the first thing is the fact that when me and my friend hooked it up, we learned that we couldnt do SHIT without xbox live. i understand, the paywall with the apps and all that is going to go away, but really, how could anybody who had an xbone before that support it? its absolutely ridiculous, but i understand that this point shouldnt count anymore. besides that, the kinect is absolutely useless (i got one with kinect because i am also a collector and i like things that are original) and it feels like a huge waste of 500 dollars. i also should say that i work at a local video game store and i bought this thing by colleting our defective stuff and trading it to gamestop and in about three months, i had enough for the xbone, so for me, its not a huge loss, but i dont understand how this thing could be worth it to ANYBODY who has a normal job and a normal life. how does this thing sell at all? you need xbox live in order to do anything with it and that is bullshit, seriously. microsoft really wants you to pay an extra fee just to do basic things on their console. it doesnt make any sense to me. it also takes forever to start the damn thing. you have to wait literally 90 seconds after turning it on to start using it. i dont know, i did want one, but now that i have it, i just feel like its completely and utterly useless. i would ONLY buy this console for the games. if youre not interested in any games for it, dont even bother. we can continue this discussion, i do want to hear counter arguments. i downloaded killer instinct with it, and am very disappointed that its not a full retail game. the game sucks and it shouldnt. its a huge shame. so far, everything with xbone is a huge disappointment. i dont even know what to do with it. |
1. You ranted about a paywall that is going away, making the full rant meaningless. Xbox Live has been around for 12 years, anyone who knows Xbox knows about Xbox Live and the paywall.
2. You bought a Kinect bundle knowing that you don't like Kinect, and that there's a Kinectless bundle for $399 for pre-order.
3. People with normal jobs can afford $60 a year. Its not a fortune.
4. Why did you buy it if you didn't have enough money/interest for the games+Xbox Live?
