Anyone else anticipating the new XBOX reveal tomorrow?

[Rami]

They are overdoing it. I just want the realistic gaming experience or VR. Instead they build this One World Devil machine

I wonder how much DARPA/CIA had to black budget pay Microsoft for unmitigated back end access?

Now they will research their lab rats even more intensely.

[Grape Ape]

The Kinect thing was a general response not so much directed at you, GrapeApe, no worries though.

I'm pretty excited for Sony and Microsoft's E3 circus, should be fun. If both are priced right I will probably pick up both.

Both consoles are certainly taking 2 differing approaches to the living room, though.

Agreed.  I picked up both last time, but ended up selling the PS3 after finishing MGS4 and God of War 3, and getting another XBox.  I'll keep an open mind this time and probably do the same again.  Visually, I was hoping for something a little more funky thank the big rectangle.

Did they mention price for this?  I was guessing it would be in the $400 range, but didn't see anything.  Did they mention versions, or will there be only one?

[Army of One]

I think Valve`s Steambox might be something worth looking into.

Lol, just build your own, I built something identical a few days ago

[Parker]

Microsoft will never be able to shake Apple, whether it be lurking in the shadows...

I feel OK with the design, they had to design something that would not look totally out of place in an entertainment center, could have proper venting in a confined space and could stack well with other things. After the previous PS3 design and the 360....I'm ok with this, looks mature and solid. Love the USB 3.0 ports as well, I'm hoping MS doesn't be a bunch of cock suckers and only allow propriety HD's to be used with the Xbox One....they probably will, though.

Propriety HDs are a lock, I would think.

Wonder if they'll ever turn it into a Tivo.

[BIG ACH]

I will be purchasing the new Xbox One


Even with no backwards compatibility and the whole used games issue, I don't care, just take my money Microsoft! 

[Steelrabbitt]

Thank god they kept the controller relatively the same. I sold my Ps3 because i hated the controller.
Day 1 buy for me.

[240 is Back]

Hopefully you get to play that new Call of Duty from the Dog`s perspective.  That would be the greatest game ever if it was also narrated from the Dog`s point of view.

dog with a blog.

[240 is Back]

Goldeneye was a awesome game, awesome leveldesign for both multiplayer and single.. ah the memories...

one day, i hope to battle you in a PS4 version of the game.   I call "Odd Job"!

[NarcissisticDeity]

lol Xbox

I love how one of the selling points is internet explorer

My favorite part was, "And with the new AI, the fish swim away when you move towards them."

[King Shizzo]

Does it have to be online all the time now?

[The True Adonis]

Does it have to be online all the time now?

No.

[GigantorX]

Does it have to be online all the time now?

No.

It seems to me that it will work much like Steam, in the respect.

Validation and then you can play off line.

All of the subsequent remakes of Goldeneye have failed.

great reveal, bunch of stuff no one gives a shit about

and lol @ grape ape saying the ps3 was a disaster... it's probably outsold the 360 at this point, and if not, is quite close.

so far the single biggest piece of news that i've heard is ps4 is going to use x86 architecture, no more cell bullshit.  i think sony learned a lot from last gen, and are eager to reclaim the first place spot.

if anything, i predict the race will be quite even, again, this round, between the xbox one (retarded name, btw) and ps4.

nintendo has COMPLETELY lost the plot with their wiiu bullshit.  i sincerely hope they drop out of the console race this generation, and team up with sony, MS, or both very soon.

Both sold about 77 million consoles , ironic Xbox 360 tried hard to be the PS3 with all the features when they ' updated ' it , the only real advantage Xbox had was Live

PS4 seems to be more interesting especially with no load times and the ability to play demos before they are downloaded

In the end Xbox owners will by the One and The Sony owners will buy the PS4 , although Microsoft is gonna turn off a LOT of loyal customers with this used game bullshit

[deadpan]

i hate the Shitbox. singlehandedly ruined a whole generation of gaming. i'm only 25 but i remember the day when games were actually GOOD and developers put effort into making them unique, fun and original instead of just throwing together some half-assed POS and with shiny graphics and an expensive ad campaign in the hopes of appealing to a bunch of knuckle-dragging teens.

Who said anything about sales, let alone their comparison to other consoles as the measurement for disaster?

Either way, they sold about the same, but Microsoft did it in two markets, to Sony's three.

the point is, it wasn't a disaster.

rocky start, but did fine in the end.  and now it looks like the pendulum is swinging back sony's direction...

So you're of the belief that the PS3 had a positive impact on Sony?
