If you're not willing to buy the current offerings and haven't played them, you can get a Gamefly gift card for $36.50. 2 games at a time for 3 months.
Xbox One- what would it take to get YOU to buy one ?

Ditto. I was planning on getting around to DR3 when I finish my current set of games, but now that it's out for PC I have no need. My brother has both a PS4 and a One and his One quite literally has dust on it. He says he's waiting for Halo MCC.
Sweet, i'm a night owl, so we can entertain each other. Tell me, what would it take for YOU to buy an xb1?
I'll go first. Forza. Yep Forza. I race in life, and many of my racer friends play Forza, So, I race with them and we have fun. Had Turn 10 somehow migrated to sony, I'd have gotten that system. Killer instinct sealed the deal though.
I'm not really expecting to have a reason to buy a Xbone in the near future. If devs DO end up supporting it I would buy one though.

I've looked into it, I'm going to buy MCC and SSOD, but that's about all for me this year, all my multiplats are on PS4. I'm just hoping MS get a move on with some first party games that interest me.
So why not just say "nothing, because I'm holding a grudge and I cant be arsed to actually answer the OP's question"?
You seem really aggressive towards people who answer the question honestly...
I'd suggest he dusts that XB1 but that really seems to piss some people off around here. lol.

Because if he sees an XB1 for $100 he would buy it, shit list be damned... ?

Agreed I think I'm outta here, it doesn't seem to be about honestly, but mocking others for not seeing things the same way.
I posted here before.
I'd buy it for Forza though. However, the Xbox One is very expensive where i live, and most of the people in this country owns a Sony console.
Xbox Live became available not so long ago, which makes difficult to find other users or people to play online.
Not always, I did complement the guy who made an intelligent post that made sense and was more than just, drm, I hate ms, ect ect.
And honestly, I'm not sure I've been nearly as aggressive to those posts as the replies I've gotten in response

I own one already but for me the biggest hindrance is the cruddy UI, needs a major overhaul imo. Metro needs to go. Using my 360 recently showed just how bad it is. Fix that and I'll gladly recommend it.
Thanks for repost, sometimes I respond to something in the first few pages and then get caught up being yelled at by people who don't like my opinions in later pages and kinda miss the ones in between.
Yea I can see how that would be a factor, the barren online. How expensive is it where you are? Obviously I'm an American, another reason to be hated I suppose.
Well stated.

This is a swift technique to hide the inner annoyance you have when someone says, "Console A is collecting dust."
I've seen it before. It didn't piss anyone off, it was just a sarcastic way to reply to something that is simply a form of expression lol.

Just about everything you mentioned are some problems I have with x1. I play games and use Netflix on my consoles that's it. I believe if x1 had the same gaming specs as ps4 with all the extras. It would have destroyed ps4 imo.
My friends and I feel like they gimped gaming performance, to be a all in one entertainment box. Majority of my friends were die hard 360 fans, 90% of them moved on to ps4.
No problem. Lol, no reason to be hated for that. In any case, i could say the same since i'am from Argentina.
People shouldn't place an entire nation in the same bag just because of a few.
As for the Xbox One is aproximatedly US$1100 to 1400 While the PS4 is US$900 to 1000 american dollars. I paid US$1100 because it came with Killzone + Infamous.
It's as if for some of you it isn't even about gaming anymore.
Xbox One is awesome IMO. Deal with it.
Do you game on PC at all? If so, I have a free something something for you.
EDIT: I pm'd you the code.
Oh yea, they fucked it up bad. The info given was terrible, the messenger was even worse. I still feel though that nobody really knew what it was we were all objecting too so vehemently.

I'm waiting for a price drop and better games. I actually don't even play my Ps4 as much either though, so meh.
Wow thats nutty. I cant imagine it. I cant think of one thing to hate about Argentina except for sending basketball players who flop too much to the States.

I've no idea why people have trouble accepting that some may have far fetched requirements over a consoles' features in order to buy it.
As if it was directly and personally affecting them the very existence of these ideas.

