Totally surprised!!

@Collapse. Lol, Kinect threads are bad news, I haven't bothered looking twice at one in a while. Me personally, I can take it or leave it, I use it now and then but I don't think I'd miss it if it wasn't there.

 

It's funny because even with the way the reveal was at the start I was still excited about the x1. Seeing all the hate on the net I thought I would come over to the forums to see if I was the only one that was excited. Is all I found was a lot of negative
hate and disappointment. Sometimes it feels like not much has changed.

 

Well you learned a life lesson. People are jerks. Time to move on, huh?

 

I'm must be alone, because I find the new UI excellent and yes I can see its missing things but these things are not stopping me from actually playing a game. At the end of the day that's why I bought it.

 

During the whole run up to launch I realized that the gaming community is LOADED with cynical obnoxious hateful self entitled aholes.

I agree. I love the ui too. of course its missing some things we all came to think of as "standard". And I'm sure MS has all these things AND MUCH MORE on their radar.

Sometimes a little patience goes a long ways. There is plenty too enjoy right now.... and how exciting to know this is just the beginning!

 

Now you and I get branded as apologists for daring to say we like what we got and can understand that things will come. Any OS comes with stuff missing or altered.

 

I gave up on the Kinect a couple weeks ago. I got tired of having to yell the command 9 times for it to work. My cats thought I was a lunatic.

Really enjoying the xbox one overall, but I miss my dolby digital.

 

Your cat's thought you were a lunatic? You said it, I'm just saying.

[/quote]Azazel x, what command were you trying to use? Did you enunciate &/or articulate what you were trying to say? Did you say it quickly? Slowly? Did you leave a space in between words? Did you turn down the volume? What!?

Help me help you. I assure you, the Kinect (for the most part) works just fine. The problem likely lies within you (& you might not realize it) - I'd like to see if I can fix that for you.

 

This console was $500 dollars + tax. To play online or use apps you need to pay $60 for Gold membership. Then you have to buy a game for another $60. I will sit here and demand things all day long.

 

If this was free then people wouldn't have the right to complain. The price tags and promises say otherwise.

looking at things that fit within your budget.

As for complaining, you're perfectly within your right to do so, but do it where it'll actually make a difference (which isn't here).

 

See there is another complaint I really can't stand. GG pointed it out. I fully understand that $500 can be a lot of money to some people. Trust me, I don't earn a great wage. But if you really think that $500 dollars is "too" much, why the hell are you
buying it in the first place. I mean really, some phones cost more than that. Most tablets are more than that. Personally I was really happy when they announced the price. I was actually expecting a lot more. If you can't afford the xbox one, which by the
way is a luxury, not a necessity, then maybe you shouldn't buy it. Wait for a price drop. But please don't winge about the price and then buy it anyway. That is just plain hypocritical.

 

@DuFFul, I dont think $500 is too much, but had I known that this machine was not the "one" machine to do it all yet, and wont be for another 1-2 years I would have waited. Im enjoying my system, but if I had known it was incomplete I would have waited.
