Hey... That's awesome!

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

Everyone who gives a shit about video games knows that you play games on an Xbox. Everyone. Not everyone who watches football and plays fantasy football knows there's a new device coming out that obviously plays games, but now does all their cool football shit too.

This is like bitching about no one ever making a phone call in an iPhone ad. Everyone knows it is a phone. Now show us the new things.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

:lol: I like the iPhone analogy.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

After screwing with Steam Big Picture a little bit, I can see how the Xbox One would have worked. Seems nice. I think I will buy everything digitally this gen.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

That's what I'm doing. If there are any particular Special Editions or whatever that I want, I'll just buy that, keep the cool stuff and sell the disc and plastic case, then re-buy it digitally. I just don't want discs this generation. :shrug: After installing Tomb Raider, Max Payne 3, Crackdown, Fable 3, Dead Rising 2, etc. digitally, I've seen the light. :)

This is, of course, assuming I can eventually plug a USB3.0 HDD into the console. Hell, I'd even go for a high-capacity SSD if it's compatible.

I'm not a Forza fan, but some new info today puts it at 24 players online, I guess that's a bump from 8-16.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

:thumbsup: You are taking a very logical viewpoint in all of this. Xbox knows they need more than just hardcore gamers. Trying for a four quadrant approach is ballsy, but the gaming industry has hit a plateau. If MS does it right, it could have a monster on it's hand.

I love all the new features, having never owned an Xbox. I like one stop shopping for my home entertainment. I hate having multiple devices to do different things. If I eventually need a laptop, it's gonna be one I use for doing basic computing for work.

Aside from fantasy football, won't Madden update players in real time, and other real world enhancements? This will be huge for the sports crowd.

Now give me a ATP World Tour game, and I will be in sports heaven. I just wish tennis wasn't such a niche market. It doesn't help that most tennis games aren't great, but Kinect would be the perfect for such games.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

MS is a he?

We will eventually get to a digital world... it was delayed by the initial reaction, but it will come.

Resistance is futile.

Tranny from Bangladesh, we just go with he to avoid confusion.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

I thought it was confirmed we couldn't do that? Is that something that "might come later"?

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

Sexay!! :banana:

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

I didn't see the Xbox commercial during the Broncos game, but I did see this one :

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

Since the beginning they've said that you can plug a USB 3.0 HD into the console and save anything to it that you can save to the internal hard drive. It was just only recently that Major Nelson said that functionality wouldn't be available at launch.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

Good point. I forgot. It's unconfirmed (at launch) for now. All they've said, if I recall, is that it would work "similar to how the 360 works," which as others have mentioned wasn't exactly seamless, and didn't support HDDs. Maybe MS will fix that, but even if I have to delete and re-download stuff sometimes, it's not a deal breaker for me.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

And none of those people are making a phone call.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

That's really splitting hairs.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

This was the original story about external hard drives.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

The iPhone can repair split ends?! My wife will be so happy!

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

I fixed it, sorry. Posting this after a 12 hour shift. Only time I had to comment, sorry fellas.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

You should be ashamed - ASHAMED - for posting such misleading information. ;)

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

External Storage... does not indicate HDD, could be only stupid thumb sticks again. :(

I would hope it would support HDD and at least 4TB. :)

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

That's right!

Gotta keeps all us funny/silly bitches in check!

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

Xbox One: Silly Bitches Unite on November 22nd.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

I can't see how they could when you have to install the games fully onto a hard drive. Then a stick essentially becomes a disc but in a different format. MS won't want that I don't think.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 

You could install games onto the thumb sticks as well.

I'm not saying they won't allow external HDDs, I'm just pointing out that they have not said that they will.
