    Successful marketing is successful. My TV does what xbox can do except gaming. Tell him instead of investing on the xbox get one of those android TV thingies.

    Sorry to bring some realness into this but...

    Its just a big spy box for big brother to keep tabs on their zombies. Wake up people. The military says its hacking game consoles, and now you MUST have a camera and internet access at all times (last i heard). Drink your fluoride, eat your GMO, get your shots and play your xbox. Bill Gates murders and paralyzes kids (47,000 last i heard). And a direct quote from Gates: "the world today has 6.8 billion people. Thats headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really graet job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent." Now he either wants to cap population, or reduce population. Id argue the later, but either way, he wants to end life. And why, cuz your farts are bad for the earth, or theres too many people. Its called Eugenics, and its what the Nazis TOOK FROM US and used in mass extermination. Hitler used a hard kill (bullets and tanks) and now they use soft kill (poison and slow death) because they hate life. They grip us with fear so they can steal our liberties, and dumb us down to control us like sheep. Get your head out of your asses and wake up to the world around you.

    Games are fun, and can be awesome tools of learning, teaching and entertainment, but dont let them turn it against us, and be happy theyre doing it.

    For overpopulation see overpopulationisamyth.com
    for Global warming checkout climatdepot.com
    for the infowar check out infowars.com
    for black folks (but really everyone), watch the film Maafa 21. you can find it on youtube. Learn something with power. Whats the number 1 killer of black people? I bet you dont know, and wouldnt even think about it. And when you tell black people what it is, they get real sad.

    I know, im retarded and crazy, even though you see everyday the ramp up of the police state, and the ever continuing erosion of our liberties. While banksters rule your country, you die from ignorance and fear. We love life, and they who are syphilitic inbred satanic psychos, are trying to kill us all off, and were all going along with it cuz they keep us dumb zombies. Zombies ARE REAL, they are brain dead lifeless hollow shells that the system plans on being stupid. Dont be. Callem out on it and stand your ground. Whats the number one unnatural death of people 21st century? Answer, Democide. The act of government killing its people. crazy huh? thought itd be tsunamis or earthquakes. Nope, its governments that kill you. 260 million, and not counting military numbers.

    Look through a "Historical Lens": Blueprint of Madmen Breaks down the numbers to show the most likely causes of death, and its not terrorists.

    how many people chew gum, or drink diet soda? aspartame (sweetener) is genetically modified e coli doodie. High Fructose Corn Syrup (soda) has mercury. BPA (plastics) Is a fake estrogen. Brominated Vegetable Oil (mt dew n others) is a flame retardant. GMO (all the food you eat) gives you cancer, and a thousand other problems. Sodium Fluoride (your water n toothpaste) is a nuclear byproduct poison, thats horrible, because you actually need CALCIUM fluoride for your teeth.

    sorry i got off topic, but im really not off, cuz its a spybox, just like they want in everyone cars, then itll be inplants in your body, after their Googleass beta test.

    They think youre scum and you need to die. At the least, they think youre unworthy to have kids and must control us. Seen/Read Nineteen Eighty Four? "We must eviscerate the orgasm."

    “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” - Benjamin Franklin, Memoirs of the life & writings of Benjamin Franklin

    Uhh, if Microsoft is going to kill every user that buys a One, suddenly I hope it's successful....
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    this is something that annoys me when school teachers choose to foolishly say otherwise. far as zombies go, looks like Word War Z will be out in theaters before long.

    THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLING. Seriously, that's what 99% of your post comes down to. Lay off the "we know da secrets of da fedz" websites.

    Whats the number 1 killer of black people? I bet you dont know, and wouldnt even think about it.
    Other black people. THE HORROR.
    "I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"

    Microsoft have given us a clearer picture as to what expect regarding the Xbox One's DRM. And it's not pretty!

    • You do not own the games you buy. You license them.
    • Discs are only used to install and then license games and do not imply ownership.
    • People can play games installed on your console whether you're logged in or not.
    • 10 people can be authorised to play these games on a different Xbox One via the cloud, but not at the same time, similar to iTunes authorised devices.
    • Publishers decide whether you can trade in your games and may charge for this.
    • Publishers decide whether you can give a game you own to someone for free, and this only works if they have been on your friends list for 30 days.
    • Your account allows you to play the games you license on any console.
    • Your Xbox One must connect to the internet every 24 hours to keep playing games.
    • When playing on another Xbox One with your account, this is reduced to one hour.
    • Live TV, Blu-ray and DVD movies are exempt from these internet requirements.
    • Loaning and renting games will not be possible at launch, but Microsoft is "exploring the possibilities".
    • Microsoft may change these policies or discontinue them at any point.

    I will not be buying a PS4 or Xbox One, I will probably eventually give in and buy a Wii U.... Nintendo might be behind the times but this is one generation where I don't mind.

    Yeah, this is looking pretty nasty - one thing is for sure though, Microsoft will drag people into the future kicking and screaming no matter what. The only thing about the trade/reselling issue that may save some grief is that it's left up to the game publisher, not M$. I'm guessing no one will really want to play the bad guy at first, except maybe EA (especially since they just got rid of online passes, and we all know they didn't do it out of the kindness of their heart).
    Oh well - I'll do like I did with the 360 and buy an Xbone a solid year after it's initial release when they get some decent exclusives, if they do. I don't really care about the system needing an internet connection - I know that alone is the death knell for a lot of people, but really.... who doesn't have internet these days? Even if you have a shitty connection, that should still be fine since all this system is doing is just checking your games and saving in the cloud. Crap internet can stay connected for the 15 minutes this will take out of your day I also don't give a twit about trade ins and used games either - I know i'm in the minority, especially on this site, but I've been ready for a digital future anyway. Almost everything I've purchased in the last year has been digital, minus a handful of titles, and I don't buy used games anyway. Since I don't have physical copies, I have nothing to trade either I just hope they'll start a new pricing structure to promote digital purchases - they still shouldn't be the same price as a boxed copy....

    In the end, all I really see any of this doing is damaging the rental market. Gamefly will take a hit, and so will the local video chains as well - games tend to be a good money maker in the rental industry. The Xbone will still sell even though the odds are stacking against it, but just remember this - all those millions and millions of Call of Duty players that play on 360 will migrate to this system. Yes, you're "hardcore gamer" will most likely make the switch to a PS4 or strictly go PC, but the true "hardcore" gamer is really the minority these days. I've said it before and I'll say it again - there are a LOT of people who own an Xbox just for CoD games, even though they aren't exclusive. It's almost like Wii Sports - casual people bought the Wii because that game came with it and it was the cool thing to do. They've played a handful of games at most ever since that initial purchase.

    im actually one of those who hates selling games, thats why i like digital. cant sell them, but when the servers go down for said system you cant get it anymore.
