He absolutely plays games, probably more than me, but he gravitates to older SNES and GBA stuff because he has great taste. Hopefully he masturbates a bit too. WTF, Brack, is this actually how you talk to people??? I doubt many of those kids are counting on "getting" a PS4 this year, but they are surely capable of knowing what they want, just as we all knew what we wanted. I'm leaning toward getting my son a Vita so he can remote play my PS4, but that's another thing entirely, and I don't think $200 is unreasonable for Xmas. I was making a crass point to point out how stupid a statement was. It'd be one thing if you said your kid was too busy with school or other activities to come to a conclusion that he's not informed, or whatever. $200 isn't unreasonable. Buying a PS4 for a kid isn't unreasonable either. Assuming they're getting a system is. Hoping to get a system isn't. I'm not saying it's an awful thing to say, but it's presumptous nonetheless, and kind of seems to be the norm in how kids think these days I suppose. |

WTF happened to this thread? I come here to get my daily fix of XBox :circlejerk: and to have chess post some snarky, mocking post against M$ or the XB1.. ;)

Re: Xbox One: The Only Choice for Rational Gamers
I was 15 once, and didn't like most 15 year olds then either because they are mostly thoughtless. I'm sure that hasn't changed much.

It's very different. That is past tense and clearly receiving a gift. Knowing you're getting something in the future is different and presumptuous.

Don't you think?

Re: The Ironically Thoughtless Xbox One Thread
I love how the "opposition" completely glossed over my point. I state again, why does Apple get a pass for announcing a new phone then having it on sale 2 weeks later, while Microsoft is "taking a beating" by not announcing a date for their new console that's still potentially 3 months away? It's a double standard and it is ridiculous.

Apple usually doesn't even acknowledge the existence of a phone or tablet until they are ready to announce a price and shipping date.

Re: The Ironically Thoughtless Xbox One Thread
Dude, everyone loves Apple. Except for everyone who hates Apple. But regardless, no one likes Microsoft. That's why.

Re: The Ironically Thoughtless Xbox One Thread
Because Apple throws their own conferences and don't have to play ball at E3 5-6 months before the goal they're working towards.

Re: The Ironically Thoughtless Xbox One Thread
I really don't see the big deal. Plenty of time to announce the actual release date. It's smart of Microsoft to make sure they know they can meet it before announcing it.
The majority of console buyers aren't really following along and have no idea what's really going on. They find out about the new consoles, pros/cons, the games, the release date, etc MUCH closer to the release date. |

Furthering the point, Apple doesn't have to hit PAX East and E3 and TGS and PAX Aus and Gamescom and Gamestop and PAX Prime.
