Harlow Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well, you all most likely know the new Xbox offer is knee deep in crap, and maybe you know this already, but I think this is the cherry on the top. Xbox One will only work in 21 countries on its release period. (Australia, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canada, Russia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, UK, France, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Italy) It won't count if you import the Xbox from a launch country, MS pretty much said it won't run and it will be cartain to turn into a huge paperweight If you buy the console from a member country, let's say France, and bring it to your home, let's say Poland, it will plop and fail. The console will be available in your country, but who the hell knows when? What can you do about it? A member of the staff said it on an interview (and came out of the douchebag closet in the process) There is a console for non-member countries. It's called Xbox 360. Arguing ensued between the journalist and the guy. The journalist pretty much missed a big one and could've said. "No, the console's called PlayStation 4" This ego inflation always seem to occur from the winning company, but Xbox reached new levels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarFoxfan-FUR_ever Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 That could explain why Sony wants its players to pay to have access to play online multiplayer. So if Microsoft wants to tout about how "reliable" its servers are, we can point to this chart and say Sony has to provide servers all around the world. In any case, Microsoft, ya dun GOOF'D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I genuinely wonder how anyone on the board of directors of Microsoft's gaming division thought this was a good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballisticwaffles Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I genuinely wonder how anyone on the board of directors of Microsoft's gaming division thought this was a good idea... Obviously, according to a brief glance at that map, Microsoft hates Black people, Brown people, and slightly less than white people. Although with their general attitude i do believe it is important to note that Microsoft hates white people too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmony Descent Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I was at my local Gamestop yesterday (bought Max Payne 3. Shutup. I know I'm behind - I bought it for $13 USD) and I told the cashier there that I was utterly disappointed in the Xbox One. His argument was that Micro$oft was doing the policies for the Xbox One just so they can stop certain people from pirating their games they have exclusively on their console. My reaction to that was: "Yeah. Say that to regular consumers that pay up front and have the money to buy the games and have to see that we have to pay extra fees for used game. Stuck up bastard..." I didn't say that to him, but I muttered it as I walked out. But since I saw that douchebaggery of a comment one of the staff said, this is what I have to say to Micro$oft, and I believe I speak for most of the people here on this site: I have never been this disgusted and annoyed with Micro$oft before. Dear god, I'm glad I stayed with $ony when I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drasiana Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The fact that their official Twitter's advice to people who want to travel with their Xbox is "buy an Xbox 360" is a new level in douchefuckery that you'd think a company as big as Microsoft would know, y'know, not to achieve. But apparently the entire premise of the Xbox One is that it's some kind of assisted suicide. That is the only way I can explain this. Good lord. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 It seems the leading company of a generation gets so inflated on the next one, to the point they flop badly. Remember when Sony was inflated on the events leading to the PS3? PS2 was huge, then they decided for the PS3 to be madly expensive and they said "fuck it, we're SONY". Xbox 360 beat them by ~10mill. They still did good on the market, but weren't the winners. Nintendo also crashed on the N64 for refusing to change to the new, leading disc technology. PS2 beat them. But all this... They amp it up to 11. I don't remeber Sony or Nintendo having douchey employees who were so vocal and so important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 There's this thing that's seemingly possitive about the Xbox One, but against all the crap, it's far into obscurity. Strange that MS isn't whoring this one out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 A shame that there needs to be a registry of ten people; I do recall when you could just loan discs to others. At this point, Microsoft is so ridiculously arrogant that they will undoubtedly keep policies the same until they see how badly they are being thrashed in the marketplace. Sony got their act back together after making the same mistake in 2006 at the unveiling of the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
