    Microsoft is hiring "Repuation Management" personnel.

    Used games existed in the form of garage sales. There was no GameStop when I was playing Atari 2600. I also couldn't go online & download Pitfall for free. I won't try to convince anyone to buy or not buy Xbox One. Your money, your life. I'm getting it day
    one. Love me or hate me.

    If you CAN afford it buy it. Listening to these guys is fatiguing. If u can't afford then go for the games u like then pull the trigger....BTW, the negative comments here are from peeps that don't have an X1...

    If you need convinced then your better off staying on the 360. If you cant figure out why to switch then don't.

  7. No. After all, why should I? You didn't even ask nicely (in fact, you outright demanded it) and as far as I know, there's nothing in it for me.

    ^This! I hate these kind of threads. Someone can't decide for themselves, so they have to have people bombard them with enough reasons to make them feel justified in taking the
    plunge. Sure makes it easy to point the finger at others if you pull the trigger and aren't happy afterward though... doesn't it?

    There's tons of information out there, forums just bursting with pros and cons of this console. I'm fairly indecisive myself and I made up my own mind on if and when to get this
    console... you can too. #Wearenotsalespeople

    So you have never asked for advice? Never asked a parent or friend if you should do something?

    Yes in the end the final choice is your own, but it's never a bad idea to ask other people for an opinion.

  9. Are ambassadors still required to be knowledgeable or are /they just here to look pretty now??

    You cannot get 100$ toward a one for any 360 model.

    It has to be a 250gb model. Rofl nice misinformation though.

  10. Also it is in fact a terrible idea to ask people youdont know on the internet to make financial decisions for ones self.

  14. So you have never asked for advice? Never asked a parent or friend if you should do something? - I have, at times, asked for advice... but as I've grown older, I've found that
    it's better to ask for facts and experiences from others than advice. Facts are clear and concise and are the best factors in helping me make a decision that will be best... and work best... for me. I do my best to make up my mind based on facts and input
    from other peoples' experience... not their advice, unless they're a known 'expert'.

    Yes in the end the final choice is your own, but it's never a bad idea to ask other people for an opinion. - It's more the way that OP asked than the fact that s/he asked. The
    thread title sets the tone and when I see "Convince me" I picture someone sitting, with a smug look, arms crossed, waiting for someone else to 'break down their defenses' and come up with the magic sales pitch that will finally push them into doing something.
    Had OP chosen a less 'stand off-ish' way to 'ask for advice' I likely would have reacted much, much differently.

  15. Sure the OP could have phrased the question better but he has come to the official forum for the Xbox brand to ask for advice, or experiences if you wish, from people who already own a Xbox One.

    Instead he gets jumped on by people telling him to make up his own mind.

    This community can be quite hostile at times.
