    True, but Gamefly has been nothing but good to me in buying used games.

    I have bought a few used games from Amazon Warehouse and when they say LIKE NEW, I get something LIKE NEW. Will just have to wait and see what happens. I still think they are wavering a bit and after all the bad consumer feedback they are getting, things could change by E3. If not, Sony has a clear advantage.

    Same thing with Gamefly. And codes are unused too. But I get mostly PS3 anyways. MS hasn't made a "definite" decision yet, but I'm sure they know they are lagging behind after that lackluster presentation. That Sony ad pretty much summed it up...if it came from Sony. Either way.

    Absolutely love Amazon Warehouse. 90% of my game purchases come from there. Unbelievable prices and the vast majority of the time the games and cases are in pristine condition.

    Not surprisingly, it appears based on the back of the console that there's no Component out or similar. While that's obviously a good thing in terms of getting away from old technology, it's a bad thing for anyone with an HD-PVR or similar device. You can purchase an HDMI to Component converter but it can be spotty. Here's hoping that they (and more importantly Sony) won't use HDCP when play games so that the El Gato and other devices can work.

    Yeah I heard that there was no component on XB1. I know Elgato currently works just fine on the 360 so it would be odd if it didn't on XB1 but who knows at this point. Sony/MS have both been very vague about allot of "details"

    Article reads like MS is trying to get its cut of the market by extracting fees from the manu OR making it so ONLY MS headsets will work on XB1.



    IF Sony is going down this route too I honestly might just hold off on my PS4 purchase b/c I already have quite a bit of money invested with the Elgato and Astros to just throw them away along with my 1 TB HDD PS3 IF this stuff is all now obsolete.

    360 didn't need it because it didn't have a Blu-Ray drive; it's a requirement for Blu-Ray movies. For example, you can't watch Blu-Ray movies over a regular PC Monitor connection, it has to be connected via HDMI. That said, I would assume Sony/MS could turn that on/off when not watching movies.

    That article is kind of misleading on the headsets. You'll still be able to use sets like Astro and Turtle Beach because it'll still have optical. The only thing that WONT work is being able to chat with another player. I'm SURE there will be adapters made that allow you to use that eventually as well.

    I think the point is that many cable people might start doing this on their own as a way to tell consumers that their product (cable) is still worth paying for.

    IF many cable providers give this feature in their DVR there is simply ZERO reason to use the XBox1 because you are still going to have to connect your XBox1 to your DVR/receiver.
