it will not be $700. PS3 was rumored to be $800 and it wasn't near that

some cheese dicks always start up these price rumors every release

It seams like the Xbox One is just an Xbox 360 but with a new console.

Really disappointing news.

Shitty CPU with an excessive number of slow cores. No backwards compatibility. Forced Kinect bundling.

Amazingly, the managed to make the new xbox worse than the 360.

@ the "excessive number of slow cores" They can't be clocked at like 4 gigahertz, the whole system is under like 100w power consumption. 8 cores at 1.6ghz is going to be more power conservative, and hopefully when game devs optomise them to use all 8 cores, it will be kickass performance. Plus most of the strain is on the GPU anyways. The Ps4 looks most promising with 8gb GDDR5 shared pool of memory for the apu and a more powerful gpu alone (around 7870). I'd still much rather just build a PC for that price, much more versatile (and probably more powerful as well).

It's a great name from a marketing standpoint...they are pushing it as your "ONE" source for entertainment.

and everyone thought the "360" was stupid at first but it just grew on us....I still just call it an xbox anyways.


I'm excited, hoping this will be the end of cable tv and having to pay for a shit load of channels i don't watch just to see the handful I do watch.

One down side is that PS4 and Xbox one will require you to download the game to the hard drive in order to play it....this will basically eliminate used games as you will only be able to download it to one hard drive....or if you buy it used pay a fee that basically after the cost of the used game and the small fee would have been the same as if you bought it new.


Madden, Call of Duty Ghosts, Battlefield 4 and I believe GTA 5 will be released on the xbox one....I'm jacked.

You really thought it was going to have backwards compatibility?

They moved from RISC architecture to x86-64 architecture. Having backwards compatibility would've required them to stick with outdated/obselete hardware.

Fuck! So hard to decide whether to sell my 360 now, when I can still get a decent buck for it. Also bummed cause I have unreal controllers for it, plus an astro a50 gaming headset and all the call of duty games.

Help me decide NS, what to do.

I thought it would be a no brainer for the new systems to be able to hold more than one disc at once, guess i will have to wait another couple years, cause i think that would be cool.

my xbox was 10 feet away from me, and my brother slammed his bedroom door. I hear a horrible metallic sound, and now no more borderlands 2. Didn't even touch the damn thing.

No, retard, it would require virtualization which would be very easy to develop.

No, it wouldn't be easy to develop. The Xbox One runs on an x86 APU, both the CPU and GPU run off the same die and have a shared address space and shared memory architecture. Now if you were to develop a virtualized environment in which RISC architecture could run, it wouldn't be able to draw on the shared address space and shared memory architecture.

Install your new games to your hard disk right away. If they're installed, you can use a scratched disk to run them still

It's a good backup, but not foolproof. I had a couple games that were installed but still didn't run properly once scratched or whatever.

Yea, no guarantees. Try rubbing some Vaseline over the scratches, or getting the disc buffed for$2 at gamestop

If they did a re-release of halo 1&2, I would totally shell out the money to buy this.

if all of that stuff is true, then FUCK the xbox one. especially the part about the kinect always watching and listening. no video game console should be worth the hassle this thing will cause.

Halo 2 is up there with "greatest game ever created." Only rivals are Goldeneye for N64 and COD4 for the 360.

ps3 was pretty close, $659cdn for the 80gb (had backwards compatibility) and $549cdn for the 60gb (no backwards compatibility) and add an hdmi cable and a second controller and youre getting pretty close to $800 without even buying any games yet.


that being said, i would drop another 800 on that ps3 if i had to go back and do it again, and i will be buying a ps4 when they are released.

definitely, they were losing money for every ps3 sold, part of the reason being their inclusion of the blu-ray player, cell microprocessor (from what i can remember, correct me if i am wrong, but that processor is/was pretty groundbreaking)
