No I put a ? because I remember I read the article. I know the Xbox one is not available in NL so that is why I thought they are maybe sending broken/defective Xbox one's for repair to NL. And yes you are right their is probably not a big issue with Xbox one.

what you don't know is the NSA is wise to your monitoring shenanigans so they dont really record with the kinect instead after the intergalactic civil war on the planet Grutahn the US government offered the fleeing Grutanish refugees safe haven on our planet but our oxygen levels makes them invisible so actually every time an xbone barcode is scanned the NSA deploys a Grutanian reporter who follows you home and reports everything back to the NSA via telepathy.

if you want to enjoy the awesome gaming on xbone the only way to safely enjoy it is in a steam room as the steam will not only reveal the outline of the Grutanian imposter but the steam actually interferes with the antenna that protrudes from their head which establishes telepathic connections. the TV show my favorite martian was actually a biography on these beings after a man accidentally locked one in his bathroom following a steamy shower. he held it captive and eventually became his lover.

so now you know the truth, be careful out there with kinect

Mmm return the ps4 after playing knack

On a more serious note this is a cool video I guess, but it's just one mans unlucky experience, and his opinions. Also as others have noted, he apparently already bought a new Xbone, well before Halo 5 or the dropping of Kinect, so he must like something about it.

He complained about the controller. I have been a huge fan of the Xbox controller ever since it came out and was like an extension of the Dreamcast controller. And speaking of Dreamcast, it sucks that he had bad luck with hardware, but that happens at launch. When I got my Dreamcast I went through multiple units thanks to shorted out controller ports and fault CD ROM drives. I am glad I didn't overreact and return it for good, I'd have missed out on the best console ever imho.

I can understand his complaints about the OS and UI, if he is someone who as he admits, owns MULTIPLE gaming PC's and uses Windows 8 all the time there. I am coming off 7, so the tile stuff is new to me. I enjoy it greatly. And with some of the design changes they made with the last couple updates, it's even better.

I have no complaints about Kinect, either. While I can agree with him that it sucks for people who have 0 interest in Kinect to be forced to buy it, I also understand it's in MS's best interests to include it in mandatory. To me it's no different than Sony making BR mandatory on PS3. It jacked up the price and some saw it as worthless for games (myself included). As far as Kinect goes, I have enjoyed using it to browse around the console and accomplish things while not holding the controller. I can control Netflix or the television while in the kitchen cooking, without having to stop to find and use the controller. It's great. I guess I can see his point about the Dead Rising 3 shaking element to break free of zombies holds, but at the same time, there are cool elements, like talking to bosses, and luring zombies somewhere with your voice. And Kinect Fitness is awesome. Only used it a few times so far but it's great.

I don't know that I could ever whine about a console doing "too much". That's just fucking stupid. I really wonder why he bought another Xbone, he seems like he won't be happy with it.

I bought the store warranty before MS extended their warranty to 3 years. Glad I did, had I not I'd have to had boughten a second console.

MS doesn't send "new" consoles to replace old ones unless you specifically ask for one (which I did the 2nd time they replaced my console). They sent you a refurbished unit.

Bought my 360 in 2007, so all this happened in 2007-2010. MS replaces your console with the high fail rate first gen console, not the HDMI console (even if you ask for it), so.... :-/ Complete shit service, all in an effort to reduce fail rate #'s. Thing is, except for the 1st console to break, my other systems didn't have RRoD. One just wouldn't play online/DLC, the other kept freezing (and was likely on its way to RRoD)

My 4th console right now, does freeze ocassionally. That last UI update bricked the console for a week, but then it started booting again. I might have to buy a 5th console, might not, but I am buying all my leftover multiplatform games on PS3 in fear of it breaking. Only have a handful of exclusives left to beat.

After all the shit I went through with my 360 I can tell you that I agree with this video. Not going to buy an XB1 until they

-Make a Kinect Free Model (Can't even use Kinect in my small apartment)
-Release Halo or an exclusive worth owning the system for
-3 years to se how reliability holds up, maybe get a Slim model as I hear the current console is massive.

Same with PS4, I've had 1st gen PS1-3's all break on me, but all my PS consoles were launch models, which are the least reliable, and they still lasted 5/8/5 years respectively (My 1st PS3 was a refurbished launch model which I bought off a friend). Not getting a PS4 for a year or two.

If anything, he was just so unlucky

So true.

lol BS

Can't record Blu-Rays? So anti-piracy features are bad now?

Better online? It's the exact same. If anything the PS+ community is better since there are 2x as many PS4 gamers

Kinect, Games....okay so he prefers XB1's features/games. What does this have to do with the PS4?

Controller? Says both are good LOL.....

Seems like this guy can only afford one, and he prefers the XB1. So what? People have preferences.

1. How exactly did you check? This is what microsoft told me, I know my first console was used because it had black scuff marks on the outside, and I asked why they sent me a refurbihed console.

2. I think one day they will make a Kinect free system. If not, my PC is about as powerful as the XB1, so I won't be missing out on much.

1. If you had a working 360, why did you replace it with a slim one (burglar stole a broken system).

2. Still, the fact that your XB1 already had a malfuction, causing you to replace your Kinect. Doesn't that bug you? I mean yes issues do happen with consoles within warranty, but I keep hearing a lot of XB1's already being sent for repairs. PS4 too, Sony isn't perfect, but Nintendo . Never had an issue (but I did hear some people had disk issues with their Wii's/WiiU's).

Dammit, if I knew it was RTU I wouldn't have clicked on this thread.
