But they need to unify all platforms, I hate I can't use MS points on my Lumia or Windows 8.

I can use my points on Win 8, but only for movie rentals. It does suck that it doesnt work for the games. But you're right, they definitely need to unify all the platforms.
safe bet they will.
Yeah i looked at the thread a while back, wish i were here at that time lol.
Yeah it's pretty hilarious looking at the posts before and after the official announcement , wasn't on Gaf at the time but practically every game forum was shut down with that announcement, never have a witnessed such meltdowns about a game before. It was amazing!
Microsoft points are basically going to be forced out no matter what as Microsoft moves forward with a unified platform plan. Soon enough we're going to see pretty much the same store and apps across all of their platforms and Microsoft points would be way too confusing for a part of the market they are trying to reach out too with some of these platforms.
Xbox
Windows
Windows RT
Windows Phone
Office
Skype
and so on are all going to need monetary systems that work with each other.

Gamespot accidentally leaked the FF13 stuff during the conference about twenty minutes before the announcement but nobody believed it and thought it was just a mistake.
Then Square took the stage a few minutes later and the thread blew up into complete craziness. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=327004

Fallout 3 would have been a better exclusive to get than FF.

In hindsight, most certainly.
No kidding but even multi-billion dollar companies can't see into the future.
They should've negotiated for a exclusive FF7 HD remake for X360 instead.
Man the first page is almost like a graveyard.

Definitely. It wouldn't have caused those delicious meltdowns that FF caused.

So. Fucking. Close.
But. So. Far. Away.
Why is that a surprise?
I mean think about it how many people in their demographic actually watch MTV anymore? Holding a event and streaming onto Xbox 360s directly and Spike TV is a way better choice.
good times
Good lad. After you've discovered it's inherent awesomeness, you can join us over here for a bit
thanks yea been admiring that thread...
hope it's on come TuesdayBackwards compatibility without silly peripherals.
hmm, if they announced I could play my 360 games uprezzed [not upscaled but running native] in 1080p. I don't think publishers would like that though since they couldn't release their "HD collections"

It's been so long since we had a true megaton.
The Bayonetta 2 graveyard thread was great though.
but we already gots a tent

It was, and will forever be, beautiful. I raced home just to hop online and witness the internet-wide meltdows. I wasn't disappointed!
Is Alan Wake 2 a feature?
I'm not sure... the ability to install and play retail games from the HDD without a disc would be very nice.
I want to get hyped for this, I really do. Hopefully they'll be a light on the "entertainment" and "content" rubbish and show me some new games worth playing. A new Halo or Gears won't cut it. Alan Wake 2 and whatever new exclusive IP's they can show. And I know I may be asking just a bit too much here but maybe just MAYBE something that isn't a shooter.

Game is part of entertainment unless you're not play games for fun

MTV is nowhere near as relevant as it was 8 years ago. Also isn't this system doing what Apple TV is rumored to be doing and trying to move away from cable packages and instead allow you to get channels/shows ala carte?

From a quality point of view its subjective (though I prefer Fallout 3), from a sales point of view they are relatively the same if not favouring FF slightly but from an impact pov FF was clearly the bigger megaton. FF represented the PS3's last bastion of hope in an era where many of its third party exclusives went multiplatform. MS killed all incentive some people had for buying a ps3 at that time. The result: posts and threads we will remember forever.

No.
Such a thing is really hard to do cause the cable companies have so much clout and they dont want it to happen.

It's a shame nobody bothered to ask if the game would be any good.

Yep. More power than PS4.

They would have to.....
Who am i kidding i'm already going to buy the damn thing.
Alan Wake 2 would help though.
It would be disappointing without the meltdowns.
The posts after the reveal should be interesting, at the minimum.

Whooo.....hurt me hurt me!!!!
Not really sure what the girl in the back right corner is trying to accomplish...Does she have water in her ear?
So is anyone else actually excited for the features aspect of the 720? Most people seem so dismissive of it but I personally love the idea of being able to instantly switch between games with no downtime for instance. I understand people want the focus on games but come on, does anyone truly believe the console will be starved for content like the late days of the Gamecube or something?
