An Xbox One without Kinnect no less.

They had a massive marketing push and money behind Titanfall. For all intents and purposes it was expected they would push past the PS4 in March. It didn't. You don't make such a drastic change if things are rosy and working as planned.
It's the right decision. I applaud it and its about time they got their heads from out of their asses as far as the paywall is concerned.
Gotta love competition in the marketplace. I'll never understand why anyone wants any one of these companies to own the entire space. Fuck that.
They are three iterations in on the UI. They've made some positive changes. I still much prefer the simplicity of the PS4 but its improving.

Wow, good on Phil for changing the course of the XBO. If they retool the UI to work well without Kinect (which I'm assuming they'll have to) I'll be one step closer to picking one up. Now all they need is a few more solid exclusives.

Xbone without Kinect is just a weaker PS4 for the same price. No thanks.
The exclusives aren't that good to differentiate it

Good point, most the 1080p stuff is just PS4.
I do like the exclusives, I want Ryse and Dead Rising 3. Quantum Break looks really good too whenever the hell that will be out.
It's on sale in the Xbox Game store this week for $29.99
You can get the disc version on AWD for $23.
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Games with Gold for Xbox 360 and as a thank you for helping shape this program, members will receive an additional free Xbox 360 game in June. The Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 in June are Dark Souls, Charlie Murder and a bonus game of Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
WOW! Good free games for 360
I wish I could watch fine cinema like Tangled, relatively speaking, with my son. My son is obsessed with trains so Thomas the really stupid Tank Engine is the only thing he wants to watch. He is 2; we tried watching Up; he got really scared during the storm scene so we had to turn it off. I guess most animated movies are good for like 4+.

So now XBO is just a more powerful 360, as it should have been to begin with.

I think they would have been better off leaving a SKU with Kinect in the box and pricing that at $400 and then a cheaper SKU at $350 without Kinect.
That way the SKU that's the same price as the PS4 still has something that's unique and differentiates it and compensates for any deficiency within the box itself, and people who don't want Kinect can get their system at cheaper than the PS4.
Still it's a step in the right direction and it shows that MS is taking heed of how the gamers have voted with their wallets to this point in the generation and are going to work to try and tip those votes in their favor. I've seen a slight complacency from Sony in the past months (I.E. DriveClub), not quite 2006 Arrogant Sony yet, but they've left the door ajar for MS to make a big push at E3.
Up isn't that good past the first 15 minutes anyhow.
Take that back, or your Colts fandom will be demoted to Trent Truck tier.

Mech I'll play PSO 2 with you
on ps4
Midtier PIxar at best. People eat it up for the beginning and Dug.
You are going to feel so destroyed when JFF walks out on to MS E3 stage when they announce all these new exclusives and does the make it rain motion.
I thought I knew you Narag, guess I was wrong.

This is totally something MS would do.

Yep. Aside from the beginning it's just kind of meh
I agree, making apps free for non-gold members only devalues what gold once stood for as well.
He was our #1 draft pick for a reason.
Just to torture BG and make him buy a ONE

Good move for Microsoft but I think a Kinect + Titanfall deal for $450 would've been the better deal if it went standard.

Nicely done! I also lost some units on the final Chapter. They died for a good cause. ALBW is very good.

:jnc I was once a very happy 360 owner, but all the paywall shit just really turned me off. Gears , rb6v , halo, shadow run , lost planet ... Good times! But Microsoft ruined it! Bastards!
I liked a lot of Wii games.
But I like different things. I can't play the same exact madden game every year and pretend to be excited.
I think it sucks that motion controls failed and no one is trying it anymore.

Speaking of MS, I haven't touched my 360 in months but I'll be hooking it back up tomorrow for Super T.I.M.E. Force. I've been waiting forever for that game.
It's an unbelievable game. SRPGs should be the main genre on any handheld. Where is our sequel, Nintendo?!
Off topic: Mech knows this about me. I used to be the hugest Nintendo fanboy ever. Everything they do from an non-unified online interface to horrible third party relationships boggles my fucking mind. I want to buy a Wii U but can't for the simple fact that any digital download titles are gone if the system breaks. What kind of bullshit is that?

Good to see that Microsoft is getting rid of the paywall, I'm still getting rid of my 360 though.
You just love them because they were popular when the Lakers were good. You are stuck in your 00s time capsule.
There were some fun uses of them. Really like that first tiger woods game that used motion+ or whatever.

When did this Donald Sterling/Anderson Cooper interview happen? How am I just hearing this? This is riveting. Holy Mother of God is he crazy.
Believe the interview was a couple of days ago, it just got released yesterday. $1.9 billion net worth and the idiot can't hire a PR guy. It was hilarious to watch him bury himself further and further with each answer.

IIRC they first aired the interview last night.
No he's not. Being rich automatically means you're very smart and should be listened to as an authoritative source on any and all subjects. Wealth is the ultimate measure of sanity and competence. That's the American way.

Him asking Anderson cooper if he's ever been jealous about a girl was hilarious.
