Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One; Blunders Compilation

I hope to god the hardware is reliable this time around at launch. Ugh, between buying one and a extended warranty my wallet is gonna die.



It's just that simple.

Somebody in GAF made a list with all the issues in the Xbone reveal.

- Forced online activation for all games
- Complex used games system that is anti consumer
- Charged fee for playing used games on non linked profile
- Console that needs to be connected to internet every 24 hours to play games
- Very few games shown at the event
- Massive emphasis on TV, services and non game related stuff
- Rumoured (relatively weak) hardware confirmed
- DDR3 confirmed instead of GDDR5
- Only 5GB of the 8GB ram available for games (a whopping 3GB reserved for the OS)
- No self publishing for games
- Epic PR disaster with conflicting reports from Microsoft and it's heads
- Xbox support on twitter going AWOL
- Microsoft's failed attempts to correct PR with contradicting FAQ's, vague responses, misinformation, lies etc
- Live TV available in US only at launch, requires separate device
- Lots of announced services are for US only
- Kinect needed to be plugged in for Xbox One to function
- Over emphasis on Kinect
- Always watching and on Kinect is a tad creepy
- Xbox One having non-replaceable Hard Drive's
- COD Ghosts not looking that great (and the only game that had actual direct gameplay shown)
- Xbox One not being backwards compatible with the 360
- Only HDMI for output, leaving people unable to use composite or component cables
- Console quite large whilst still also using quite a large external power brick
- Xbox One being called Xbox One...
- And more...?

The problem with 60% of that list is that it is purely objective. Those all may be problems for you, but most of them for me either aren't a big deal, won't effect me, or are actually positives.

And are you guys seriously going to start calling it the "Xbone"? >_>



"3. Controller still uses AA batteries, meaning you need to go buy your own rechargeables or dock"

u have GOT to be kidding me. I cant even...



Microsoft themselves are trolling the Xbox 3 harder than I possibly could. They just can't be serious. Do they even want to sell that thing?

Yeah, and where is the positive list? I have heard mostly negatives, but someone should compile a positive list too.

You mean subjective

Xbone is better than Xbox One...

Not good so far... well Microsoft have the E3 yet.

Anyway the box is HUGE and UGLY.

what are the dimensions of the one box?  i mean it really does look huge but i dont think its no wider or taller than the slim looks more in depth which can be a problem for small shelves
