Well, they'll come together, so it's not an extra purchase - but it IS an extra expense as part of the overall cost

It's not that, it's that I don't want to talk or wave my hands around while using a console so on that point I'm out.

Itl be like the fifa pass where its tied to the console yet other accounts where the console is there home account allow the acccount to use it.I like the features and integration E3 will decide it for me personally. ive skipped the ps3 but will be eager to see what it has to offer this time round.Love the windows 8 feel to the system as well.

You don't have to use it. You just have to have it connected

No it won't

Kinect required to use it (even if bundled)
No backwards compatibility
No 2nd hand market



there's only one console I'm getting this year, and it's called the OUYA.

But connected for a reason I assume. If I don't have to use it why do I have to connect it.

Right now I'm waiting for E3 but MS have alot of convincing to do while Sony more or less have me sold on PS4 as an actual no messing about console.

What is the obsession these days with Kinect and playstation move. Now this new Xbox needs Kinect for it to work. Mg when will the stupidity end. I dont want to wave my hands around like I just dont care, I dont want to look like a moron.

Just give me a kick ass gaming machine with the old fashioned controller

I agree with this. When I want to play a game, it's because I'm being fundamentally lazy at that time. If I wanted to exercise, I'd go to the gym. If I wanted to swing a golf club, I'd go to a golf course. If I wanted to dance to terrible RnB music - unlikely - I'd go to the Wright Venue.

It's what worries me about the MS announcement about 15 original IP games. Half of them will probably be Kinect based. It's **** that they bought up a company like Rare and set them to making Kinect games.

Have to say, the PS4 is the more attractive of the two so far for me

Captain Chaos

Gamer tag, gamer score and avatar will carry over. XBL games will not, but movies will.

What's the thought process? Genuinely interested as I'm not leaning either way.

to be fair the console was announced an hour ago and details arent all clear.but like the always online rumour i think this is a result of more headline grabbing.Ms arent stupid they are marketing this as the centre of a familys living room.Key word being family there. The install will be tied to the console or MS would be killing there own console.

Why are they trying to force the kinect on us?

Keep the options open. I've a feeling MS will regret this.

Hi guys,

Can anyone give me a link to video of the announcement, Ithe only ones that I can find are the live ones. Couldn't watch it live and want to watch it. Thanks.

The approach to used games is the big one.
Not liking mandatory Kinect, I just want a console to play games. I've no real interest in all the additional Kinect stuff, I know you don't need to use it but I'm not after an all in one entertainment unit...I'm after a console.

The PS4, just seems more 'pure' given the info we have so far

The thing about the Kinect is that you don't have to use it. I have one here, got it for free, and have it hooked up but use the controller to do everything. I'm sure this will be the exact same for the XBox One. So you'll have to have it connected? Use the controller anyway. Options still open.

Surely they'll be scooping all this, ahem, *feedback*, and proceeding as such?

Is that not how these things work?

You're overestimating them

People said I was wrong about the entertainment functionality being the main focus. They said Microsoft wouldn't be that stupid. They're greedy, that'll drive everything

Can installs not be treated as they are now...a local licence & a profile licence?

I must be the only person in the world who cant wait for this.:P...even if it is just for Forza 5!

For me, the interface is more gamer geared on the PS4. The xbox is all about social, movies, TV, sports, music. I don't want any of that or to see any of that all over the place. I don't want to talk to my console or wave my arms around to get it work.

I just want a games console and now Sony have most if not all indie developers on board which MS didn't even acknowledge. Sony know their market now while MS want an all in one sitting room device that happens to be a console.

I was an Xbox fan but started to turn away after E3 last years and value I'm getting from PSN. Sony more or less have me now once I get the grips with this new dual shock pad, hope its more comfortable than the small dualshock we have now.
