    Nope. Saving up for a gaming PC instead. I await Black Friday. Maybe, just maybe, if the price decreases I will get it when Halo 5 comes out. I like the Halo story, even if the multiplayer blows.

    Xbox One is basically a cable box with a controller.

    Heck no! I'm getting the PS4 on release date along with an already preordered copy of Call of Duty: Ghosts. I'm set for a year! :D

    Let me get this straight. MS is using Sony tech in their new console? So Sony will also make money off of XBOne sales?

    That is beyond delicious.

    Bluray was originally a Sony trademark. Yes. But I'll be more specific, Sony isnt the sole licenser of bluray. Any manufacturer who wants to use bluray tech and use the bluray name/labeling needs a license. Obtaining one from Sony or a leading participator in the Blu-ray Disc Association which was started by Sony, but is spread across a number of leading companies.

    I don't know the terms of the license so I couldn't say if Sony or anybody gets a profit cut in that fashion.

    I'm getting one. In my eyes, the PS4 is a console. The Xbox One is also a console. Except the latter also has multitasking, which appeals to me considerably, because Skype chat calls during multilayer is something that I would definitely look forward to. In terms of anything else, I don't really see any difference that I could reasonably care about. I cannot even begin to care who actually made the console.

    So with the xbone being released soon, I think the fact that this thing requires a day one patch to function should be discussed.

    I'm not even sure how a company can release a none functioning product and even expect it I go well. I know day 1 patches are all the rage and whatnot but this is absurd.

    I'm all kinds of flavored Jelly over those of you who can play games on your PC, my PC has been broke since before I joined this forum(dancing around with manufacturer over warranty crap, don't buy a PC off Amazon or made by CyberPC!). Love my OG Wii and all 5 of its good games and my 360, can't stand Playstation controls and I still have a beef with Sony CEO John Smedley being a bastard stealing game engines and ruining EQ and SWG. Hate that Live Sub crap for Xbox, but I love the controller, I love playing my RPGs and Halos on the Xbox and will have to buy an Xbox One if and when they ever come out with a new Mass Effect/Fallout/Skyrim that is only avail for One. Also, last gen added HD graphics and such; what the hell does the new gen add to gaming? Unless the new gen systems can run an even more kick ass Skyrim whats the point in them? Spending 600 just to play a new COD seems insane to me

    I might get the Xbone...like a year or two down the road, after my 360 is totally and completely obsolete and I'm positive the new system won't red ring of death on me the day I bring it home.

    Although Titanfall and Destiny might totally make getting the Xbone worthwhile, both games just look so awesome. :omg:
