Instead of, you know, allowing backward compatibility? That's retarded.

So...instead of enabling the people who have a 360 & games. Let's pack in a 360 into xbox one and drive up the price of every single console. ggwp

It would cut down on entertainment center real estate (and presumably make booting up a 360 game significantly faster, I can't imagine you can skip the wonderful 360 startup time without some form of backward compatibility on the new console).

Furthermore, I can't find any place that says if the console will have more than one (heh) HDMI-in, so you'd be losing a lot of the TV functionality they touted as the way of the future. I don't know for sure though. I don't know how the system works (and frankly, I'm not too interested in finding out).

I really want to pre-order a PS4, but I'm entering a nebulous money state.

Really, though. I haven't been this giddy about video games since PS1/2.

Neh. Neh, this shit ain't cool.

I like video games. And, shit do I like Halo. I like The Halo and his pretty blue Girlfrayund. But neh. I don't have cable TV, I go on a healthy amount of travelling to the point where I am, quite often, in places without internet for more than 24 hours, and I sure as shit don't want a Kinect 2. I'd rather go without games for a generation -- I have quite an extensive backlog, and an enjoyment of previously-played games (AND GAMES I CAN BORROW FROM MY FRIENDS. NOT FOREVER. NOT FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR WHIST OFFLINE mostly) to the point where a console can safely ruin (or at least leave a foul taste in my mouth, and turn my stomach) a generation for me.

I have a strong tendency to not buy things that I don't want. And I sure as shit don't want the XBox One. No matter the games, no matter the perks and benefits. Even if they throw in a really nice, tasteful handy, I'll pass.

Used to drink IPAs like crazy, but I think I partied myself out a few too many times on it. The bitterness now makes my stomach turn, and removes any desire for beer for the rest of the night. Otherwise, I like New Glarius beers. Fat Squirrel, Spotted Cow, and if I'm feeling like losing my money, Apple Ale and their various Strawberry/Cherry champagne beers.

In terms of cocktails and mixers, can't go wrong with a screwdriver, of course. I'm also a fan of white russians - but they give me a special kind of hangover. Like a sugar hangover. I feel like I have the energy to run at the speed of light, but I just kinda want to lay down and die. Been getting into gin and tonics with lime, when out at the bar. Gin and I have a history though, so we're taking things slow; respecting each boundaries.

Xbone, definitely! I don't see it as a disparaging name, just a really smart way of fiddling with acronyms. Also, shrinking down three letters into two syllables? Nice.

XBone is pretty dang easy to say. Two syllables. Clever wordplay that doesn't do any bit of stretching. The connotations are a bonus!

That's just straight silly.

What're we gonna do, hurt its feelings?

I reluctantly withdraw my question. I must have confused Ryan with Verlon "Will" Smith.

I would damn you and force you to rue the day you would dare associate Ryan, or anyone who walks in the light, with "jif". But you're already a heretic!

HERETIC!
