Does anyone no what happens if you don't sign in within 24 hours? do you have to buy a new xbox?

Reon

hahaha i heard on ps3 youtube clip they said "it wont work" have no idea what that meant, the game doesnt work or the xbox or ??? maybe you need to register it again haha

Nope, I'm going back to Sony for my next gen fix. I've had great years with the original Xbox and 360 but they let themselves become too greedy with the One.

MS seems to have decided people want Skype or TV features from their console while PS4 has shown to have gamers interests at heart. Not to mention MS making a woefully misjudged and misguided attempt to kill the second hand market. There's simply nothing redeeming about the One in my eyes and just no way I could justify purchasing it.

Eventually. But not before I get a PS4 and WiiU and not before I get a job.

I still think that, despite the crazy drm and connection issue, the Xbox one will be a huge success. They will be behind from the off but I'm sure Microsoft will turn that around like Sony did with ps3 which had a terrible start. Both are going to be be fantastic machines to play games on so I think all in all the consumer wins with having the option. Personally I'm more interested in a ps4 due to price and more friends will be getting it

Especially since you've to pony up an extra €100 for the privilege.

Nope, as the owner of an Xbox 360 I can safely say I won't be going anywhere near the Xbox One, 100 euro more expensive and 100 times less customer friendly. Playstation 4 is getting my custom this generation.

Reon

like i said i dont know much about the xbox one but the from the whole paying 100 euro for online and you cant sell back the game or sh!t sounds pretty retarded aswell as the having to sign in unless they rid all those stupid ideas then they might have a chance but again i know jack sh!t apart from those of and the kinnect apparently thats fudged aswell, who knows the only thing i can think of to make it decent is if they gave away free xbox's

You don't pay 100 for online? You pay about €40, and you'll have to pay to play online for the PS4 as well.

I'm of two minds. I prefer the 360 over the PS3, mostly for playing with my friends and I prefer the controller. But now, not sure what to do. Microsoft have made some serious mistakes this time, price, drm, etc. I would prefer to be gaming with the One controller. But I am putting serious consideration into just going with the PS4. But I don't know yet. I will prob end up going with whatever my friends go with, as I do alot of my console gaming with friends.

Over a 7-10 year period is €100 actually much? Pretty null argument for peasants imo.

In saying that I'm PS4 all the way. Always have been Playstation.

COYVB

Won't be buying it, and if/when I get one from MS it won't be going into my house. It'll be the office spare

Reon

true true but would they honestly pay 100 to play online? :O controller could easily be adjusted 2 :P

I was talking about buying one at or near launch. Will I pick one up? Yeah, much like I bought a PS3 in late 2011, five years after my Xbox 360. When is the only question, and the answer for Xbox One is "not soon".

I hate all these sort of knee jerk reactions, the consoles aren't even released for 5 or 6 months yet the consensus already is that the xbox is going to flop. Online every 24 hours will be a non-issue for 95% of people, even more so in their main marketplace in North America. Its hard to know what to make of the used game thing until its fully explained, I hate the sound of it but for casual gamers that only pick up FIFA/Madden/COD or whatever it probably wont be a huge issue and there's a massive market there. They'll have plenty of support in North America I'd imagine with all the TV and sports integration as well

I'm definitely leaning towards a PS4 but not planning on basing the decision solely on a 90 minute presentation 6 months before release, while the PS4 will probably win the early battle they'll likely have at least a 6 year lifespan so I doubt Microsoft will be all that worried at the moment

Physically, no. The XBO is about twice the size of the PS4 and has a power brick hanging out of it. The XBO has gone back to the form factor of the Xbox from 2001 and the PS4 form factor is borrowed from the PS2 but in italics back in 1999.

what happens if theyre away for holiday or at a friends or away for the whole weekend? i think its very retarded the way you have to sign in every 24hrs what for ?? unless you're a full time loaded gamer then only id c why they would want to buy the xbox apart from that ps4 for me

PS4 for me, few diehard Xbox friends of mine making the switch to Sony also.

I've owned two xbox 360's. The first 2005-2010 was modded (so you can imagine what I was doing during this time lol :pac: ) But my second xbox 360 (2010 - present) i've just bought games for. I don't trade games or buy traded games. I see something brand new that is cheap, or worth the full price ... so the idea of the xbox one having this DRM crap and the PS4 not having - doesnt really bother me and i'm sure there has to be a percentage of gamers out there who feel the same.

HOWEVER! ... The €100 euro price tag difference is an issue for me. Games are going to be expensive. If I wanna play the new Metal gear for example. Why should I pay €580 (?) for an xbox one and the game when I could just pay €480 for it & a PS4 (?)

HOWEVER HOWEVER :pac: ..... PS3 took years to crack. Xbox 360 - only months and with Microsoft pi**ing off everyone with this DRM thing. What console is likely to get cracked first? Which maybe a buying factor for some unscrupulous gamers (Ie, me) lol.

