And worth the wait.Battlefield 4 presentation stalled. Oops.
One model only I believe. At least as far as anyone knows so far.I wonder what comes with the $499 model... are they gonna have multiple versions of it or just one? Different sized hard drives?
A new model of the Xbox 360 was just revealed on stage by Yusuf Mehdi. It's inspired by the Xbox One design, and is available today!
Along with the announcement, Xbox Live Gold is being upgraded to a PlayStation Plus-style model, with two free games per month through the release of the One. First up: Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed 2. New and current XBL Gold members will get the games for free, to keep, starting July 1.
I wonder of Xbox online will be free.. Like PS3 is?
I don't mean to laugh AT you, but there's no way that MSFT is going to give up that cash cow.It probably won't. It'll be more like the PS3 pay online service "Playstatin Plus". See Andy Dufresne's response above yours.I wonder of Xbox online will be free.. Like PS3 is?
I thought the B4 demo looked great, but I'm looking forward to some multiplayer footage also.Disappointed in the Battlefield 4 demo. They were supposed to show the first multiplayer demo during the Microsoft presser, but wound up showing a single player demo. Looked good, but I want to see a multiplayer demo.
I wasn't sure about Titanfall until the gameplay footage. Could be a system seller. It looked really good.
will a person keep these games for play on XBoxOne or is it kind of like pushing out inventory at the end of the life cycle knowing it won't sell much anymore once the new thing is out?Just a related note:

I said what I said about the Battlefield 4 demo because the majority of Battlefield 4 players don't even touch the single player. That's also the case with FBG Battlefield players. I think I'm the only Battlefield 3 PC player here that admitted to playing the campaign. I agree that it looked great, but when only 5% of the player base even touches it, focus on the multiplayer like the old days (when a single player Battlefield meant playing against bots).I thought the B4 demo looked great, but I'm looking forward to some multiplayer footage also.Disappointed in the Battlefield 4 demo.

They won't be able to run on XBOX One without tons of work. That's the problem with backwards compatibility, no matter how many people don't get it. So if I had to guess I'd say they're only playable on XBOX 360.will a person keep these games for play on XBoxOne or is it kind of like pushing out inventory at the end of the life cycle knowing it won't sell much anymore once the new thing is out?Just a related note:

I wonder if my XBL acct will transfer to XB1
Pretty much exactly what I expected. It will be interesting to see if the PS4 comes in lower, say $399.$499 is a little higher than what I expected.
So they're giving a 6 year old game and a 4 year old game to people who are paying them a monthly fee for the next few months?They won't be able to run on XBOX One without tons of work.

You can keep the games forever, on your 360 console. You don't need to be online to use them once they're downloaded. They are 360 classics, and if you haven't played them, or sold them to GameStop, or whatever, you can add them to your game library.They didn't have to do this, and it's awesome that they did. It doesn't have to be impressive. It's just a cool thing to do.So they're giving a 6 year old game and a 4 year old game to people who are paying them a monthly fee for the next few months?They won't be able to run on XBOX One without tons of work.

That's really not all that impressive...
I'd say that it's 40% likely that the PS4 comes in higher. ~$599Pretty much exactly what I expected. It will be interesting to see if the PS4 comes in lower, say $399.$499 is a little higher than what I expected.

$499 isn't crazy high or anything. I was thinking more like $399 or $449, or at least a couple of SKUs with one at a lower price point.Pretty much exactly what I expected. It will be interesting to see if the PS4 comes in lower, say $399.$499 is a little higher than what I expected.
They have the advantage of nostalgia. Popping the cartridge in gives me a better feeling than clicking a file on my pc.http://www.emulator-zone.com/ Can get emulators for pretty much all systems up to the PS2/Xbox generation. Apparently there is even one for PS3, but I would not mess with it. As far as the games go, you will have to search for those on your own. Torrent sites usually have a large batch of games in one zip file - especially when talking about SNES and NES games, they are only around 4-5 Megs, which is about the same size as a crappy-quality MP3. So it is literally not a problem to have every NES/SNES game ever made on your PC. Using USB controllers makes it so that you can play games with a PS3 or xbox 360 controller, so the original systems don't have any advantage whatsoever.Tell me more about how to set up these emulators....![]()
Theif on PS4 looks cool.

I haven't played any Assassin's Creed games so since I have XBL Gold that is a nice little give back. I'll try it and maybe even get into the series a bit. Probably the same with some others they'll release. I rarely buy a game day one. Skyrim is the only one I got at full price near launch in years.So they're giving a 6 year old game and a 4 year old game to people who are paying them a monthly fee for the next few months?They won't be able to run on XBOX One without tons of work.
