Probably best to table all the hyperbole for another 2 weeks, see what they (both) show at e3.

It seems as if XBOX is going the route of social media which isn't a totally stupid move, but I don't think it's worth the risk, really. Perhaps they think they'll exceed the audience they'll lose with the social media crowd they'll gain? Maybe. |

No. I just think Sony wins if MS does that. Don't give a crap either way because I know which one I will buy when the time comes to upgrade.

Yep, we all knew whichever platform took on the used games lock, they'd lose sales. Now that it's a fee just to play it on a friend's machine... just dumb. I'm a PC gamer so it doesn't matter to me either, but it's fun to see the fanboys of both sides give their excuses and banter.

Every post you make is from some antiquated vision of what you think gaming machines should be which is fine but watching guys like you make predictions about how these products will 'take' moving forward is hilarious.

The fact that you always seem to care so much about my "antiquated" opinion on things cracks me up.

ya, if I buy another console it sure as hell ain't gonna be this spy machine.
http://www.reddit.com/tb/1f4tq6 This is not quite the Xbox One unveiling Microsoft had hoped for. Almost a week after the technology giant lifted the lid on Xbox One, the company has come under fire for "twisted" features that could potentially gather personal data to be sold to the highest bidder. The new device, which is expected to launch in Australia before Christmas, includes a Kinect motion camera that is able to track movement. Voice commands such as "Xbox on" can be used to control the console, suggesting the camera and microphone are constantly in standby mode. Tim Vines, director at Civil Liberties Australia, told GamesFIX that Microsoft has a lot to answer for with a product that has the ability to listen and watch everything a person does. "People should have the ability to turn off the camera or microphone, even if it limits the functionality of the machine," he said. Vines believes privacy is "all about control". "Of course, if Microsoft doesn't allow that (control), then people should vote with their wallets and skip the next Xbox." Vines says Microsoft should be upfront about what it does with data collected by Xbox One. "Microsoft's new Xbox meets the definition of a surveillance device under some Australian laws, so they need to be upfront and tell customers whether anyone else can intercept their information or remotely access their device," Vines said. This sentiment is being felt the world over, with Berlin's federal data protection commissioner, Peter Schaar, telling Spiegel Online that Xbox One is nothing more than a monitoring device under the guise of a gaming console. "The Xbox One continuously records all sorts of personal information about me. My reaction rates, my learning or emotional states. These are then processed on an external server, and possibly even passed on to third parties." Schaar believes this is a major breach of privacy. "The fact that Microsoft could potentially spy on my living room is merely a twisted nightmare." Microsoft aims to bring simplicity to the living room with Xbox One, which it calls a "powerful, all-in-one device of modern architecture." Just make sure you're not planning world domination in front of it. |

I'm not a big used game player, but it would be a big blow to MS if they tried to charge for them. But, I don't believe they are based on the article I posted above. |

It is all up in the air right now. But, based on the information so far, I will be going with the PS4 when my console dies. UNLESS they have the same limiting features, then I will just buy another PS3.

I wonder if Sony is going to destroy Microsoft at E3 also, and if they do, I wonder if it's going to pretty much guarantee that PS4 is THE console of this generation?
