SugarRy and 3 guests are online.

SugarRy : That is the only thing the I think is shaddy if they do it. But according to Deac your wrong cause neither Sony or MS will do this so we will see
SugarRy : I will just make a conscious decision to give them no more of my money.
SugarRy : I am not, You just asked why people are complaining. That is the main reason.
x352x pH : i think MS will realize the family situation and cater to that, i mean not all the details are out yet so who knows. at this point there's no sense getting worked up over it
SugarRy : Why should I have to pay more when we all in the same house. Not like i am giving it to another family someone else.
x352x pH : yeah thats what im saying people keep saying oh ill just go with PS4, well thats going to be the same situation. its been a long time coming, people are in denial if they think its going to be any different. and this isnt just with video games wither, all these laws coming down about piracy and hollywood. many industries are just fed up with it
SugarRy : Its easy for you to sit back an ignore. You have only yourself to worry about. Trying paying for a family of four and bite your tongue then.
SugarRy : Its not wishful. If Sony does it I am done with them too
x352x pH : alright man you can keep your wishful thinking but be prepared to be disappointed
SugarRy : You people are in denial if you will sit back and let MS bully you into paying more. May not be issue for you being one person, but a house with a family of gamers get screwed
SugarRy : Sony has said they wont limit games like that. They are focusing on the console for more gaming related then all in one entertainment.
x352x pH : i mean its inevitable at this point
x352x pH : Sony has filed a patent describing exactly how the xbox one will work
SugarRy : I rarely buy used games anyways.
SugarRy : Its just a money grab then to get more out of me. Not even a used game issue at that piont
SugarRy : Not what Sony has said up till now. They have denied any change on used games. And I could care less on used. I am more worried about they gouging me for paying for the same game for multiple people in the same house. If they tie it to my Xbox gold family then I could care less but if they tie it to one I am out.
x352x pH : used games is gone as we know it trust me
x352x pH : PS4 is going to do the same
SugarRy : I just hope Deac's right. If they tie each game to one gamertag I am switching to PS4. I am not paying extra for more people in the same house.
SugarRy : God forbid I am trying to watch TV through it and have to give him my profile and lose my access to TV as well just so he can play.
SugarRy : So if I am playing downstairs and my son whats to play on his upsairs but the game is tied to mine. I will have to get off and quit playing with friends to move my profile to his so he can play a game. That is lame and completely stupid if thats the case
x352x pH : as long as the gamertag is on the associated xbox i dont think thered be a problem
SugarRy : Also multiple 360s. My son plays on his, wife on hers, and I play on mine and sometimes my daughter plays too.
SugarRy : Lets just hope thats not the case
SugarRy : How will that help. If palying is tied to gamertag and we have 4 gamertags
x352x pH : and your issue could be easily solved by migrating a profile
x352x pH : no used games
SugarRy : So they say yes you can but more info to come to go over how. What info? So yes you can, but we will charge you. Thats the question
SugarRy : Q: Will Xbox One allow players to trade in, purchase and play pre-owned games? A: We are designing Xbox One to enable customers to trade in and resell games. We’ll have more details to share later.
SugarRy : This is the BS type answers they gave.
SugarRy : They did not address shit for anyones concerns and rumor control
SugarRy : Article read also say games must be installed. That supossedly is not true per Deac. Todays announcement was lame. All about what was planned and no real info on limitation or restrictions.
SugarRy : If true and lets say they charge $10 for each additional person. A $60 Dollar game would cost me $90 for my house to paly.
SugarRy : Thats all speculation if the rumors are true or not. MS has not confirmed nor denied. Just Deacon is denying so far.
SugarRy : pH its the reports coming out that tie the games you buy to one gamertag. If they are true its screws families who have multiple accounts and 360s. We would have to pay for each gamertag to be able to use a newely bought game. I have 4 people in my family.
x352x pH : I didnt go into todays reveal expecting much on games with E3 being so close, people arent understanding that
x352x pH : you guys just need to wait until E3 when MS puts their line up of games on full display
x352x pH : why are people saying "looks like im going with PS4" please tell me what the have revealed that wow'd you so much to go drop $500+ on that shit??
DeaconBlade : yeah it was at least recognizable lol
BPD 007 : Win7 is awesome
DeaconBlade : lol
SugarRy : So did my dad. Took it back and bought a machine with Win 7 on it. LOL
DeaconBlade : my mom hates it lol
SugarRy : agree
DeaconBlade : i don't want to install apps on my PC
DeaconBlade : apps on PC is just .. it's stupid
DeaconBlade : PC should be simple . there was no need to usher in an entire new interface because of the tablet boom
SugarRy : Agree. Its crap. Removing the start button on the PC was a huge mistake. Now they paying for it and having to put it back. LOL
DeaconBlade : definitely not laptop
DeaconBlade : not really all that great in a tablet experience either

x352x pH: this is was their CONSOLE reveal, not an emphasis on games. E3 is...

EYEGotcha: That was my first reaction when I saw the XBOX One. That is a big...
