -- and MS is getting killed all over the net, as well they ought to be, for their (apparent) stance on the issue and lack of clarity on top of it.[/QUOTE]

are you shocked both microsoft and sony are heading to more entertainnment on their systems then anything. both are fighting to have THEIR system be the only thing you use in your main viewing room.

[quote name='Blaster man']So what I'm reading is "we haven't decided but it's definitely on the table!". That's reassuring.

It's amazing. They seriously don't know? Or are they still floating this stuff out there to get a reaction? Or are they THAT clueless to have various MS employees saying different things to different outlets today?

Mind boggling.

that polygon website has alot of great info i have not seen looks like the 500 gb hd can not be removed BUT 3.0 allows for exteranal hard drives
 
TouchTheRobotButt @ModronFixer
@XboxSupport So there is no fee for Used Games then? Can you tell us what exactly they got wrong? Because otherwise you could be saving face
Xbox Support 3 @XboxSupport3

@ModronFixer No fee, correct - and they just got that information wrong. As soon as we saw, we contacted them to correct it. ^EM

how can a company like microsoft be this bad. this remindes me of the issue last couple days going on with madden 25 edition each EA employee was saying dif things. it just puzzles me how these bigger companys run their company. i swear we have seen five diff answers to this
 
So...why are the USB ports only on the back? It seems like a terrible thing for things like Fight Sticks, Flash Drives and the like.
 
[quote name='bigdaddybruce44']You know that your press conference failed when the competitor's stock goes up right after...[/QUOTE]

but when sony is taking 30 mins to explain their os and entertainment stuff at e3 people will be crying but microsoft already said e3 conf will be all about games for 360 and x1
 
I liked this in the comments section of the polygon article I linked.

Harrison opened his mouth and now looks like he is in total backpedaling mode. Wonder if the reaction they're getting slammed with has something to do with it?

Check out Major Nelson's blog and the comments which have universally trashed him and MS...it's not pretty.

Could be they're listening? We can only hope

my guess that will go down during sony e3 press conf when thye spend 40 mins talking about entertainment and os system and not games when microsofts will all be about games.
 
I love how Timbo is backpedaling or taking a more neutral stance. Also how he is grouping sony along with ms in whatever he mentions generally.

i don't care for the reveal all that much. It's all the shit that came after it.

So in other words, you have been defending Microsoft with bullshit claims you couldnt back other than rumors (ironically), called out on it and being wrong, and Im sure youll still say how the VP has no idea what he is talking about.

Im calling bs on you and your so so called "job". Nobody could have facts as wrong as you, misread/misinterpret as much as you, and be as grammatically impaired as you and still be employed.

If you do have a job, it must be for Microsoft, because obviously they dont pay attention to what the fuck their employees know ot are saying unless it comes back to bite them in the ass.

plz explain how im back tracking i never once said i supported a fee to play a game on another system if you have the phisical disk that is awful thing to do. plz wish man explain it all

because people act like sony is not going to do the same exact thing. if companys want microsoft to do it they will want sony as well
 
I'm sure most here agree with me. I don't give two shits what their plans ARE right now. So long as they don't go through with this then they've got a good chance of selling me a console.

Selling Xbox games at Walmart isn't the same as actually working for Microsoft.
 
I see the huge problem with people here is used games.

Personally I don't buy used games and rarely borrow, so it's not a big deal to me. But I can understand the frustration.

But this is the future, you won't be able to play the 360 forever. I am curious to see what a company like Gamefly does about this though.


I also don't know if this has been brought up because this thread is huge, but my biggest concern is that the 360 suffered such problems out of the gate with overheating and the RROD. Yet they give us a console that they basically want you to have on at all times, even when watching TV. Scary stuff to me.
 
i guess personal attacks on this webiste is fine in the mind of mods on this site

we are having a legit discussion about game systems why must personal attacks get involved

to be the biggest issue is that this thing will not even turn on with out kinect being connected. so this means every time i want to bring this some place i have to have kinect with.

My main concern is that MS is gonna bully this thing into the norm by buying devs off or absorbing the companies. 3rd party devs are gonna see the potential cash in to and console gaming is going to be fucked. There will be a backlash and if policies don't change, there will be a crash

You bring your Xbox places to play it? I've never done that.

Granted, I'm 33 and everyone I know has one so I don't need to, but I didn't even do that when I was the first one with a PS2 or the only person with a Turbo Graphics 16.

I guess I'm just a different consumer. I love easy integration, I'm an early adopter, and I buy games new (though I buy 2 full price games a year, others when they hit sale prices)

I really look forward to this console. Haven't bought one on launch since I waited 6 hours in line for the PS2.

They don't have to bully the devs. The devs want this. It's the consumers that it fucks.

it was more like selling computer products to companys around mid west
