I doubt most of the unfunny crew ITT have PS4s either. I'm cool with anti-Boners (Boner Killers??) so long as they're funny unlike just about everybody on this page. :fry: (e: last page now)

This thread used to be fun even if we couldn't actually discuss Xbox stuff without a couple shitheels.

I'm seriously excited to get back home and try out Trouble in Paradise over Thanksgiving, since I only ever got to play the demo of it. Definitely looking forward to that more than the PS+ games this month (though I might finally try out Binding of Isaac after never playing the Humble Bundle copy I got).

Unless Real hurthling is right, no. The only way for Microsoft to release an Xbox with DDR4 memory is to abandon the Xbone and create a new Xbox.

What we know: Microsoft is hiring engineers with experience working with all kinds of memory.

They are apparently working on getting a smaller processor happening, which will be a lot cheaper because that means more processor per wafer yield, and might be trying to swap memory around.

Note that this is all just to bring down the cost of production and possibly make a "slim" model, it is not for improved performance.

Well, they've been shown to not really care about early adopters in the past with all the diskinects and price drops. So it wouldn't be entirely out of character to release a new version with better RAM. Maybe they'll combine it with the presumed slim version and market it the way Nintendo is their "New 3DS".

Won't happen.

The gains would be marginal, while the re-engineering costs, added production costs and reputation cost (from the Xbox One 'v1' buyers and developers) would be pretty huge. The reality is that there's not a meaningful difference in terms of pure performance between the Xbox and The Console We Don't Talk About, certainly not enough to justify breaking compatibility and annoying the gently caress out of your fanbase. It's slower in a measurable way, but multi-platform games aren't suddenly garbage because of that.

The money would be far better spent elsewhere; although if 'elsewhere' means spunking a stupendous amount of money on Minecraft, who loving knows.

The 3DS is getting on for four years old though, that's a little different to a console that's less than a year old.

Let me just remind you that newer 360s did get better hardware, because that hardware was more widely mass-produced, but they also slowed it down to exactly the same speeds as the versions that came before it.

playing it right now, it's awesome and an order of magnitude better than anything the ps4 or xbone has to offer.

enjoy all your eshop games being bound only to your console
also when you buy it, and it keeps shutting off your internet when you update, just keep trying, it will work eventually
and don't worry about the fuzzy home menu, your console is outputting 1080p I assure you
also when you buy super mario bros wii u, be sure to pick up another two $50 wiimotes, because the gamepad doesn't work with coop
keep some cash on had to buy those fifteen year old gameboy games for $7.99
be sure to turn off the rumble feature so your gamepad battery lasts 2 hours

The Wii U finally has good games, but it is undoubtedly a Very Bad Console from a hardware and features perspective.

Kind of like how the Xbox One will have lots more fun exclusives than the competition but also not-so-fantastic hardware, imo.

Do not touch the console, your fingerprint alone will scratch it forever
Wash your hands everytime you play, or else your game pad is going to look like literal poo poo after five minutes, no I don't know why they chose this finish
Sorry, keep an extra $1.50 on hand for those $7.99 gameboy games, to pay the tax (??)
um no, you can't play online coop in super mario 3d world? why would you even think this?
stop crying about the gamepad shoulder buttons, and pay $50 for yet another 'pro' controller
you need to buy another discontinued controller to play n64 games, sorry about that, nope it's not the same controller you need for bayonetta 2
uh buy this bundle with a gamecube controller, it only works on one game though

I'm about ready to get myself a Xbox One, thinking of getting the Sunset Overdrive bundle and Forza Horizon 2 any other games I should look at? Not too interested in the new CoD, I already have the 360 versions of Destiny, Watch_Dogs and Wolfenstein: TNO, how many of them can I get a discounted digital version of?
I'm also wondering, is the HDD easily replaceable like the 360s were or will I need an external drive if I need more storage? Also, a small thing but are white controllers available on their own or would I be stuck with a black one, and finally, is the stereo headset compatible with the 360.

External.

I don't think owning previous gen versions gets you a discount beyond what's already discounted, but I wouldn't rebuy any of those three games.

If you like Halo at all, next week is The Master Chief Collection, which is basically a compendium of all games with the Master Chief in them, every map playable online on dedicated servers and graphical updates across the board.

For multiplatform, Far Cry 4 is coming out soon and will probably be p. rad.

If you got Destiny digitally, you get the digital Bone version for free if you claim it before...January, I think?

Nothing else, though.
