You laugh but I've seen Disney wine & dine bloggers to come down and put a postive spin on a new ride or show that fans online have already responded negativelly towards to try and influence word of mouth. Companies like that pay an obscene amount of money to get people on social networking sites, blogs, and smalltime sites on board with their message.
No reason at all to think Microsoft wouldn't do the same.

No they have been suspects for a while if you listen to the weekend confirmed podcast.
The problem is branding anyone who doesn't criticize it into the ground a potential recipient of this kind of payoff.
more like 45 year old with a hair style of a 12 year old.
why didn't you guys tell me this idiot talks 70% of the time

When did this happen?
Last E3 I believe. The "checking boxes" interview where Geoff went in hard.

great hair tho
Last E3; it was hilarious.
I usually like to see these Bonus Round to be honest but this one I just had to close the video, the guy on the right with the hair on fire talking "Oh I see your shoulders and I raise you with blah blah blah" and "I've been a Xbox fanboy since day UNO..." I mean...
It's difficult to make a point if you have trouble choosing words to match a more serious conversation. I'm not a native English speaker so it is expected that my english will not be the best but... I don't know.

...it fires IR beams at your TV to emulate your TV remote after you set up all the inputs.

I know and unfortunately some people will get accused or caught in the crossfire. I myself defend the X1 sometimes but usually you can tell if the person really believes that or if they have been bought.
I mean saying things like "I've been wanting to run all my devices through xbox since the original came out and i'm so glad Microsoft finally did that" is just weird
It's hard not to when 99% of the people defending it are doing it with so many buzzwords they read like viral marketers.
His interview with Reggie around E3 2012. Maybe "go in" was a slight exaggeration. Still I thought it was a lot more pointed than most of his fluff stuff.
Usually you can tell? Really? I think it's a useless accusation without some kind of direct evidence. Either you agree with an opinion or you disagree and can explain why you think they're wrong. Saying "also, they got paid off to say that!!!!" adds precisely nothing to any conversation.
I think people just re-use words. It's also easier to have a conversation if people refer to things consistently.

One little tidbit from Geoff that might be a big clue is he said "From what I've been hearing Sony will have something similar, the pubs won't let them not have no drm"... I'm paraphrasing. Geoff is one of the most keyed in dudes in the industry so that's a major clue. P.S. Andrea Rene is super hot,, my goodness.

LOL @ Alex Albrecht... Glad Garnett put him in his place.
Holy shit what the.....
Yeah, and it doesn't even play SNES games either. All in 1 box my ass.

He is playing through it now. Hes at the forest with the text adventures.
Well, alex did bring up one interesting thing that I didn't think about. You wont need to change the input to use dvr functionality since it is a stream of the cable box. You will still need the cable remote for such things, so kinect wont be much use there, but it wasn't as bad as I was thinking.

very interesting.
seriously, what are they doing over there. why not just give the option to turn the video HD like every single other video player out there?
publishers will follow the consumers. See if Sony allows used games and MS doesn't, but Sony has more people buying their system, publishers will want in with Sony.

That is because its nintendo, 360 is theirs.
It doesn't work that way. He is the dudebro MASTER, always was. Always was invited for being that. Thought he was a director at one point after leaving digg. Used his internet fame to make his wife a popstar.
Well, on the last one he might have failed.
(I'm not stalker, I swear!
)90% of talkshow producing is knowing who you should invite.
Wow, it's time for my return to his show. It's been a long time coming.

True. Always online is always online, 24 hours doesn't change that (even though people try to argue otherwise, it's just schematics)

I dont know if he has talked about it on the show since im a week behind, but he has been tweeting about the game a lot.
Here it comes. Looking like we may all be up the same shit creek if we want one of these new consoles. The Wii U may end up being an attractive option once it has some games.
And because it seems like the DRM will be completely software they are able to change their plans.
Yeah, that was.... kind of worrying.

Wow there were some serious MS tools in there...that was a bit sad to watch actually.Does the guy on the right wants to convince us that the people who were disappointed with Sony by not showing their bloody console design is the same with this fucking PR disaster?
Was it really a bonus to him and the woman that they showed this ugly thing?
And seriously Keighley is starting to sound like a broken record with all this "but hey it's only software" crap whenever something negative comes up.Guess what Geoff just because it's software it doesn't means that publishers are suddenly going to change their policies for their consumer's benefits.For what it's worth it's a biggest possibility to go the other way around and screw them even harder without even asking them once they have locked them good enough with a subscription or an investment in digital games content.

Well, 24-hour is only a problem if you can't use an internet connection where it's set up. Always requiring a connection adds additional problems on top of that, like if your internet is down, or Live is down, even for a short period.

Videogame journalolism at its finest.
Opinion pieces with no real opinions or insight.
What's the point?
They were just phoning it in.

Don't start panicking until E3 where we should be getting more info. If they make no mention of used games, however, then start getting worried.
It's probably the thing a lot of of people feared.
Sony is leaving it up to the publisher to decide whether to do it or not, unlike MS who seems to be forcing it.
And we all know what EA, Activision and the rest will do.
So let me guess... Just buy the system and the new licenses wait for them to do. They ought to. Sometime. You waited so admirably..
He's a tactical genius! They will never expect us not to attack! Dudebro...
You accuse him of repeating it too often and then demonstrate you don't actually understand the point he's making. He doesn't argue that it being software justifies any particular drm scheme, but that it being software lends credence to the claim that much of this has yet to be decided.
If you have your system powered off a few days, decide to play a game and Live or you ISP is having issues, you can't play anything
that's a big anti-consumer problem

That Alex guy is a fucking tool. The personification of the insufferable internet fanboy.
Whoa, so sad.