You're going to pay an extra 100 quid for a less powerful console?!

Jesus, talk some sense into your friends. This generation of consoles belongs to Sony and I'm not even buying a PS4. I'm primarily a PC gamer.

so true ps4 will be the new big thing cannot wait for it to come out , pity it cant play ps3 games

Just wondering, would anyone who had thought about going for one of these consider going for a gaming PC instead?

With Steam's Big Picture, you are now getting to a stage where if you had your PC hooked up to your TV and you had a wireless controller, you could have a similar enough experience with a PC as you would with a console.

You could also build a reasonable gaming pc for about the same price and upgrade later as necessary. From what I can tell, the games are about the same price and with Steam/Amazon sales you can often get them much cheaper, especially if you wait a month or two (I bought Hitman Absolution last month for €3.24 on Amazon).

I know they are not the same thing, and many of the problems with the next gen consoles are pre-existing to some extent on PC i.e. no trading, but would anyone see it as a viable alternative?

idk for me personally i prefer certain games for consoles (ps) and certain games for pc-age of empires old school gamer ,i just prefer the ps to a pc, id get too distracted by facebook and such if i played on a pc id pause the game every 2mins

DeSelby83

I do game on pc a bit and agree with steam sales and the like its very tempting but I think I'd be moving quite a bit soon so a pc isn't exactly portable really plus not many of my friends game on pc so ps4 it is

I'm sure I would get used to the PS controller, I just prefer the Xbox one.

That price difference, yeah that made me go :eek:
To be fair to my friends, and I prob could have said it earlier, they haven't decided themselves yet. We'll have to see what happens over the next few months before we see what to do.

Here is my 2 Cents

I have being with xbox since the 360 came out all those years ago .Before that i was a playstation 1 and 2 man up through my youth with games like Final fantasy 7 , 8 , 9 , kingdom hearts , metal gear solid , grand turismo . I left Sony because i was turned into a halo nut by master chief at a buddys house (HALO 2).
But after all these years i'm going back to Sony .
Main Reasons

1. I want to be able to trade games with my friends .
2. Not having big brother looking over me everytime i turn my machine on
3. I want a games console , not a sky box, voice remote ,media centre all in one
4. Not forking out €100 extra for a kinect i have no use for

I know many of ye have your own points and some of ye will be staying with xbox , but as far as i am concerned this will be the final console war.
Who will you side with

well said i really dont like halo nor gears of war so ps4 is perfect for me i was abit pissed off at paying 50 euro to play online was hoping they wouldnt do that but **** happens, whats the big brother thing u were talking about i take it has something to do with kinnect? or... lol

riggerman

yep the kinect

It totally freaks my missus out

I just want the ability to play a game and play on line when i chose , not having to connect every 24 hours

As a 360 owner I'm getting a PS4. In fairness I did own the PS1 and PS2, Nintendo consoles before them.

But the Xbox One will probably be honey to a bee for hackers trying to prove a point so if it gets completely broken I might buy one ;-)

As it is now, no XBO for me. PS4 at launch yes. XBO maybe further down the road when it's about €300 and comes with a larger HDD. And that will be just to play Forza 5, Dead Rising 3 and Halo 5. All cross platforming will be done on PS4 this time compared to last gen when I got a 360 at launch and only used the PS3 for exclusives and old PS2 games I still love.

Reon

let this be a normal discussion no arguments i dont want this turning into a freaking youtube video where sh!t stirs from nothing, but lets all face it the xbox one is sh!t bring it BRAH! haha

gizmo

I'll more than likely pick one up eventually, yes. Probably a few months after I get a PS4, which will be a large number of months after I get a Wii U. Hopefully by then I won't feel like I'm paying a premium for a peripheral I neither need nor want and there should be enough exclusives either out or announced to justify the purchase. Between the latter case and it's intended usage as an exclusives machine, it'll basically make it my PS3 from this generation.

Lone Stone

I literally stopped playing my 360 to play with mates on the ps3 mainly because i didnt have to pay to play online, I really cant be bothered with this next gen either way its all hype better graphics and more day one dlc to come for twice the price. I think im going stick with my pc from now on, like whats the price of the games going to be now ?

DUBLINHITMAN

As a gamer
The decision on which console to get comes down to a couple of things

games
Forza 5 or gt6

are both consoles going to use Skype for in game chat or will it just be an app

When a game is released can I download it straight to the console on release day or do I actually have to have the disc

jaykhunter

I prefer Xbone's exclusive games list, but I absolutely don't want to support their authentication/used games B.S.. So i'm in a bit a of a bind. I hope they flip-flop on it.

deathrider

Is it wrong that while everyone is knee deep in this PS vs Xbox craic and who's buying what, all I can think is that I'd better start saving for a 3DS before the new Pokémon games hit the shelves?
