Not getting any Next Gens anytime soon, but when I do it will most likely be either a WiiU (first parties I need to play) or PS4 (if they start giving out free PS4 games on PS+)

Okay, guys...we all know the saying "it's too good to be true", right?

This sounds like the exact opposite of this. I thought it'd be possible that a creative director screwed up by trolling a friend on twitter. Or that there was a flipside that wasn't shown (a really low selling price, for example, as that could easily made up for by the online fee).

As it stands, either (a part of) these rumors are totally wrong and made up...or this time, it'll be microsoft who's going that "blue ocean" thing by doing something the competition didn't thought of.

I'm really curious about that reveal event. That's for sure. If for nothing else, to see what microsoft is really up to...

 

[Rydian]

So how exactly is this different from the rumors we've been hearing for years, other than being written with better grammar?

I think Sony just won the next generation.
What did I just say

 

[DinohScene]

Hah haha haha HAH!
Oh rumors, I love them <3

Even though you're probably right, I want to see facts rather than rumours

Don't blame ya, it's a good album.

*snip*

I made this joke once and nobody got it.

I guess I'm just Second Hand News now...

 

[DinohScene]

Yush yush!

Is "always on" a true deal-breaker? Or is it just a deal-breaker right now with no actual console details?

Unless "Sucks your dick" is one of the details, there's many people who will consider it a dealbreaker.

Not everybody lives in the city and has stable internet.

It's definitely a deal breaker for me. I have limited internet usage every month and this would slowly eat away at it.

 

[Armadillo]

I have stable internet & live in a major city, I consider it a deal breaker.

I'm not dropping £40 a on game, to play only when they say I can play it. What happens when they turn the servers off? My collection is worthless, I can't play any of them.

^ This

Only it will be more like £60 I'd guess.

Look at the issues with SimCity and the always-online requirement - total fuck up. Not for me thankyou.

 

[rad140]

Maybe all these "leaks" are Microsoft's way of getting community feedback on ideas for the Nextbox.
If that's true, then they should seriously reconsider the "always-on" thing.

Paul Thurrott is more reputable than the average joe especially when it comes to Microsoft-related news.

 

[Rydian]

Yeah, I just don't trust "sources". I trust shit that's out.

 

[Hells Malice]

So like...it plays games, right? That's still a feature? Yeah? Excellent! Maybe I'll get one!

I'm sure that add-on will cost extra.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Before the PS4 reveal were there this many rumors about online only? I know there were rumors but I'm pretty sure I didn't read like everyone saying it's confirmed.
