    How long before they drop kinect 2.0 out of the picture?



    Kinect is a success tho. Where's Move?

    I meant moreso so that it could put their SKU on even footing with the standard PS4 price wise. I actually forgot that Move even existed.

    Oh, yea...I don't think it matters. The XBOX One is #1 on Amazon and pre-orders at Gamestop are sold out as of today. It's selling regardless. I think Kinect might be too integrated in the console to be removed.

    We know what you meant broddie. Focus is just so distressed by this news his only consolation is bringing up sony. He probably feels like a child who just discovered his momma's a ? after years of denying it.

    None of those reasons made me not want to check out/buy the Xbox One. If they only do something about Kinect. You can turn it off right? No reason to get both Xbox One & PS4 on launch day tho, considering most of the games for each platform will be multi-plat and on current gen.

    I wonder how many people will be getting fired for implementing the stuff to start with.

    "Trust me man it's the future"

    Or more infamously: "Deal with it."

    I will now be buying this sooner than expected. I was always just waiting for them to change the "must be online every 24 hours" policy cause I figured it would happen. Well that and the pricing but the pricing was more of an issue for me only because I refused to pay an extra hundred more than expected to live with that ? policy. It was just way too stupid a policy for many reasons that I've spoken on in the past. Now I will be able to take an XBO with me for long term travels.

    It's one thing if the internet is not in their area (lol), but if they can't afford internet, you really think they can afford a $500 console with $60 games, plus an additional $60 XBL subscription a year?

    If only Sony played the game. They could've made a lot more money IMO.

    Maybe this may now cause the inevitable death of the true gaming industry.

    Only real issue I had with it is it adding an extra buck to the price but that was before they went back on the 24 hour policy. If people figure kick ass ways to implement it with the games and the overall entertainment presentation I will "deal with it".

    I wonder what Ninty is thinking about their 4th quarter sales now? MS' previous handicap was a great advantage to them. I just hope

    I guess it's better than having a bulk of install discs sitting on your shelf. Either way I do plan on using the cloud capabilities alot. Particularly to catch up with the 360 games I always wanted to play but ended up missing out on because no 360 owner I knew even owned them.
