[AlexMogil]

Thanks for the IR blaster assurances.

 

[Kacho]

Damn that's slick
Might have to get that... Fair price too..

 

[FallbackPants]

It's hardly a coincidence. Most Americans watch Bloodsport two to three times a week. And Highlander.

But I'm Australian. We do that with Mad Max 2

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I'm not sure what you want me to say, I provided a real scenario. I also find it quite remarkable you've never heard of anyone complain of Apple's built-in battery, as nearly every Android user I know says that is one of the biggest reasons they avoid the iOS platform.

Having a rechargeable battery makes it exactly like the DS4, except that battery can be quite easily replaced. I just cannot find an issue with that at all.

You provided a scenario that is highly unrealistic and made a bad comparison so I offered a rebuttal from a different perspective, that's how a dialogue works.

I'm 23, all of my peers own at least one Apple device and not once have I heard them complain about the built-in battery or heard of one dying.

I'm not trying to turn this into a "MS is dumb for not including a built-in battery LOL" type thing, I just think it was an odd design choice for a supposedly next generation console. Like I said earlier, it won't affect my enjoyment of the X1.

 

[TKR92]

That orange one. Mmmm

I'm a sucker for orange. Must resist, uhhh

 

[RoKKeR]

Yeah, $90 is bonkers. Looking forward to the official controller modifications MS does in the future, but I want a white one by the end of 2014 damnit! Same goes for you, Sony.

 

[JaggedSac]

How long will it be after 12 before gaf goes down?

 

[Wishmaster92]

It looks perfect except two things:

1. Price
2. It doesn't say "Day One 2013"

 

[Slayer-33]

Damn that's slick
Might have to get that... Fair price too..

Those NYKO cradles and their batteries (eneloops are godlike too) are the best fucking shit. Ask anyone that owned them for 360

orange looks great

 

[pedr0theli0n]

10 minutes. get that popcorn poppin.

 

[RoKKeR]

orange looks great

Wish it was more of a matte finish like the white. But yes it does look nice.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

How long will it be after 12 before gaf goes down?

Depends on review scores. If they're awful it'll go down immediately. If they're too high, it will go down immediately.

 

[Wishmaster92]

orange looks great

I'm in love. Is there a red one?

 

[Slayer-33]

Don't really like the orange, white hell yeah

 

[Justin]

How long will it be after 12 before gaf goes down?

Considering that GAF was down for half an hour just because of the twitch announcement GAF should recover sometime shortly after Thanksgiving.... or after New Years if the reviews are bad.

 

[pedr0theli0n]

Depends on review scores. If they're awful it'll go down immediately. If they're too high, it will go down immediately.

do most places actually give a system a score? don't recall seeing this with ps4

 

[Vestal]

Depends on review scores. If they're awful it'll go down immediately. If they're too high, it will go down immediately.

So... BYE BYE GAF!

 

[Justin]

Depends on review scores. If they're awful it'll go down indefinitely. If they're too high, it will go down immediately .

Fixed that for you.

 

[The_Holy_Puck]

This 7 mins. Need to hurry up I want to see some stuff.

 

[Thorgi]

Though I'm a PS4 owner and quite happy with my purchase, I'm eager to see the Polygon review. Love the work they put into making those look awesome.

Also, Killer Instinct looks great. Might just have to pick one up when the price drops.

 

[ShinAmano]

What happens at 12?

A battery losing charge capacity or a port breaking isn't what I would call highly unrealistic. A problem may only affect a small amount of people, but when it affects you, it's 100% because you're the one possibly buying a new controller, when you could just pop in AA batteries and be on your way if you had that option.

I know you're not trying to turn it into that, I'm just not seeing an argument for making it internal only other than "next gen." If battery tech had progressed massively I could see that being a big draw. However, for whatever reason battery tech has stalled pretty dramatically. I wish it would progress more, but alas.

EDIT: Haha, that typo.

 

[RoKKeR]

What happens at 12?

Hardware/UI embargo drops.

GAF goes down.

I knew it was Evil Controllers. Good guys. I've seen the machine that makes these. It's ridiculous.

FYI, they can do matte or glossy finishes, I'm almost positive.

 

[Vestal]

Make sure you got flame retardant handy, along with a copy of LOTR to ready while we wait for gaf to come back up.
