    You'll still have Playstation membership for online play. But you will get some pretty sweet monthly free games, that Microsoft has yet to start matching. As of now the yearly Playstation Plus membership (equivalent of Xbox Live Gold) is $50/year now but could potentially be $60 within the next year.

    For me, it's not the money that bugs me so much . .. although it does bug me when I don't enjoy the system.

    I just want a system I can turn on and start playing games in the next couple of minutes. I think Xbox knows this and fucks with me every chance it gets. :)


    And if they are going to have all these additional features and functions, make it easy to use . . . OK I'll stop now.

    Oh you can go to Gamestop, Best buy, Fred Meyer, Target ect. and buy XBox Live or PS+ memberships or points and that way you don't have to put your credit card info in the system. They give you a code to put in the system.

    Yessir. Giant Bomb is a great one. Their sometimes 20 min rants on Bombcast usually have me literally lol'ing... which is kinda embarrassing when just walking down the street or on an elliptical at the gym.

    It's very user friendly imo. I say Xbox on, it turns on my TV, cable box and xbox all at once and signs me in at the same time. I'm generally at the home screen within 10-15 seconds of when I say the command. the xbox one home page is very simple and very easy to get back into your games. That was more of a 360 issue. The home screen layout is:
    [​IMG] Once there the big main box is whatever you were last doing and the 5 boxes below that are the last 5 games/apps/tv whatever you were using last basically. to the right is the store and to the left is your pins, where you can put anything you like. I have my game library there as well as a few commonly used apps but it is much quicker just to navigate with the kinect. As a UI device the kinect shines. It does a fantastic job of drowning out the noise from the TV and listening for commands, which was a major problem of the kinect on the 360.

    Not my experience at all. But you give me hope that I might master the thing . . . just last night I thought about playing but didn't want to hassle with it. I did finally have to stop inputting my password each time as it now recognizes me by video . . . so I'm getting there.

    thanks. You have to think that would widen the gap a bit, being how they already have a stronghold on that territory. Although I'm not sure if Japan is more mobile (3ds) than console.

    The South Park game looks really good, going to have to preorder it.

    As for Titanfall, i just played several matches of the PC beta, and it isn't bad either. Playing as the Titans is great, but there are some hilarious bots in the matches that seem to serve no other purpose than to make bad players feel better about themselves because they aim about as well as Stormtroopers, lol. I think the same company that did the MGS HD Collection is doing the 360 version, so if you want to try it out Wheels, that version will probably not be horrible.
