so you honestly gonna sit here and blame sony and pc users for this???

it wasn't the marketing?? it wasn't the ceo saying if you want to just play games, go buy another system?? or that it couldn't be reversed?? then reversing it in an instant?? but kept the price the same??? it wasn't any xbox 360 users complaining?? it wasn't the media?? or the game makers??

it was a legendary fukk up.. and 99% of this article is saying exactly that.. which is why Meach could only bold two paragraphs..

yes we pretty much all agree, it was some great ideas.. especially that family share.. really only that family share.. i could give a fukk about having to walk 3 steps to the xbox...

but that's microsoft's fault... had the big guns and didn't stick to them...



everyone was complaining about $500 and the kinect too remember.... didn't scrap those did they??

THEY fukkED UP
Ok, the bold. Do you understand what a coherent sentence means? You said about 4/5things at once in that bullshyt rant of yours. No, not everyone was upset with how they was gonna do things. Haters were upset
You see clownshoes, you had a bunch of people with no intentions of getting an xbox tell you what the xbox was gonna be all about. Let me remind you what was being said.

1.) We could share our games with up to 10friends/family.
Sounds good right. Well, haters said it couldn't be true. Cried. That feature is now something you heard about, but it doesn't register in your brain that it was reality. Only the nay sayers version sticks out for you

2.) Always online. I'm not 100% on board with not being able to play without internet right. Being honest
But here's the otherside of that coin. If I didn't have internet, I wouldn't be playing my xbox. FACT!
The XB1/360 dash doesn't even load up if you not connected. I would have no use for my XB1 if I didn't have it connected. I have never used it without an internet connection, NEVER. And I'm sure that goes for most gamers with XB1's or PS4's. The internet is a normal part of everyones life in America. The only ppl who would have a problem with that are children who have parents who can control there internet usage.

Grown people live there lives, while children flood online forums crying over features (DRM)

Was the DRM perfect? I can't say. Was it all negative, not benefits for the consumers? That would be an uneducated lie. In your bolded rant, you even said did game makers want this? Yes they did, and they still do.
XBL on 360 has games for $5 every week. The same shyt will happen non XB1 and we'll digitally download our games anyway. Its not Microsofts fault that the haters would scream so loudly online about it.

Or do you still use CD's when you listen to music? I don't even use DVD's anymore. All digital, all instant.
You guys are such idiots :snoop:

You are so insecure my friend.... it must hurt.


You write out these long paragraphs as if we are going to read them. As if we want to read them. You should learn to compress your thoughts into a few sentences ....you would be more likable and respected. An 8 page paper of stupidity is worse than a sentence or two.

ironically, like a week or so before he passed, dude toned down his console rhetoric A LOT and basically called a truce.

realistically i just dont want the same thing to happen to meach. it would be horrible to find out he's got health problems, and he's getting himself all fired up to defend plastic. and courtneys in his 50's, so i mean, that's going to be kind of a given one day. it's just sad all around

seems like Thursdays nobody should talk bad about the Xbox. Open season on Sony though.

i don't understand coherent sentences... but i asked questions... none of which you answered... but we are idiots...

lets try this again...

you blamed pc users and sony stans for causing a multi-billion dollar company to change it's core idea, on a multi-billion dollar making machine. so therefore, i asked you a list of questions, asking if you're going to attach any of that blame to these other parties, who all had something to do with complaining about and/or changing the system.

that's all i asked.



now onto your reply... yes people were misinformed about these things.. and people who had no intentions of getting one were clowning, lying, and complaining. but if you're smart enough to figure that out (with no facts, nor numbers, nor researdh), then explain to me, how a multi-billion dollar company, full of research departments and analysts, couldn't figure that out. explain to me how they could use that PR division to get the real info out and squash this. explain to me how they couldn't get the A/V department to record some videos of all this live and in action and flood the net with it.

i guess that money is only good for buying exclusive DLC. it couldn't possibly be used on advertising you're future changing ideas right???





there's a lot more people to blame... some right at microsoft, for this fiasco... but at no point did i ever argue if the shyt would actually work or not, nor what it was supposed to do.. so i don't even know why you brought that up.



but you also sound real stupid... "i would never have use for my 360 without internet" well i would... so would a lot of people... it's called PLAYING MOTHERfukkING VIDEO GAMES.. which all seem to work perfectly fine with the internet off.. how do i know.. cause i have live.. my boy has a profile but no live account.... we play the same games.. it's the same game.. it works... ON MY 360... gamertag - THEREALVENEM look me up... compare games... now point me to the ones that don't work without internet... thank you.. shut up
