Any opinions on xbox one?
Personally for me the biggest let down is no used games also the connect to the internet once a day to continue playing your games even single player. Anyone else have any thoughts or news.

Re: Any opinions on xbox one?
Nothing I want to buy anyway, I can't lend games to my friends, I have to reconnect to internet once a day (even though that is not a problem today, not at least for many people).
If I want to trade game I have to go to a pre-approved retailer in order to do that (which makes it harder for me since there might be few in my city) No, not impressed at all!

Re: Any opinions on xbox one?
It looks like someone took an old NES console and painted it black. Which is ok, I guess, if you're into the whole retro look.

Once version 2 of the bios is worked out, I'll get a PS4.. Never again would I get an XBOX.. Wonder if this new xbox will have the "One Ring of Death"... lol...

Re: Any opinions on xbox one?
I don't get interested in gaming consoles, preferring to stick with PCs. Yes, I will probably miss out on some great games but I miss out on many things so I am not going to worry about it.
At least I can disconnect my computer if I don't want someone snooping around on it. I do not have webcams at the house any more.

Re: Any opinions on xbox one?
I think PS4 totally beats the Xbone. If I buy a console I would get PS4 for sure. It's far more consumer friendly. It's GDDR5 is a much better choice from a video intensive system to boot. The Xbox does come bundled with the Kinect system (which may or may not be a plus) while PS4 is standalone. The Xbox also has a couple of exclusive titles that looked nice but not enough that it would sway the difference for me. And then there is the DRM issue with the Xbox.

E3 had a bunch of cool looking single games: These are the ones coming out for the PC that I thought looked good with details and release dates when available. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist (Ubisoft) / open world 3rd person action adventure game / single player and multiplayer / August 2013 Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision) - first person shooter / single and multiplayer / November 2013 Watch Dogs (Ubisoft) - open world action adventure stealth video game / single player and multiplayer (co-op) / November 2013 Assassins Creed 4 (Ubisoft) - historical open world action adventure video game / single player and multiplayer / October 2013 Batman: Arkham Origins (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) -3rd person action adventure game / single player / October 2013 The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (2K Games) - August 2013 MURDERED: Soul Suspect (Square Enix) - mystery puzzle action adventure game / single player / early 2014 Thief (Square Enix) - stealth game / single player / 2014 Mad Max (Warner Brothers) - post-apocalyptic third-person open-world adventure / single player / 2014 Tom Clancy: The Division (Massive Entertainment) / online open world 3rd person action role playing game / single and multiplayer / 2014 The Evil Within (Bethesda) - survival horror game / single player / 2014 Dragon Age 3 - Q3 2014 The Witcher 3 - open world cRPG - 2014 The best multiplayer game I saw was not Battlefield 4 but Tom Clancy: The Division from Massive Entertainment. It's an massively multiplayer online tactical 3rd person shooter action role-playing game. It supposedly supports single player but I can't verify that. Sadly it will only be released initially on console although it might be ported to the PC. Edit: Added some more details on the games. I also saw some videos for game play for these: Battlefield 4 - first-person shooter - single player campaign or multiplayer - Electronics Arts - If you've played the earlier versions, there are a few new additions but not all that much . New gameplay elements include dual-scoped weapons, and use of vehicles in single player mode - PC and Console Titanfall (meh another multiplayer-only mech shooter - nice graphics but not my cup of tea) - PC and Xbox exclusive Quantum Break - another TV show - Game tie in - didn't see a lot of game play but cinematics were awesome - Xbox 1 EXCLUSIVE at launch may be ported to PC but NOT to PS4 Defiance - open-world shooter MMO - yes tied into the TV show - The show, which debuted on April 15th, 2013, is influenced by events in the game and in turn influences events in the game PC and Consoles

Re: Any opinions on xbox one?
Oh yeah, Thief too -- I just hope the do it right.. Sometimes reboots are really bad.. And it kinda sucks because usually when they release a game for consoles and PCs, they rarely release an editor.. (Skyrim did) I sure hope Thief does!!
Witcher 3 also sounds good!!

Re: Any opinions on xbox one?
Today Microsoft said they are removing all the DRM however it still seems too little to late for them vs Sony. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...ions-abandoned
