Because even though i don't care for the XBO ( i do however prefer the UI over the PS4's), the thread title caught my eye... and not in a positive way, i think the thread title should highlight one of the systems highlights over an issue. Just imagine the following Xbox 360 Launch Thread | RROD's ain't that Bad... or something.

Just got my email confirmation that she's been shipped. :). Does anyone know where they ship from in the US? I'm up here in S. Dakota so if its from CA or WA it probably wont be here til Friday ha. On the bright side I do have a buddy at UPS so if it gets there Thursday I might be able to have him grab it. :)

I..what. Do you think the resolution of games is a hardware aspect comparable to mass failure of consoles?

To make it more simple for you; RROD was a big deal because people bought consoles that broke quickly. The fact that some games have lower resolution on XB1 compared to PS4 won't stop people from playing their games. Do you understand now?
 
What a crap comparison. The resolution is fine. You making out it's on par with RROD is N4G fanboy levels ....

It's merely an example of highlighting an issue over a virtue... it just seems weird to me... but whatever... i didn't drop in to poop on your parade... merely pointing out the fact that the title could've been better.

And i'm out.

Xbox Fans are not crying and breaking down over resolution differences!. Mom get my Fedora, I'm going to set those fuckers straight.
 
Au contraire... it only serves to highlight the resolution disadvantage... but i guess it could be worse.

lol for the people who truly care, that's wonderful, More power to them. But from my perspective, there's a lot more important things to be excited about.

It's cause we aren't overly sensitive about it. It is what it is. Some, or even most of us, have accepted it and just moved on, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it. It also doesn't mean we don't appreciate a great looking game at higher, even 1080p, resolutions, but there's far more about the Xbox One to appreciate than just what resolution everything is running at. The system genuinely looks to be coming together about as well as Microsoft initially envisioned it. Many skeptics thought, and still think, nobody would care about the OS and what Microsoft were doing with regards to features and services, especially stuff that includes Kinect. Kinect has gotten a lot of flack for being packed in, but I must say, the Xbox One wouldn't look nearly as exciting for me right now if not for some of the impressive things that Microsoft are doing with Kinect to add to the experience. It feels and very much looks like what you would expect of a next generation system. The OS and various pieces of Kinect integration practically scream it.

I wouldn't be surprised although I wouldn't expect to see that through 90% of the game like let's say God of War. I'm thinking its gonna be more like the Uncharted games (which a lot of people forget are fantasy because it's always concentrated at the end)

Huh...that's an interesting thought. That would be pretty neat actually if that's what it ended up being like.

Yeah, of course you are. Hit and run trolling in an attempt to derail a thread discussing something you don't like. The classic sign of a shitposter.
 
Oh wow... haha... you XB guys sure are something. I never meant to offend anyone and you're all acting like i slapped your mothers or something.

Sometimes the best strategy in a battle is to retreat.

Good idea :)

The wait is gonna kill me unless Amazon comes through with an early shipment. I hope they do!

Oh damn you have to wait until after Thanksgiving break :(

If you haven't played it just get Hotline Miami on Steam for a few bucks or something in the meantime >_>

Bestbuy had a sale where you could get the Live Card for regular $60, but with a $20 giftcard. But I missed that sale..would have been alright. Maybe there these will be around for awhile or have another sale?
 
That's ridiculous, what am i salty about?, persecution problem much?...

ROFL you can't just come to the Xbox One Launch thread, try to shit the thread then complain about persecution problem. Calling persecution problem is not a free trolling card.

Can you change the size and colors of the titles like on WP8?

Judging by your post history, you're quite active on the "anti xbox" threads & posts..
Don't act so holy..

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
That's ridiculous, what am i salty about?, persecution problem much?...

So we shouldn't joke about the resolution of some games because it makes the XB1 look bad, but at the same time you contend that we feel persecuted. Please go on, this is fascinating.

I gotta understand how this'll work out.

I don't have a set top box and simply get my tv channels through cable.

The HDMI and AUX cables are connected to the Receiver. Will I simply be able to direct the HDMI cable to the Xbox One IN port?

And can I change channels with my voice like saying "Xbox, change to channel 11"?
 
Yeah, of course you are. Hit and run trolling in an attempt to derail a thread discussing something you don't like. The classic sign of a shitposter.

How am i trolling?, do i need to explain my point again?, look... this thread is supposed to be hyping up the XBO, and yet the thread subtitle puts the spotlight on an issue that's currently bringing it down in a lot of people's eyes. I pointed out the fact that the thread title should be celebrating a positive aspect of the system... not a problem... is that so hard to understand?, should i be sent to trial?, should i contact my lawyer?

I thought you were 'out' bro?

I'm not one to walk away when they're throwing insults at me.

Man getting pumped now. I have no idea what game I will play first. I'm tempted to check out Killer Instinct since I never played the originals.

Really want to see how Ryse looks on the TV but then I love racing games so Forza. I think it's a great launch for the console in terms of games.

Quick question for 360, since I have never used cloud saves.
I need to move upstairs and don't have a configured USB. Do I need to log into the game first, or do I just enable the cloud and everything is uploaded on the HDD?

Is there a Microsoft store near to you? They have playable Xbox Ones already ^_^. Being hyped for the new Xbox feels so right.

Actually it is hard to understand. It's just a thread title and it's funny. This is not a big deal.

So what you're saying is that an innocent joke is flying miles above your head?

Anyone who posts on GAF with any regularity at all knows that the XBO is having a lot of launch titles at 720p. No one in here cares, however, and so it's not a problem for them. If it was, it is unlikely they would be purchasing.
