2 things:
1) What the FUCK are Microsoft doing with used games? Just... wow.
2) Pardew may be sacked soon. Lots of talk about it. I don't want this to happen if we're going to get Pulis or McClaren.
Pulis looooooooooool fucking hell please happen

1-LOL, it's Microsoft, it was bound to happen. Just look at their own software policies. Fuck them in the ass, though. Won't buy their shit.
2-8-year contract? He will get a huge paycheck.

I'm perfectly aware of how RAM works, I have a giant textbook about it in front me. What has "magic dust" got to do with anything? My point was that 3GB of the 8GB being dedicated to the OS shouldn't -- which will remain to be seen -- be an issue with 5GB being set aside for games.
I was led to believe that the PS4 has 8GB of RAM also, does it not? And I'm also aware of the difference between GDDR3 and GDDR5. But at this point these are just numbers on a page. There's a lot to be said about how the software utilities the components.
The new Kinect looks very much improved from this 10 min video. Can track expressions, fingers, muscle mass and force.

Did they say if Xbox Live will keep costing money?
Nah, just 1 year. There are clauses.
Yep. "Current membership".

Sony doesn't have to do anything basically. They can just sit and watch MS playing with a fork and a power outlet while Nintendo is off somewhere eating glue.
What a great position to be in.

They implied it will.

It's also to completely ignore what I said, which is that nowhere -- that I saw -- does the Kotaku article mention that you won't be able to log in to your account on another console and play the game. The same way current 360 DLC or XBLA or online passes or Steam or any system works when they require a once off registration code.
I mean, obviously I could be wrong but I'm just applying conjecture to the same level as the opposing views.
They implied it. But by very fact that they didn't mention otherwise says that it will. And why wouldn't they? People buy it.
Your logic isn't welcomed here.
Apparently you can do that, or at least I believe I read that.
From the looks of it the PS4 ain't gonna be cheap.
I think both companies are going to be in for a rough ride.

They're probably gonna have a limit of machines for that. Similar to the PSN game policy of 2 machines.

Apparently not.
I'll eat my hat/s if you can't.
Anyway, I'll presumably buy Xbox One assuming the people I play with do. If everybody jumps ship to Sony I will too. Just don't see the point in people claiming MS have some how drastically messed up because they've offered additional features that you aren't forced to use.
Nope, but I'm expecting a more reasonably price than the last generation.
£379 would be a good price point for them, still too much though for me.

Geez... there's even more:
this thing definitely won't sell south of the US.

But...it HAS NO GAMEZ
The big question will be if the consumer who generally only buys Call of Duty or Fifa has any incentive spend £379-odds on either of these machines.
I'd rather just gamble the money for one, it'd be more fun.
Initially no, just like the last generation. They won't sell all that well I would imagine until the first price drop.
I'll not be buying in for a good while, at least first price drop if not first hardware revision. Even then, I've seen nothing in them that makes me want one at all.
Apparently I was in denial because I said something positive about the Xbox.
Anti piracy. Should be like Steam though, it's like once a week iirc.

that's not the issue people have.
you have a Xbox 1. a friend visits you with his copy of, say, FIFA.
he logs in on his account on your console, you play, you drink tea, fish and chips, all that.
then you ask:
"friend, can i borrow your copy FIFA"
"sure m8!"
and when you log in on your account to play your friend's copy of FIFA that he lend you, you have to pay 60 to activate it online.
that last sentence is the issue here.
I'm in love
Me too, better not tell the wife...
Fixed that for you.
Geez... there's even more:
this thing definitely won't sell south of the US.
Oh it will sell. Consumers are wankers.
They'll be hamstrung by these cross gen titles, I reckon.
People want something to complain about even though it'll only affect a minority.
PC is the lead.

you don't play.
It explodes.
I only have one internet cable going to my room so most of the time my Xbox is offline. It seems like a chore to need to switch cables every 24 hours because MS wants me to.
Mkay. I'll just wait and see. Still a long wait

Honestly me neither. For me personally it wouldn't be an issue. The internet just needs something to make a huge fuss about. Hyperbole on GAF? Quelle surprise

What if I don't want to turn it on every day? What if I go on holiday?
I assume that it auto turns on in a low power state mode as long as its plugged in.
