And if you really, really want to, a Wii U. http://www.vg247.com/2013/05/24/wii-u-sales-jump-on-amazon-uk-following-xbox-one-reveal/

I am hoping so hard right now for Nintendo's little console to...

Ah, more good news from the land of Micro$oft.

Totally agree. Costs could be cut in a myriad of ways, and as you say 'combating' piracy and used sales is hardly the correct course of action. Personally, I think it's just as excuse...

It's not just about buying and selling used games though. How many people (younger kids especially) don't lend games to their friends, and borrow games from them as well? Microsoft has completely...

It's more or less what I was expecting, although maybe a little on the high side. Still in the ballpark of what I was expecting for a new machine.
I'm still going to wait though, maybe for a 2nd...

I plan on doing just that, although it's damned tempting to just go out and buy the game right now.

The resurgence of the PS3 shows that console manufacturers can turn things around, even when things can be looking quite bleak.
We have to keep that in mind when discussing the Xbox One. Although...

Quite an interesting read, this. Perhaps MS are on to something...we'll see.

Another problem as I see it with an all-in-one system is that it's fine and dandy as long as it's working. But the day that sucker decides to kick the bucket, there goes all your digital...

Nah. Forza aside, Microsoft's exclusives don't do it for me. I'm also skeptical of these eight new IP's too...are they going to be genuine exclusives, exclusive for only a certain period of time and...

That actually looks really nice.

My biggest fear is stifling DRM and having to jump through hoops to play games. Consoles were/are meant to be simple, accessible devices, not this.
My biggest hope is that they're primarily still...

Well, it's for sure a deal breaker (it true, that is) in this country at least. As said, many, many users don't have permanent access to the internet, if at all.
I informed a friend of mine who...

Well, in the light of Microsoft's approach to it's reveal and it's clear strategy for the machine (I'll refrain from calling it a console from now on) the name 'One' is fitting, since they want it to...

Well, it looks better than a VCR.

And let's not forget that buying used games is going to come at an additional cost now too, which to many gamers is a huge deal. If Sony is smart, they won't go down that route.

This.

I can picture it now...the game that you're engrossed in gets paused by the One because of an incoming call on Skype. Or as you're playing a game, scores from the NBA are streamed at the...

Consoles used to have cool names. Genesis/MEGAdrive, Dreamcast, TurboGrafx, Jaguar...names that made you feel a little excited inside. Even Wii was at least a little clever.
But One. One what? Eh? ...

It's funny, but I've spoken to a lot (And I mean a lot) of people online who just aren't that bothered about this upcoming generation. In their view, the 360 and PS3 are good enough and they don't...

Tell you what, if they can release GT6 within a reasonable time, say within a year after the PS4 launch, then Sony will have my money.

That collector's edition looks glorious. Still, I'll most likely end up with the standard version.

This is absolutely pathetic! What sort of cheap scheme to get more $$$ is this? I expected much better than this from the developer...

That's unfortunate to hear. I think most people would have gone just to see the jets.

Nobody in their right mind would use that grip.

May be worthy of a double facepalm.
