If I was getting harassed by someone from a website called furiousfanboys.com, I would block them too. You already know they have an agenda. You would think they were just trying to rile people up to make a name for themselves. Why would you want to help a site out like that, who wants to play you like a fool?

If you're wrong, you're wrong.  I don't blame anyone from blocking if being harassed, but this Jeremy person was doing nothing wrong, and Chris should have just admitted to the mistake.  So maybe Chris was the fool.

 

Edit: Chris called Jeremy "wierd" and a "creep" when all Jeremy was doing was asking if he had lied while backed himself with facts.  Go figure.

Calling someone a liar, a person you don't even know, the first thing you ever say to them, will not lead to a civil conversation. You have already put that person into defense mode and a reply to you may not be the most kind. Jeremy set the tone for this whole childish conversation. Yes, I do believe they both were childish.

Crhis apparently wanted to talk up the IR capabilities of the Xbox One, but then started comparing it to PS4 not having IR and generalized IR remotes into all remotes. He started talking without thinking. His tweet is true though. IR is not the same as HDMI-CEC. You will be able to use it on a certain type of TV. In HDMI-CEC you are pretty much using the TV to send signals back to the PS4 with the remote. You will lose that functionality if you take your PS4 with you somewhere else, since it requires the TV. If you had a truly independent IR remote, all you would need is the remote to take along. Want to take the PS4 in your car and hook it up to the car mounted monitors, you won't have access to that remote anymore. Don't believe me? Try it. That same Sony remote you were just using int he house will not work in your car monitor.
