  1. Price Drop Already? Kinda...


    Icestorm said "At an estimated 457 USD, an Xbox One has to sell at 277 GBP to break even. It's selling at 308.33 before VAT. They're making 31 GBP more than break-even on the hardware. That's more than enough to pay for the included game. They are not selling
    the console at a loss, even at 370 GBP."

    So you think that £31 is enough to cover shipping, the shops cut and the 2 included games (rrp £60 X2 = £120!)

    That article was nothing but a fluff piece, and the way they are using the touchpad is no better than the way they used the voice commands in Ryse, and I almost choked on a corndog when I started reading about sharing, try hard much?

    Zero GS and no history of game play, I guess you're just super board with life, that you hang out on the X1 forum and hate. Everyone is entitled an opinion, but your banter almost hints at Sony employee... Do they really pay you to disrupt the thread or
    is it pure jealousy that you don't have a console of your own.

    [quote user="FlashedSauce514"]And the watchdogs article. Illustrates how developers are making games for PS4,[/quote]It's not an article, it's Sony advertising. It's there to remind people about why there's a guy in an overcoat on the PS4 box.
    I'm using the touchpad in Infamous Second Son. I'm not real impressed with its functionality, especially when I have to use motion controls to spray paint, but the touchpad to open doors? WTF?
    Yes, though there's only one included download code, Titanfall.

  10. @ice there was a deal £370 with 2 games

    @goatz u seem confused, I didn't say they make games on a console

    As for Uncharted, this is from the official Playstation Youtube channel:

    "The UNCHARTED franchise is coming to the PS4. Developed by Naughty Dog, UNCHARTED will be made exclusively for the PS4 system."

    [quote user="FlashedSauce514"]@ice there was a deal £370 with 2 games[/quote]There isn't now, and both Amazon.co.uk and Game.co.uk are selling the Titanfall bundle with a single game, Titanfall, for 389.99 GBP.

    There are still such things as sales. They're used to get people into stores and buying products. If a retailer decides to go below price, that's their decision.

    REALLY, STOP TELLIN PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM HOW GREAT THE X1 IS. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ALL WORK FOR MICROSOFT. MY SYSTEM WONT READ THE DISC INSERTED AND SO I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET MINE BACK WITH FED EX. SO I GO TO THE FED EX STORE AT OFFICE MAX, AND I
    KNOW ITS NOT A FED EX STORE BUT COME ON MAN THEY DIDNT HAVE A BOX TO FIT THE X1 SAFELY WITH THE BUBBLE WRAP, SO THE GIRL SAYS YOU CAN BUY ONE OF OUR BOXES LOCATED IN THE BACK OF THE STORE. I LEFT THE BRICK AT THE COUNTER HOPING SOMEONE WOULD STEAL IT. I LOOKED
    AT THE BOXES THEY HAD TO OFFER, 18X18X12 14X14X14 12X WHO CARES AT THIS POINT. SO I CALL MICROSOFT WHEN I GET HOME AND I AM TALKING TO THE GIRL ON THE OTHER LINE AND SHE SAYS WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU IN 24 HOURS. SO CALL BACK TOMORROW.REALLY? I ASK TO TALK
    TO A MANAGER AND I GET REDIRECTED TO JOE, WHO IS COOL. AND STILL WONT WAIVE THE 15$ TO GET ADVANCED SHIPPING.(GET A SYSTEM BEFORE YOU SEND YOURS IN.) SO I TALK TO HIS BOSS AND SAYS THE SAMETHING. 1:35:40 MINS ON THE PHONE. I SAY, ILL JUST USE THE REGULAR
    SHIPPING METHOD. FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS WARRANTIED FOR 1 YEAR THEY EXPECT YOU TO STOP PLAYING YOUR 500$ (MINUS GAMES) PRODUCT AND SHIP IT YOURSELF FOR AN ADITIONAL 15$ DOLLARS AND A 500$ HOLD ON YOUR CREDIT CARD. THAT IS BAD BUISNESS. SO I CHOSE TO SEND IT
    IN EXPADITED FOR 10.50$ AND WAIT 14 DAYS FOR A DISC DRIVE ISSUE. WHEN I HAD THE YLOD FOR THE PS3 THEY SENT ME A BOX AND 3 GAMES TO MAKE IT SMOOTH OVER. WHY DID I BUY THIS NEXT GEN GAMING SYSTEM? TO PAY 15$ MORE DOLLARS TO GET THERE 4 MONTH OLD PRODUCT FIXED
    DUE TO THERE COMPANY WANTING TO RELEASE TOO SOON AND INSTALING A RUSHED DISC DRIVE THAT THEY DIDNT WANT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHEN I GET MY CONSOLE BACK, IF I GET THE BRICK BACK? I AM GETTING THE NOT TO MENTION SYSTEM.

    Brownie and Ghostz should be added to the ban list. Anyone that frequents this forum can clearly see why.

    My only question, and this is why I don't visit here much, or post much, but where are the mods of this forum? You dont have this console and start trouble here, just ban them. Why are these people here? This is getting just as bad as the Neogaf forums
    now days. Start banning people and this site may be worth reading again.
