Next gen Xbox: rumours, speculations, wild pipe dreams!

[UnderOpenSky]

If you want to buy a games console next generation, buy a PS4. The hardware is fantastic.

I'll take a look at the whole package when it's out. I don't play games that much any more so the idea of something I don't have to upgrade sounds quite appealing.

That price is preposterous.

 

[Ranbay]

yeah, unclear yet if they have the real price or just put that up just in case, as the date also says Dec 31st

 

[Kid_Eternity]

It's a placeholder price, which will change, nothing official has been announced yet. If I was betting I'd go for £399 on launch...

 

[skyscraper101]

I swear I saw an ad before the football which said to pre-order now? So... how is that possible without an official price?

Amazon will take your money based on the price it ends up being?

 

[Ranbay]

yup, got PS4 and Xbox on pre order with them, once they get the price info it will drop.

 

[skyscraper101]

Sounds a bit sus. I like to know what I'm paying before I commit to pay it.

That's quite full on. Buying two competing consoles at launch price!

 

[Ranbay]

not really, they dont take the money till the post it, and the price will be know way before then. done it before will do it again.

You'd have to be to buy Wii U.

 

[Ranbay]

only game i played, i mean really played is lego city... it's ace and the lad can watch me play it

 

[TitanSound]

I rarely buy hardware in it's first incarnation. But going back to 64 player BF is certainly tempting

 

[Ranbay]

My release day PS3 just died the other week, had to get it re flowed but it's working fine now.

Had about 4 maybe 5 xbox's in that time. the latest one has held out well, can't think of any other console that has broken down on me....

 

[mwgdrwg]

I think you're wrong, whether you like it or not. But this is for another thread so lets leave now shall we?

Ok. Once you admit that you're wrong

Xbone though...the E3 presentation will have to be phenomenal to get me even thinking about one. And even then, I don't think I will ever get one just because of the DRM and Kinect. Halo 5, not a fucking TV show, might pique my interest somewhat, maybe.

 

[kabbes]

Even the idea of Halo 5 bores me. Is that really what next-next-next-gen was supposed to offer us?

 

[treelover]

surely that's a error, 600 quid, can't see that doing well in the Uk, if it does then this is one unequal society..

 

[treelover]

you must have a few bob then?

 

[Ranbay]

Helps if you read the posts after it that explain it all.

i do alright for myself thanks.

You can always buy a Wii U for fresh games like The Wonderful 101 etc?

That's what I did!

 

[Ranbay]

It's all about Lego City on the Wii-U, love it


oh and Pikman 3 and Zelda when they come out

 

[mwgdrwg]

My most wanted next-gen game is 'X' by Monolith Soft.

Every company has their flagship titles they produce endless sequels for...can't see a games industry without it tbh...

Fine, but it's not a reason for me to upgrade to a console that otherwise has so many glaring negatives. For that, they're going to have to do a hell of a lot better.

You strike me as a sensible, thinking sort of chap kabbes. You should buy a PC.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Sorry I am not a gamer and can't face going through the whole thread . . . but can someone quickly tell me if this is true?

 

[Crispy]

It's a deliberate scare image, but the technical facts are true. The camera will be watching all the time while plugged into power, even if the console is off. The "continuous recording for targeted advertising" stuff is conjecture and exageration.
