Xbox One Official Requirements: Waive Your Rights

[Dust2dust]

...some people may not have a clue what an HDTV is even in America this is the case.

If people are aware of the existence of Xbox One, but not the existence of HDTVs, there is a real problem, don't you think?

 

[Ethevion]

this is the deepest grave I've seen someone dig... EVER... xd

I wonder if they'll try to dig deeper? Maybe for a world record or something?

You never know, technophobia and ignorance of technology still exists in the West.

Xbox. Xbox...just...stop.

I wouldn't be surprised if the console sales completely failed. It's the dumbest and most elitist decision they have every made, and they are going to regret it.
They really need to alter their idea before it comes out, or suffer the consequences of making no profit.

The majority of die hard Xbox users I have spoken to said they'd rather get the PS4.
Is it true that it's not being released in Japan too?!

Despicable.

MS probably saved a lot of money letting the NSA put together this spy device for them while giving it the ability to play games. Lol, but to play the games you will need to go online. Kinect stuff flat out scares privacy types. Class action lawsuits...might have something to do with the 360, lol, RROD anyone??? "If/when we f you and you figure it out you won't be able to file a lawsuit with others." This joke keeps getting funnier. I anxiously await seeing sales numbers then return figures as well--as in how many get returned. I BET stores will have a hidden, "Non-refundable" policy. Meaning, you may return it in exchange for a "Non defective" system but your money is spent and gone, lmfao. Anyone want to place friendly bets on this?

 

[raulpica]

China's not in the list ... that rules me out
well, I wasn't gonna get One anyway

As soon as I read the list my first thought was "No China? That means a sad Costello" and I was going to post that, but you saw this earlier than I did

There's a really good friend of mine which is an avid 360 player, he plays on Live daily (got Gold), has played every 1st party title and owns a crapload of 3rd party games.

He does all that on an SD TV and has NO intention of upgrading to HD, either. Looks like he won't have be an XBoner

Microsoft. What are you doing? Microsoft. STAHP

 

[AbyssalMonkey]

Good god, the news gets worse and worse. You know what's sad? It will still sell really well. And here I was thinking that the Japanese were the crazy people of the world, turns out they're still more sane than Microsoft.

 

[WiiUBricker]

I think it's a matter of time until MS fixes the Xbox One. I can't imagine they will go forward with their idea of games when their competitors do things the right way.

 

[AbyssalMonkey]

They won't and can't, they've already locked themselves into place by opening preorders. If they stopped and "fixed" it, they would have to cancel all the preorders on the premesis of false advertising. M$ won't do that.

 

[fluffykiwi]

oh and do not think you are getting to use all the 500 Gb from the internal drive.

Xbox One system software uses a significant amount of storage; less internal storage will be available to users.

 

[Attila13]

Well....
Fuck you Microsoft!
They lost the remaining trust they ever had from me!
After this I will never trust and support Microsoft again!
Fuck them!

I'll get the PS4 anyway, but I still had some faith in them that they'll make something to correct things...but it seems that I was wrong!
Microsoft.

 

[1ManClan]

Wow this is insane! I love my 360 and actually own 3 consoles. But I will not buy this console, I refuse, I will stick with my 360 until they stop supporting it then I will probly go back to PC gaming. I haven't been a pc gamer in almost 8 years but I refuse to go along with this! We all need to stay away from this console and they will eventually realize they have to change! The way thing are going the next gen after this will involve having to buy their tv and who knows what else! ***Also why is this even legal, how can any business say they can't be sued, it seem like their should be a law against this sort of madness!

 

[AbyssalMonkey]

oh and do not think you are getting to use all the 500 Gb from the internal drive.

they said 500 billion bytes = 465.7 GB which i believe is within normal formatting loss. I think they are just disclaiming this to save their own asses some trouble.

I don't like the fact that just to own an Xbone, you need to pay a monthly/yearly fee for their XBOX network stuff, even if you never intend to play a game online or buy any downloads. Lose internet access for a couple days and all you have is an overpriced DVD/BD player. As far as gaming (the primary reason anyone would bother with it) you would have a brick.

The most unfortunate thing is the fact that there will be suckers who will buy it and see nothing wrong with all these restrictions. And for what, because they gotta have some silly game that's exclusive to that system? Those poor gullible deluded fools.

And let's say the general population IS smarter than I give them credit for and the system sales are abysmal, how many games do you think will be made for a system with no install base? So then, the few suckers who bought it will have a system that requires a monthly/yearly fee to avoid being a brick, and no (or a very limited amount) of games being made for it. How warm-and-fuzzy will that make you feel?

The way I see it, MS has their pant leg caught in the bike chain, they'll need to do some backpedaling to continue moving forward. Because as their policies stand now, at MS the Xbone plays you.....for a sucker.

No Poland?

Oh-ho! Ah-ha! Microsoft is pulling an XBox 1 (appropriate, since this is XBox One), this is the second time they're not launching XBox live in my country. You have got to be kidding me, this is just rich!

Just reread the pre-order disclaimer, it doesn't say that you need Xbox Gold for their services, just Xbox Live. Unless they changed something, Xbox Live is activated just by having a silver account which is completely free.
