XboxOne Console

[Deucalion]

Who's getting it or not getting it and why? I'm impressed with what I have learned about it and would like to see your input about it. Good or bad. Feel free to add to this.

Up's:
Cable TV integration looks pretty cool. I like this feature. I have questions though. Will this replace a cable box? Does it actually have a HD Cable tuner in it? I don't need two cable boxes.
Device integration (Cell phone, Tablets, etc.)
Smart Glass expanding more than 360
Cloud integration

Down's:
No Game Sharing

The new xbox is going to kill the xbox name. Plain and simple. Microsoft and the xbox name have been getting greedier and greedier with each release, and this one just goes way to far over the top as far as limitations.

I don't even want to get into the hard specifics because it's just so stupid, but Sony has won the console war. (not to mention the actual cost of the consoles)

Requiring you to connect to the internet every 24 hours or you can't play? (it cuts out after 1 hour if you are on someone else's console) Sorry. But this could be the best system in the world and J's you off with laser beams somehow, but that one singular limitation out of the many would be enough to kill it.

Let's just think real quick of the real world implementation of (essentially) an hourly internet connection requirement for using another system. Doesn't seem like a big deal at first. But what are xbox's known for? That's right. Breaking. What if your xbox breaks? Buy a new one. Cool, but unless you've got a 100% stable internet connection, and yes even in 2013 MILLIONS of people don't, your gonna have to start all your games over (or just be lucky enough to play for an hour every time you do connect to the internet).

Only being able to lend each game to one friend that has to be on your list for 30 days? Another nail.

Hopefully this chart will further emphasize my point, sorry I couldn't fit it on the screen at once, so have to use SS's.

Only one reason: I don't like XBOX, period. Lol

Wow cush, thanks for that. I wanted negative feedback so I can see everything before I buy...Tell me, Sony have the same features?

PS3 is better for me.. I just, feel comfortable with it :P
Xbox 360 is much weaker and it offers you less of course it doesn't has wi-fi antenna neither,also PS3 have a blu-ray player.

XboxOne has all those upgrades and more. I don't deny the down's that come with it, but they don't seem to affect me, as I'm not a hardcore console gamer. I use them more for entertainment units and other family members game with it... I'm still going with the Xbox here... Until I'm sold otherwise..

Oki doki!

PS4 is going to be $100 cheaper and won't have the ridiculously restrictive DRM of the xbone. The Halo diehards will still buy it, but I think Microsoft's hubris will cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost market share and sales.

Here's a couple illustrative videos:

Damn! Here's my problem. I have two other Xbox fans in this house... The reason for this post was to get other people to not only sway me, but to sway them. To be quite honest, I kinda want the PS4. I was hoping for some overwhelming evidence and Dawn just posted it... Wow. If you don't have internet, stick with the 360?? I don't have the words...
As far as the sharing is concerned... That is the major part of the PS4 experience I like. Especially with 3 kids and one wallet.

I'm pulled in both directions... We'll see. Going to read up more on the PS4

I'm a massive Xbox 360 fan, Deuc. I love the Halo Series, the stability with xbox live, and just generally I liked the console more than the PS3. With that being said, I am going with the PS4 over the Xbox One, and that's the bottom line. It has much more to offer, sharing games, backwards compatability, no silly camera that can turn on whenever it wants...it's just going to be a better system in my honest opinion.
