Well that's a good first step in their change.
But their price is still too high.....especially with the Kenect issue.

Unless they do more changes.......I think they'll lose out to Sony's PS4.

I'm thinking they might not be focusing enough on a "for gamers".
My instincts are telling me MS may be putting too much into "Entertainment System" instead of "Video Game Console". But that part's just my instincts.

Yeah the whole 'paying 100 more for a kenect' I mean really?? You are FORCING me to use this nice toy? I mean I'll no longer bash anyone buying the Xbox because it's not a horrid buy now however with my money should I save 100 and just buy a PS4 or spend it for something that is completely worthless to me? What if it gets damaged then my entire system is a doorstop....

I dunno thinking of just stickin to the PS4 and calling it a day.

Note: someone earlier in the thread brought up another real issue. Being spied on by Microsoft or anyone else that pays Microsoft to do it for you. let's go off the deep end for a moment what happens if your wife is changing in the living room and they or hackers hack it and is watching her change or worse! The potential abuse is astounding. I also agree that is far fetched but guys was the idea of prism and hackers been doing stuff like that LONGGGGG before our own government were.

both consoles stated for better next gen gaming they had to change the architecture, which in turn wont allow other discs to play in the new system.... but im sure if they wanted they could make a emulator for their own systems if they wanted just like i still play my sega saturn discs with a emulator in my pc.....

not everything can be emulated with software. the first ps3s were able to play most ps2 discs because they attached a version of the ps2's processor. when the first round of price cuts came around, they removed that hardware as part of the cost savings. thats why a lot of the popular ps2 games came out as digital downloads.i may have misused a few terms in the above, but thats the gest. eitherway, its not impossible, but most likely improbable.

As far as you not wanting the Kinect. Its a matter of the Microsoft leading households to the way into the Future.

And you have no choice in the matter. The future is here and you are going to be apart whether you like it or not.

For the betterment of mankind.

A camera is going to revolutionize the world??? Or do you mean waving your hands around and screaming at your tv to do what you want?

I'm confused Xbox fanboy logic is horrid.

Samsung has a whole line of tvs that already do that. there is nothing more infuriating than having a friend yell "tv off" during a sports game or reaching in the air and muting or cranking the volume to max.

I'm excited for the you tube videos well get of someone in the middle of a boss fight or epic multiplayer match, when their wife, mom, sister, brother, roommate, etc. walks by and says Xbox off.

It will be epic nerd rage.

Why do they call it an Xbox 180?

Because when you see the price, you do a 180.
