So the SeXbox basically.

I don't think I've ever lost internet for any time that wasn't either less than 5 minutes or more than two days. They really need some clarification out on this. If it's really every day, that's some hot bullshit that is totally ignoring the problem with always online. It's not the idea that we'll lose access for a couple of hours, or minutes. It's that we'll lose access for like, two weeks when comcast maintenance fucks all the internet in your neighborhood.

You aren't paying for it. You're basically complaining that you won't be lucky enough to mooch off of others.

I'd rather have the ability to install a game and say "fuck it, don't need this any more" and throw the disc away and have games installed to the system that don't need to spin up a disc than have the ability to pay $5 less than retail for a game.

I'm curious how it'll work if you want to bring the game over to a friend's have they said if it'll be console locked, or account locked? Account locked is fine, because you'll just need to sign in to play it on their console.

I've got something to say, not only to the staff, but anyone who echoed their sentiment about the tone and nature of the Xbox One reveal.

If you can't open your fucking eyes and realize that this Xbox Reveal event isn't going to focus entirely on games, because it's a televised event announcing the next in a line of entertainment devices, you don't get to bitch about the word "gamer." If all you can do is bitch because all you care about are the games? You're a fucking gamer. And you're also thick as all fucking hell. No shit this is a bunch of vagueness and covers the entertainment aspects of the Xbox. This isn't E3, and it's not an event being live streamed for the purpose of pleasing gamers.

As someone who does something other than gaming to entertain myself, the non-gaming features of the console look pretty neat. Considering how totally shit the TV guide is from the people who ONLY DO TV, anything would be better.

Gamers need to stop bitching about the term gamer when any time anyone presents anything but video games. Because that's what makes you a fucking gamer you twat. You want something that does nothing but play games? Get a fucking SNES.

My problem with this blatant whining isn't the cynicism. That's a bit annoying, but to be expected. It's more that how fucking stupid do you have to be to expect this to be any different?

These complaints were pretty valid during the infamous E3 Microsoft press event. They are not fucking valid when we are talking about a public, televised event that is announcing an entertainment device. This is not a gaming device. It's not a 3DS, it's not a SNES, it's designed to be more. I do more than just play games to entertain myself. And the non-video game stuff they showed, if it's even close to genuine, looked pretty good.

You're a fucking gamer if all you have to say is "Wahhhhh, show me nothing but video games!"

Wait for E3. I'm sure we'll get the games we want, one way or another.

Between Facebook, the GB staff's commentary, and at least one thread I've seen on the forums, I'm a little tired of you fucking people. Just admit it. You're gamers. That's okay! Just stop acting like Microsoft has failed because they showed stuff that doesn't appeal to you.

Personally, I'm happy with the Xbox One stuff. It's a sharp looking device, the features sound cool, neat, and in some cases even awesome. I'm excited to see the game stuff, and to see the upcoming panel that will go into details on the hardware itself. I'm okay with a televised event intended for the masses, because the Xbox isn't a niche product. If you expected it to be specific, particular, and focused on hardcore gaming, you're a fool. A fucking fool, who hasn't learned anything from the way MS does things and has been doing things for a long time.

Just calm the hell down, and be patient. We saw a few neat things, and in 19 days, we'll get the stuff you really want: video games.

PS: For those bitching, watch the technical panel coming up here in the next half an hour. Should be interesting!

People are weird. They'll talk about Kotaku being the scum of the earth right up until something gets just the right kind of momentum, and then suddenly trust them implicitly on the matter. Maybe this'll convert everyone, maybe it'll just piss em off, or maybe no one will even watch the video or notice or care. It's hard to know. Hopefully the studio ends up finding some success. The stuff they are working on certainly seems interesting.

Phew, you're really asking for it duder. Just sayin'. I am interested to see what the dude has to say. Not sure it'll convince anyone, but best of luck to him and his coworkers.

That just means Dr Pepper is for people who drink on the edge.

In before people voting who've never used Windows 8 for more than half a second, let alone without any sort of predisposed notion that it's shit.

Windows 8 is just better. Everything is the same or better. Start menu? Never needed it, and easy to replace. It's snappier, looks better, and has a lot of really useful extra features. It's also cheaper. Metro? I never see it, never need to, except in a few cases where I don't mind, like charms. I actually think the new "start" "menu" is slightly more functional than the old one.

That sounds more like drivers than the OS.

I don't even know what to say. If they've seen the fucking video, just tell people that. Hell, report it to the police, inform the police who has the video, and done. Don't ask for public money to put money into a violent criminal organization just to out some dumb politician for doing cocaine, just so you can get the exclusive on the story.

I mean, Gawker is already basically already a pool of human waste masquerading as actual people already, but man, this is realllll stupid/fucked up.

Maybe it's that I spent the last 4 hours working on an ambush mission in ArmA, but "Xbox Now!" just makes me think of some spec ops dudes sitting in a jungle watching a road, and then as a few military style jeeps roll along the road, one of them looks over and whispers loudly, "Xbox, Now!" and you just see a little pulse of light from the Xbox's power LED and the whole road erupts into flames as several explosive charges are detonated.

I also don't buy this.
