Graphics look killer but other than that Im not impressed personally. Its looks like crap and "Xbox One"??!!?? Im so tired of the lack of imagination in the gadget world lately. I would have even gone with Xbox 3 over that crap.

I dig it!

I am super excited. I am however disappointed that there was no mention of actual bluetooth or blueray. How can you have a TV watching machine without those two things?

I want one. Ill agree on the look of the box but none of the new consoles have been good looking

They said it will have blu ray on the televised press release

The original Xbox debuted in the fall of 2005, which feels like a million years ago...even if it's only seven and a half.

Do these fuckers even bother with research, or do they just talk out of their ass? The original Xbox debuted in late 2001, not 2005.

Anyway, until I know for sure that used games will continue to be available without an "Unlock fee", I will not be buying any next gen consoles.

There are talks about a system being put in place where used games wouldn't work on any system except the one it was first used on. Video game companies lose a lot of money due to used games being sold and traded into places like Gamestop.

They have a right to the original purchase only. I don't see how they could retain ownership of the disk after it's purchased.

That's like having to pay Ford every time you sell a vehicle...

Yeah, the PS4 and the Xbox One are making it to where you can't just buy a used game and pop it in. In the Xbox's case, every game's serial number is going to be registered to Xbox Live, much like steam. It's still not for sure if they are going to let you unregister it and sell the game, if they do, they will likely force you to pay a fee to unlock it. That was the one advantage that consoles had over PC, the lack of a true DRM, but that is changing now.

That.

That is about retarded.

[Tx Redneck]

The unintended consequences of drm like that is rampant hacking and piracy.

that used game fee is BS. i have 2 xbox 360's and 1 copy of a game. my wife can watch t.v. and i can play the game in the other room. with the new systems, i can't, unless i pay a used game fee. sound's like Microsoft is being run by the US government and taxing the shit outta everything they can. this kills it for me getting a new system, im done.

Take another shot there sparky, it's not Microsoft that's losing out, it's the game makers and they are the ones complaining.
