Is this normal, or am I just being irrational?

No you are not the only one i am having the same issue and it is very irratating.

Yep, hehe they are so cute. They probably thought they would get an Xbox Achievement for being an irrational fan nerd.

"Now I ask you the question, is this thread and clear arrogance an online form of confrontation to get a way to get from real-life? I know I don't appreciate being looked down upon and judged just for being an active member of a forum hence the term Dr.
Phil. I don't like being insulting so I offer you an apology and I expect you to show the same curtsy to the rest of the people that you were likely insulting with your original post."

I don't apologize for exposing irrational behavior, no. If you didn't exhibit any irrational behavior, then you wouldn't be offended.

"Off topic...This is Xbox one forum not a Facebook page."

That should be a popular comment.

My only dissapointment is the community to be honest, the words irrational and ridiculous come to mind. I think the XB1 will be fine but I'm completely turned off buying it for the time being.

[quote user="ASMB"]@Lost. That's a pretty dumb come back as the casing is part of the unit itself, the kinect is (only just, granted) just an add on.

I guess we could argue this all night but it would be pointless, as compairing a console to anything other than a console is pointless. And I'm 100% right. So I'll leave it there.

[/quote]Hold on wait, what you deem as "optional" or an "add-on" but I am not allowed to do the same. The case really serves no purpose, why am I being forced to pay for it? You'll "leave it there" because there is no rational
counter for two irrational statements.
