The new Xbox Console: Xbox One... okay....

[Trail]

My main gripe is this:
You Will Be Able To Trade Xbox One Games Online, Microsoft Says

Or you could just log in with your own account details on his xbox and still play for free. And instead of trading the physical copy you can just trade it to him online (which I doubt costs the full price of what you paid for)

[color=#FFFFFF]As Jim put it Xbawks One...out of Ten, would not play

• Must be online at least once a day
  
• Mandatory install
  
• Pre-purchase subscription and payment
  
• No backwards compatibility
  
• No used games
  

the once per day thing is already denied by microsoft

not sure what your gripe is with the mandatory install or the subscription since that is nothing new and just continuation of the policy microsoft has had with the 360. The PS3 also has mandatory install for games

the backwards compatability thing is because the new xbox uses a bluray driver
In comparison PS4 also doesnt have backwards compatability

In short, “There are two ways [to play legacy content]: emulation or cloud services [from Gaikai]. But native support [of digital games from PS3], no, sorry. It doesn’t work.”

and you can get used games. just through their system.

Anyway im not getting the xbox one. I am 23 and ever since ive been able to afford PC games (for a long time now) and able to keep my PC upgraded I have not had the need to get a console or use my aging Wii / 360 (they are pretty dusty and havent used them since forza 3 came out, which if you are familiar with the game is a VERY long time ago). Maybe down the line I will pick up both of them when they are cheap and play the exclusives but thats about it.

My PC is already better hardware wise compared to both machines and mine is about 2 years old. Still no reason money wise to get a console over a PC since its cheaper to upgrade. Im better off spending the 400 -600 - 800 dollars (who knows at this point?) on a PC upgrade
