EVERXBOX ONE OWNER HAS A BROADBAND CONNECTION?

 

Posting from a 3G smartphone. Idc if there are no fees. I now cannot play my games when I am at my mom's, who will not get internet. I don't have the means yet, so what the hell am I to do?

But enough about me. What about the other 49.9999999999% of Xbox 360 users who like being offline?

 

There goes Microsoft's Military consumers.

 

I should calm down v.v sigh...

I was never going to buy one anyway

 

(Please PS, don't pull this shit too!)

sonys's ceo already said that they never thougt about always online or locking used games

To avoid boo's at their E3 conference, Microsoft has decided to kill themselves before the event. Wise move.

I love AlphaOmegaSin. He makes so many great points in such an awesomely raged-up way.

He rages because he cares.

Anyways he does makes good points and doesnt sound stupid when he rages(which is what usually happens)

That is why I love this bastard.

I miss the days when consoles did absolutely nothing except run games...

Wow this system just gets worse and worse the more I hear about it.

I'm a huge HUGE fan of AlphaOmegaSin

 

His videos are always entertaining and straight to the point

I agree with everything he said.

Can't wait to see how much a joke this box really is. 

 

Japan sales in 2013: 1

The games looked great dont know if it saved them from there earlier presentation but it doesnt seem nearly as bad as what i thought. (still going for ps4 though) other opinions or comments?

I still don't care about the Xbox One.

Titanfall looks awesome I must admit, although not to worry, it will be on pc

That Max game looks awesome! Stole the show.

It looks better than it did a few weeks ago now that they've actually shown some games, but it's still not doing it for me. I may get one eventually once the price drops and some more stuff is out for it.

All hail the Alpha Omega Sin

$499. That's a lot of money. The games didn't catch my interest, and that steep price-tag just puts me off even more.

I agree im still heavily leaning towards ps4 i just dont think the xbox one needs as much hate as it gets

Not in this world... for now... I´m not interested.

With our modern architecture, Xbox One games will load more quickly, will be always accessible from the cloud, and there is no physical limit to the size or scope of the content provided. 

Here are our platform policies and capabilities for game licensing – all of which will be made available when Xbox One launches later this year:

• Buy the way you want—disc or digital—on the same day: You’ll be able to buy disc-based games at traditional retailers or online through Xbox Live, on day of release. Discs will continue to be a great way to install your games quickly.
   
• Access your entire games library from any Xbox One—no discs required: After signing in and installing, you can play any of your games from any Xbox One because a digital copy of your game is stored on your console and in the cloud.  So, for example, while you are logged in at your friend’s house, you can play your games.
   
• Share access to your games with everyone inside your home: Your friends and family, your guests and acquaintances get unlimited access to all of your games.  Anyone can play your games on your console--regardless of whether you are logged in or their relationship to you.
   
• Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games.  You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
   
• Trade-in and resell your disc-based games: Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers.  Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games. 
   
• Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.
   

In our role as a game publisher, Microsoft Studios will enable you to give your games to friends or trade in your Xbox One games at participating retailers. Third party publishers may opt in or out of supporting game resale and may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers.  Microsoft does not receive any compensation as part of this. In addition, third party publishers can enable you to give games to friends. Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners.
 

As we move into this new generation of games and entertainment, from time to time, Microsoft may change its policies, terms, products and services to reflect modifications and improvements to our services, feedback from customers and our business partners or changes in our business priorities and business models or for other reasons.  We may also cease to offer certain services or products for similar reasons.
 

In the months ahead, we will continue to listen to your feedback as we meet with our partners in the ecosystem to bring additional detail about our policies.
 

We are excited about this new generation of games and entertainment and look forward to sharing more news with our fans.

Following our Xbox E3 media briefing today, we were excited to hear from our friends at Amazon.com.

“We were thrilled by the unprecedented demand we saw for Xbox One today. In the first four hours of preorder availability, we sold through most of our Xbox One Day One Edition inventory. Customers eager to get an Xbox One should visit our store atAmazon.com/xboxone to ensure they keep up-to-date on the latest information. We are excited to be working with Microsoft to deliver the next generation of games and entertainment,” said John Love, Director of US Video Games & Software at Amazon.com.

It’s been an incredible day for Xbox and we’re grateful for your support.

http://youtu.be/DxkEe_l7S3gInteresting. I'm not usually one to get involved in Console wars, but... here you go.Also, I think we may have to have a sub-forum for Console wars.

Official Oathkeeper Response:

 

Firetruck yourself with a sword Microsoft.

 

EDIT:

 

Congratulations Mattrick.

 

You just told the soldiers fighting for your firetrucking right to be a greedy bastard to go to hell.

 

 

OK. I am ready to welcome our new PS4 Overlords.

That's interesting like he has a decent point. Xbox 360 will remain active for years to come and if you're a fan of the Xbox but don't always have internet then that's the way to go for now.

You're probably thinking ''There can't be anything worse than what Adam Orth said''..

Yeeeeah... no.

 

I just checked IGN and found this

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/12/gamers-without-internet-can-stick-with-xbox-360-says-microsoft

 

If you don't want to click the link, then just read this:

“"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it’s called Xbox 360,” said Mattrick.

“If you have zero access to the Internet, that is an offline device.”

 

Wow. That is all I can say. ANOTHER douchebag employee from Microsoft..

Why are Microsoft being douchebags all of a sudden? First Adam Orth, and now this Mattrick guy? Discuss!
