Halo.
I will be powerless to resist the next gen Xbox as soon as Halo is announced.
I've read every book, coo'd over every inch of every campaign.
The only thing that I find frustrating about all the rumours is that... Well... I know I am getting an Xbox for Halo... so it would make my life a lot easier if it did everything right (I don't mean GPU power in that either) so I can be a single format gamer next gen.
I have limited time as an adult and would rather focus that on enjoying experiences... the last couple of years I've had to rush through games when I have the time because my backlog is always bigger than I like. It's actually really stressful to have so many games competing for a finite amount of time.
This is the last generation of consoles and I want to savour every minute of it... I've been doing this for three decades.
So my current plan is:
Only buy one of them at launch and then pick the other one up... either:
1 - when Halo comes out if I decide to run with PS4
2 when PS4 comes down in prices and there's a good library of Sony first party games to be had on the cheap.
Right now, Xbox just has to be in the ballpark of PS4 for me to jump that way first... because I can integrate with Win 8 and my Lumia and stay connected... and while the core function of the platform is games (and I would NEVER buy it if that wasn't the case), of late I've found a lot of the Xbox apps are useful - the GT TV, IGN and Gamespot Apps are getting a lot of use for watching previews and reviews.
Weirdly though, looking at raptr, I've used PS3 a lot more than Xbox this gen.

That's it. If you zoom in close enough the image changes and you see the Xbox logo on the field
if you was answering to me ...again in MOST of europe countries there isnt netfllix....
here netflix just dostn work
this is the answer that i get when i go on netflix.com
"Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet.
Enter your email & we'll let you know when Netflix is available."
being like this from years
you can get netflix on your PC if you use mediahint
or if you get a boxee, appletv and use unblock-us (5$/month) on it you can pay for and use netflix on those as well
If it's Gaming, TV, Film and Music and worked on all my devices like OS X, Android and iOS then I'd be very interested in that provided the content is comparable to what I subscribe to currently and the price is at least slightly lower than what I am paying for currently (or I get something out of paying for a bundle).
i know i just need to pass trought a proxy but...u get movie in original language
u know here in italy ...(i know in other countries dont work like this) we traslate movies in our main language..
most of ppl would never pay for something that isnt in italian NEVER
Adults do not have backlogs, they have libraries
why would you want to destroy the movies with dubbing?
ive never understood why some countries just choose do defecate on the movies using dubbing instead of subtitles
the only valid reason to use dubbing is in animated movies made for children that cannot read

I agree, I don't think we have see a real leak info with some personal opinion.
Dude, their main spoken language. Damn so discriminate.
well clearly ms and hollywood cant change this ....so if a company like netflix want to sell their product in europe they need to do the dubbing (and they r not doing it coz is VERY EXPANSIVE. very fuckin expansive!)
the Xbox360 movie app...got thousands movies already witht he dubbing done..so why they dont use it!
swedish is my main spoken language, yet we do not dub (destroy) other countries movies no matter what language. Subtitles is good enough, unless the country is filled with illiterates
Ahh, I saw that. Thanks for the responses guys.
German here - we have pretty decent dubs for some movies or series over here. the german voice of House MD for example is a (debatable) better fit over here. But you are right in general although it's distracting to concentrate on the subtitles because you are missing the actual movie imho.
Subtitles are probably the best, original voice acting can never be replaced with dubbing without losing quality, it kinda degrades the original quality. To each his won I guess, everyone has their own likes and dislikes.

That's great for you I suppose so.
I think subbed destroyed the movie because you cannot remove it. Let it has subtitle option rather than subbed. Same with dubbed too.
Dubbed might the best option because I bet more people can speak than read.

I also never understood dubbing. It is way more expensive. And I think the reason Germans in general don't speak English that well has to do with the lack of subtitles and the fact that they have dubbed everything. At least, I once read a piece about the fact that Dutch and Danish people can speak other language that well because of their habit of using subtitles.

Likewise in Croatia, except for content aimed at children. I could never understand why some countries promote illiteracy in that manner.

No leaks - confirmed!
Who's that?
It's because the audience is too small in denmark and netherlands. It's not a decision to "we want our people to speak english better".
It doesn't really feel distracting to read subtitles if you're used to them. The human eye/brain is pretty good at it. Plus, people in small European countries are better at English, so the subtitles are more of a crutch in many cases rather than something you have to read 100%.
Indeed, there are some advantages to being a small country. Being able to experience the movie as it was made.

Dubbing movies also feels a bit like an artistic rape.
Yeah, those are available in dubbed versions in Sweden as well. Disney and so. Do it for the kids god damn it.
Someone who works at Microsoft. Of course there are people outside Microsoft (like in publishers/studios) who know more than some Microsoft employees, so the fact that a particular MS employee doesn't know is not very meaningful IMO.

People doing the dubbing are actors too. Some are better than the original, others are worse. It can even explain why some TV shows or movies are more popular in specific countries.
The French voice is great too :

I have the DVD with both original and dubbed voices, but for House I prefer the dub.

In Japan you can usually press a button on your remote to switch between dub and subtitles.
Though it pisses me off that half the Western stuff on Japanese Hulu only has dubbed version. I really wanted to watch March of the Penguins with Morgan Freeman's vocal talents

I want to see the original content, not an "improvement" of it.
If a translator takes liberties in improving the books they translate, they probably get fired for it.

The only brilliant dubbing I know is the Dutch version of Bert and Ernie, which was once choosen as the best dub of Bert and Ernie in the world!

Yes!
So the tent is the size of a football pitch... I wouldn't say that was small.
No leaks - confirmed!
Interesting.
So the Danes and Dutch are better at English because they read a lot of DUTCH and DANISH subtitles ?
Wut ?
And I visit Germany a couple of times a year , almost everyone under 50 seems to speak fluent English.

Not really, because it is impossible to translate anything without losing and adding something to it. A literal translation of any book would be awful to read.
That's why some translations from the same book are more famous than others, some of them being regarded as classics. Christopher Marlowe was a great translator. So was Charles Baudelaire. *edit : and Goethe, Paul Auster, Voltaire,...
No. Because they hear English all the time in movies and TV.
People from big European countries (Germany / France / Spain / etc.) usually have much stronger accents and worse English skills than people from small European countries (Scandinavia / Netherlands / Portugal etc.). Although even in the big countries things are improving lately (perhaps in part because of the Internet).
