More games should pull Snatcher's poo poo of using two controllers and not warning you when its going to switch which one you need so its always tense.

Well I'm getting more and more familiar with the system, and I think I can now safely say 99% of you really are full of poo poo, CoD: awful is actually pretty good, and forza horizon 2 is superb. I'm sorry I listened to you before and didn't get this console sooner.

MiiVerse is God drat amazing.

Also the game pad pro is the most comfortable controller since the GameCube.

Edit: Actually I read this as the game pad non pro.. the pro is pretty comfortable.

Or you should thank them for lowering up your expectations so much that this much cheaper entertainment equipment is palatable to you. Congrats, on waiting to Jump In.

It was stolen. Grip it and rip it. In the case of the XBONE One, fail to flip it.

Stopped by Walmart to see about that $380 bundle someone mentioned the other day and they weren't offering it. They also ran out of Sunset Overdrive bundles in the meantime. Maybe I should just buy the AC bundle at Costco and see if anyone wants to trade that code for an SO code. Can you gift purchases in the online store?

At least I walked out of there with a bag of Hawaiian Luau BBQ chips and a bunch of Tombstone pizzas. Can you believe they were only $3 each?

It's probably an XBox 1. Not an XBox One, mind you, but an XBox 1.

I wonder how many people on eBay have been ripped off because they didn't read carefully and ended up buying an XBox 1 for hundreds of dollars when they thought they were buying an XBox One.

There were actual printed magazine articles which were talking about the upcoming Xbox One and having pictures of the Xbox 1.

You've compromised your values. Supporting controllers gives The Godspawn Christ more power, weakening our unholy master's grip upon this world. All Hail Satan! All Hail PC Gaming (master race!)
