Yeah, I have a confession to make. After I got one my PS2 collected a lot of dust with the likes of The Chronicles of Riddick, Ninja Gaiden, Halo, KotOR I & II, Fable, Otogi, Jade Empire, Morrowind, Advent Rising, etc. It absolutely became my favorite console and I'm not ashamed to say it.

Of course things changed with the new generation and the PS3 eventually became my favorite console this past time around. Who knows how it will play out this time, but I have been swayed slowly but surely into wanting to pick up the Xbox One first because of the games and features. Never thought it would play out that way considering how things started, but it is what it is.


The original Xbox was also my favorite console as well. I started out with the Gamecube, then got an Xbox when Knights of the Old Republic came out, which was an eye opener for me, never stopped playing it till the 360 came out.

That is what a proper launch lineup looks like.

I really hope for KI to get good scores, mostly fo exposure, a meaty community between old fans and new peeps is what this game needs the most

I really wish X1 supported a slingplayer streaming over internet solution just because I am forced to drop sling player because of the HDMI input :(

hell, I'd accept it even if restricted to local network (tablets)

that kind of feature would be killer.


Because of the one HDMI input on the XB1? If so, getting an HDMI matrix switch would maybe solve your issues.

Roger's Cable>>>>>SWITCH INPUT 1
Sling >>>>>>>>>>>>SWITCH INPUT 2>>>>>>>>>Xbox One>>>>>>>TV

The only problem is, you'd have to switch inputs on the matrix switch unless you get one that auto-detects the input.

You first need to accept my friend request so we can play (read - mash) together. Italy<>Austria connection should be good ;D

Just got back from Best Buy. Turned that $100 gift card from an old 360 into $75 amazon credit and price matched Walmart for the Charge and Play kit down to $19.99. Hoping for Amazon to offer a B2G1 for Xbox One games tomorrow or Tuesday.

But why have 12 Xboxes? This is what I don't understand.

Unless, you were going somewhere....with more TVs.
Very suspicious I'd say, that policeman was right to pull you over.


I remember the first of the Halo gang had imported a US machine , then bit by bit all of us did. The biggest problem was buying TVs that were 60hz compatible. My weird friend , who spent most of his 30s grooming teenagers to play Halo LAN with him had 4 TVs and US imported machines to help his cause.

I couldn't play with him any more because all he would do was bitch about Bungie constantly because they made the dual wield pistols in Halo 2 awful with that first TU.
Also , my extensive online Play made me much much much better than him and his LAN friends.

There was only so much I could take of his homebrew Halo 2 maps, which often involved strange teleporter based puzzles to reach a giant stockpile if power weapons.

OH!! Those were the days ;______; i remember going with my buddies, carrying TV's, consoles and other buddies to a dance salon or other location to play.

"playing" dumb? unpossible
Just got the call from my EB Games. I'll have a Day #1 console with Forza 5:LE, waiting for me when I get back from school on Friday.

We need a Rainbow Six 3 HD. Real bad. A realistic community online first person shooter.

Besides, I think I'm only gonna get NBA 2K14 until Titanfall launches. Depends a bit on this weeks reviews.

Managed to snag a Day One console bundle with Forza and an extra controller through Gamestop online today. I must have Crimson Dragon, Killer Instinct, and Dead Rising 3! Anyone know of a good deal to get an Xbox Live Gold subscription?

Went to Best Buy last night to see if they had a PS4 kiosk set up that I could play around with. No such luck, but they did have stacks of Xbox One controllers so I picked one up. I really just wanted to hold one in my hand. It feels really great.

Now I have half a mind to send this one out to one of those modding companies and get it painted white like the ones Microsoft employees get on day one. Does anybody have any experience with those places?

I'm surpised there's not a Sega game at launch, they tend to always have something. Not even Monkey Ball.

Crimson Dragon might as well be Panzer Dragoon 4 from what I've read, so there's that. I wish Sumo would have released the PC version of Sonic Racing Transformed for $20.
 
They are busy with Wii U...
Yeah they backed the right horse there.

I'm torn, I want to get Forza because it will almost certainly be the best launch title and everyone I know who's played it raving about it. But I also want NFS Rivals because I love me some NFS. I just dunno if I want to get two racing launch titles, different as they are.

Yeah, things change with gamers all the time. I was primarily Nintendo, then Sony, then Microsoft. As I get older though, I can afford to use all of them and in recent years it's mostly been Xbox. Looking at how awesome the Xbox One line up is (to me at least), it's likely that I'll stick with Xbox as my primary gaming console. Who knows how I'll feel 2 years from now, though. One major factor is that Sony first party continues to be wholly unappealing. I'm curious to see if they can change that this gen.

Forza is so awesome. But we did have a few fun rounds playing NFS back in the day too :p

My buddy owns one of the biggest. They've got a ridiculously expensive imaging machine for custom controllers and consoles. The results are always pretty great:

They're already experimenting with Xbox One controllers, so I'm sure they'd be willing to do it.
