Next Gen Xbox Reveal Confirmed for May 21

[ssjjfar]

I can honestly say I've never used the 360's backwards compatiblity

I'm a playstation user myself. But orginal xbox didn't have anything I really liked, with the exception of Halo 1/2 and Shenmue.

360 actually had a lot of good games so I can imagine a lot more people wanting to use that.

PS2 had a lot of great games and a huge library, the backwards compatibility was one of the reasons PS3 was so expensive, since they needed a seperate engine just to play ps2 games. It got cheaper as production got cheaper, and they switched to emulation backward compatibility only(which limited which titles worked), and then they removed it all together.

It looks like PS4 and XboxOne are taking out backward compatibility within hardware to help lower costs, but looks like we will at least have streaming backward compatibility which will require internet connection. Both companies are gonna try to avoid PS3s launch mistakes this time around I'm sure.

Wii U looks like it will be going under the radar like gamecube did. lol

can't get over how big the console and camera  is 

 

[chancedprep]

that isn't MS fault, it's yours.  I got banned for playing burned games after about a year too, but I couldn't be mad because I knew the risks

these console threads are like Jay Z v. Nas, Tupac v. Biggie threads 

Your right but I believe once I purchase a product from a company I should be free to do any damn thing I want with it. Specially when it comes to a Xbox . It's not like the losing out on money I pay that Xbox live gold membership every years. I buy Microsoft points.

 

[RustyShackleford]

If you own a 360, why would you be so salty about no backwards compatibility?

dat 40nm and hdmi in

 

[putting in work]

Aren't all of the old Xbox and Playstation games available to download on the new systems for like $2-$5?

I've never looked into it, but I wanted a PS3 since I had so many games for PS2 but then I never ended up getting one.

I'm already inclined to get the NextBox from M$, but now with this no used game thing I might have to see what Sony is offereing even though I have a horrible track record with Sony and their hardware issues.

God I wish I can play Zelda on whatever console I decide to purchase... not getting the Wii thing either.

 

[Nujavez]

^ yeah i never played my OG xbox games on xbox 360. Except for Halo 2

I own PS3, rarely played any 360 games, but several I would be interested in. It would be a selling point if I were to consider a One. I hardly play many games at all nowadays, so I doubt I will get either at launch.

Only one Gamertag per disc? Forget that. 

 

[thehealthinspector]

You can play online but to be safe and not get banned its better to play offline

Xbox One: live TV available in US only at launch, requires separate device

Xbox One’s live TV fucntionality will only be available in the US at launch, a press release from Microsoft has confirmed.

In a release sent to VG247 this evening confirms that Live TV with Kinect navigation, Live TV with One Guide, Trending, and NFL on Xbox will only be available in North America at launch. The release added that Microsoft anticipates a global roll-out over time.

As shown in the Microsoft reveal stream, and confirmed in the release, “Live TV will require a supported receiver device with HDMI output,” which is sold separately.

What do you make of the above then?

Like I said, Dual GPU's

Now let the speculation for the games shown at E3 begin.

I'm moving myself over to the PS3/4 thread now.

Piracy is illegal.

Yeah, I suppose that's where PSN/Live comes in. They'll probably put the more popular titles on there for you to DL.

Piracy is illegal.

So if I but a computer, I should legally be able to torrent movies/games?

Are you serious? Your illegal activities put Microsoft at risk of getting sued from other companies so why would they let you do that? When you purchase a car can you run it at 120 down the highway without reaping the consequences just because you own the car? SMH at that mentality. 

And I just read all the comments above me saying the same thing so clearly your judgement is faulty.

Nah, only for Xbox he says.

This but I can understand with people wanting to trade in consoles that can't afford the new one.

 

[chancedprep]

yeah

Well you would have needed a cable subscription anyway and typically that means you already have the cable box.

I don't know where the idea that the One was going to be a cable box in itself came from.

How did you get that from what I said?