Hmmm, I need to see this more in Sony UI threads. Apparently it's not games for a lot of people as well, just saying.
For me.....it would be a proper and real revival of Rare 
.
Them making amazing new IP back to back like they did on the N64, new sequels of classic Rare IP (Banjo, Conker, Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemini), and them pushing the X1 to its knees like they did with the N64
.
This is very unrealistic and most likely will never happen, but that would be a nice push to get an X1. They already have my interest with Sunset Overdrive being an X1 exclusive (and the game being a grand return to the colorful and charming worlds Insomniac are famous for), so this will be the big push to get me to run out and buy one .
....Or, they could just make a proper Banjo and Conker game, that would do as well.

i think there're well-reasoned and logical responses why people don't want the bone. the emotional attachment seems to come from the bone's main defender in this thread, pcxb1ftw.

Yep there's a serious lack of gaming in my life. My 3DS, WiiU, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Vita, PC and iOS devices clearly aren't enough, I need to go right out and buy an Xbox One apparently.It's as if for some of you it isn't even about gaming anymore.

Seriously...
There is nothing MS can do to get me to buy an xbox right now.
But really of all the systems i currently have next to my tv, currently 2 are plugged in. Xbox and pc. (I think my third hdmi port broke last week
) But sony will have a system hooked up to my tv soon when i take my ps3 out of the closet and play xillia2.
Because I already have one

He doesn't like what I like so he must have emotional and irrational hatred and he must "deal with it"...
You're not a gamer if you don't have all the consoles that I like, buy Xbone or deal with it.

lol...@neogafshitposts blowing up my twitter feed and all from the same dude.
tbh i think the era of buying more than one console is over for me. most of my friends are on ps4 or still on last-gen. marriage and kids also = less and less playing time. maybe they will return to the fold once their kids get older...but i have a feeling they won't
not really interested in having to buy another console just to play halo as well as another online subscription to play halo online. so i guess in the end maybe if there were some "game of the generation" level single player exclusives i just might pick one up.

Where is this? Most people are making reasoned discussion. Just because you disagree does not make it irrational hatred.

Why can't I not like or trust a company based on the product they were trying to put out? There's nothing emotional or irrational about it. These are the facts:
The Xbox One originally required a 24 hour online check in and would have restricted consumer's rights to rent or borrow games, buy used games and sell, trade, lend or give away their games.
Not to mention the other facts of the case, such as it was never intended to target high end graphics (their words), NFL or TV TV TV all of which left a real bad taste in my mouth.
But I did answer it. I'm sorry if you didn't like my answer!
Yea its not really about if i like or dislike it, I'm just trying to understand the mindset that makes someone say things like "nobody said it had to be realistic".
Yes, this is true, although, its not really a stretch to think that the OP was looking for realistic answers. There were even people who managed to give them.
The key word is "originally." You're acting like it still does have that DRM, hence being irrational.

Hey if I was being really unrealistic I would have said, 'if they gave one to me for free'. $100 was a compromise!
I'm not acting like it still does. I just have a good memory and I'm not good at forgiveness.

I don't think you could get me to buy either of these new consoles. Cheap laptop APU's just don't cut it.
A console used to be a powerhouse, not a cop-out. Even the 360 was great at launch.
Times have changed, and nothing is as good as it could or should be. They're just in it to take as much money as they can, while delivering as little as possible. Pathetic.
Even PC cards aren't delivering the performance they could be.
Not to mention, the software isn't there either. I bought a PS2 for FF X, and it was totally worth it. What compares to that now?

Matter of fact, I was the one called names, I think If I'm honest I did call that guy a fanboy afterward, but that was after he called me one, on top of douchebag, so I think that's only fair.

Long term? More games, slightly lower price.
Immediately? Announce new Jet Set Radio. I will throw money at it so hard.

When "disagree with me" become "emotional and irrational"? I guess people have different opinions.

I know a lot of people that were extreme 360 fanboys last generation. Who at this point in time want nothing to do with x1. Isn't it possible that Microsoft didn't deliver what some people expected?
Ultimately people need to put more blame on Microsoft. Not people who decided the x1 isn't for them. I personally loved 360 last gen, I feel no obligation to buy x1. My decision wasn't based on emotion,and is completely rational.
Since when were consoles powerhouses? They've always been the lesser when it comes to hardware, first to arcade machines, I guess they rivaled early home computers but that passed pretty quickly, and since then if you really wanted optimium performance you didn't buy a console. You bought a console because it was cheap and easy and had fun games even if they weren't bleeding edge.
now consoles arent cheap or easy.
