Xbox One - November 22, 2013

[JBHuskers]

I remember when the original XBOX came out. A buddy paid us $40 or so to camp out with him that was in college so I didn't care, $40 was beer money.

That's hilarious. I remember when I was in line for a PS3 some guy was walking by giving $50 to anyone who would let him in line ahead of them. Yes, I took the $50. I was 17 and I wanted the money. I got my console anyway. I'd hate to think how much he spent on people letting him ahead of them.

Thank god I got my pre-order in yesterday afternoon. I'm not surprised though. I was expecting both Xbox One and PS4 to end up being sold out either last night or today. Part of the reason I pre-ordered both last night, so now I can take the next 3-4 months and decide which one (if either) I want to get on launch. It'll probably come down to games that will be coming out from them around launch and in the few months after, because otherwise I could easily just keep getting games for my 360 without hassle.

Though Xbox One would have the advantage right now partly because of Halo and partly because I already have Live Gold through next March, which will get extended with a new year of Gold to March 2015 come Christmas when I get a new 12 month Gold card from my sister. Whereas with PS4, I'd have to shell out the $40 or $50 for PS+.

Watch the Titanfall gameplay (not the trailer but the actual game play, trailer was garbage) and I think you'll have your mind made up.

I actually do need to watch it. EA was the only presser I really got the chance to sit down and watch, the rest was just reading what you guys were posting for everything. I do like what I did read on it, so I'll have to go hunt down the video.

My jaw dropped. That and The Division stole the show for me. The Division is on both systems but Titanfall is One/360/PC only.

You mean the "mech" game that's actually just a FPS in disguise. Nah, I'll pass.

Sort of an interesting thought/question. Will there be ANY One/360 exclusives that are not also on PC? I would think there would have to be otherwise why not just buy a PS4 for Sony's PS4 exclusives and play all the MS exclusives on your PC?

You hate all shooters so you're excluded!

That's how it's always been. I'm sure there's several that wont but there's always a good many that make it to PC. I doubt Ryse ever will. Halo wont. I'm sure we'll find out later on. I'd rather play on console anyway. I like my controller and if I'm using a controller on PC, I'm getting slaughtered by everyone using a mouse. No thanks.

Just watched the Titanfall gameplay. Nice! That definitely looks like it'll be fun.

Also just watched the trailer (while only a trailer, still fuck yeah!) of Halo (Halo 5), whatever the official title will be. Goddamn 2014 can't come soon enough with that game.

*Smooth cancels PS4 preorder*

Titanfall blew me away. I'd be getting an Xbox One day one for that regardless of what policies they had.

I'm keeping it for now. Any pre-order that I may cancel won't happen until at least September. Give a couple of months for all the details of everything to be ironed out by both companies and see what changes in regards to games around release and in the first couple months after. But Xbox One is definitely in the lead right now just because of some of their exclusives. Outside of The Show, there haven't really be any PS exclusives that I just had to go buy a PS3 for.

I'll probably get it cheap for 360 to mess around with, and then get it again whenever I get around to getting an XB1.

Xbox boss Don Mattrick believes concerns over connectivity are overblown, recommends Xbox 360 for those without an Internet connection.

Here's a question, now that you won't be able to buy used games on xbox one, and they must be downloaded.
I wonder if that will make it so under aged kids won't be able to play age restricted games?
I don't think xbox would in force that, but pretty sure they could a lot easier on the xbox one, compared to the 360.

How hard is it to go into the Family settings and make a few changes on the 360? You can set pretty much anything, what rating of games and movies an account is allowed, XBL or no XLB, a timer to limit playtime and more. Downloadable games and movies are all rated so it follows the same rules that are in the Family Settings.

Maybe on your 360/account, sure. But tell that to all the idiots out there who buy little 10 year old Johnny a 360 who then proceeds to play M-rated games (bought by mommy and daddy to shut him up because they don't want to do their jobs as parents) and sits there shouting stuff all game that would make their parents smack them if they heard what little Johnny was saying.
