Well last night sure was interesting, amirite? But for good or bad, there’s one thing that the Xbox One reveal did right: It created discussion. Discussion that we haven’t had in years now. And I’m happy because of such vigorous master debating, yes I am.

In Other News: Thief heads to the Xbox One, Battlefield 4 goes to China, a bear stares, EA has Star Wars plans and Superman fires his lazer eyes.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because none of you paid the pre-browsing fee to read it.

    EDIT:

    Oh no, she looks cold & wet, I’d better go offer her my jacket. I am, after all, a gentleman.

        How can I put “I used my phone to search at work and it turned out safe, while my re-Google at home brought up the ION as the second result and was still relatively safe!!” into question form?

    In related current news… with all the updates on the Xfail Zero… I will probably be going Playstation in future and avoiding the Xfail Zero like the plague, but keeping my 360 for a while :P. Games fixed to account, having to connect to live once a day, etc… they can keep it.

      Honestly, why does this bother everyone when the thing hasn’t even launched?
      It used to bother me, then I got addicted to steam.

        Because I happen to be a fan of the 360… even with its flaws, but I love the Fable franchise (except for The Journey) and that’s not available on PS3 and only 2 are available on PC. I wouldn’t have some of the games I have if it wasn’t for places like BT Games or GameXchange, as I can take a clocked or unplayed game and trade it in for another, or sometimes two others… but now, with fixing games to account, you won’t get half the amount for the games as the person that buys it will have to pay for it twice, once at the shop, and once to M$.

        It makes no sense, to me, to do something stupid like that.

        But lets see what they do, and if they grow brains and stop their stupidity in future, I doubt it, but we’ll see……

        Oh and another reason is because I don’t have a working gaming pc.

        My PSU died, and I can’t afford to replace it at the moment… and my laptop died, and I can’t afford to fix or replace that either… so no Steam for me

    What a tiring day, juggling work and commenting is tough !:P with all the negativity , let’s look forward to E3! Things seem bleak but do not give hope! Let’s try and forget it all and enjoy our glorious hobby! G’day to you all, it’s been real.

    I still can’t believe that I’ve commented this much on a console that I will not get, but then again I am a sucker for a good debate, even if the material being debated is a bit flawed.

    I’m sure after E3 there will be a far clearer picture of where the different consoles lie.
