I just read a quick rundown of the X Box One. Sounds awful.

if by awful, you mean amazing, then yes...i agree.
Well the funny thing is a few of those: Doesnt play used games was never mentioned in the conference. It may be reffering to the fact that you download games onto your console, but they said you could bring your games to your friends houses, so that leads me to believe they dont have to be downloaded onto console
Not backwards compatible- Very few regular Xbox games were backwards compatible on the 360, so not sure what the issue is there
Always on- Once again, not spoken about at the conference. Was rumored, but they made no mention of that.
You must have read an article that was published before the conference and as such has no validity

well when you put it that way...
i think it would behoove Microsoft to rethink that backwards comp. ordeal....
original to 360 was one thing, but now...i think everything needs to be the same.
heck, what do i care....i don't even own a gaming console!
xbox, ps, wii, blu-ray, dvd, cd, laserdisc, vhs, beta, cassette.....call me when you make up your minds and i can use them all in one place.

Straight out of the article: Xbox One is Not Always Online
But some game designers may choose to do so. Granted, that is a game issue and not a console issue.
Agreed. I just dont think backwards compatibility is an issue at all. The 360 didnt have it for the most part and I didnt notice it.
It will be interesting to see who goes will always on, but I dont think it will be that widely adapted

I need to sit down. My blood flow has stopped and is now centralized. I am thinking about a swoosh Xbox. So awesome....
I've always had a Playstation but have no issue with Xbox. I'm still up in there air on which one I want. The only things I'm considering really are game related. I do not care about skype, or uploading to youtube, or being able to talk to my system. I don't care about any of that. I just want to play games. Other than that, I really don't care about anything else.
Does anyone know if there will be any changes to the yearly subscription to xbox live?

Dude - you just earned a ton of cool points! Tomb Raider was most excellent! It's tied with Assassin's Creed as one of my all time favorites. Bioshock...awesome in a weird off-beat kinda way. The ending was...ah...unexpected.

I"m not so sure, it depends on how much microsoft's "custom" AMD chip offsets the performance difference between xbox's DDR3 memory and PS4 GDDR5 memory. Otherwise I think their CPU accelerators are about the same. Since Microsoft isn't releasing any of the details I don't think anyone will know which is really faster/better until they get independently performance tested.
I'm with you DylanMN, it's all about the gaming experience... performance is everything!

You had me at Yuengling!
crap...you know I didn't mean that in the Jerry McGuire kind of way right?
It's really aggravating when I have to fight T2GRN and Youngbuck for gaming time! They are hogs!
