Cheaper than a Ps4 here. Reverse compatibility is cool, because i never had a 360.

And then i got a Ps4 anyways.

>>318092489
At launch I preferred a PS4.

Mostly because I didn't have to pay more for an optional addon.
An optional, useless addon.

I bougth exactly 1 year ago and Iam much happy with it. Also, bougth a PS4 today cause Bloodborne.

I haven't and I love the 360 and original Xbox. Plus it seems like a lot of the Xbone exclusives are coming to PC.

However, if J Allard returns to lead his tribe to the promised land, I will buy and Xbone ASAP.

I prefer the exclusives (though I wish Microsoft had better support for Japanese games). The online is much better and reliable. I also prefer the Xbox community and controller better.

Because they played the trailer for Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix and I immediately got one, the same way I had bought a 360 for Dead Rising 1.

And I am really happy with it, I love the Xbone. It's actually a really neat system, and I am constantly buying games for cheap due to gold sales. And the ability to snap apps and keep games running in the background (i.e. play a game, switch to YouTube and eat dinner, and go back to the game and not have to restart it and load my save file) is a godsend.

Also the controller is love.

I never had a 360, as I said, but have played hundreds of hours. Xbone controller is better, trust me, Iam white.
>>
>>318095590
Yes, holy shit yes. I tried to go back and play 360 games and it's impossible after using the Xbone.

It's night and day. The sticks are so much more refined, the triggers are so hot. It feels great in your hand.

And I used to think the 360 had the best controller.. then the Xbox One happened..

>>318095271
I live in Brazil man, this controller probably costs something like 100 bucks here...

Exclusives and more friends own Xbone

I got mine the week after E3, they sold me on it along with giving out 100 dollar credit for a 2007 360 and tossing in a free game.

Because of MS's shenanigans prior to launch I lost some old 360 pals to PS4 land, I can't blame them

The snap feature really isn't that great... I like it in theory but the xbone lags too much to use it effectively, trying to load up acheivements in snap takes like 30 seconds, it's quicker to hit the playstation home button and go to what you want than it is to use snap.

Selling it off now. UI is clunky and slow, games need to be installed, controller sounds like blender when vibrating, can't play my free xbox games with gold when no gold subscription and not many games to choose from.

Gonna 360, pc abd 3ds next 2-3 years til crackheads start selling xbones under 200 and games are cheap and available.

>mfw people have bought either

Why? There is no point yet. Neither have enough exclusives to justify a purchase.

I will say one thing in Microsoft's favor though, they're actually attempting backwards compatibility in a legit "if you own the 360 disc and it's on our list it's compatible" sort of way.

I've heard half-ass shit from Sony so I don't know about that yet.

Potentially, bungie's is focusing on destiny 2 but there might be one more expansion but there was talk saying that one would be free, at $35 you get more value with TTK than a current $60 triple A game

Keep in mind you need to spend some time reading the grimoire cards on bungie's website as you unlock them in game, this is where a lot of the context for the game resides in. For the first time we actually have grimoire system for the game where bungie's previous installments were in books in Halo and Marathon.

I don't like reading all that much bur the cards are neat and organized that don't make reading each topic so long winded, it adds more value to the game for me than other games I've gotten into.

>realize the rest of the PS4 exclusives look fucking trash compared to the XBone's
the buyers remorse is real
>>
1. Sony is shit
2. Sonyggers are the worst fucking people
3. Halo MCC and Halo 5, Halo's the only good FPS series left besides Quake Live
4. Best online service across all systems, you really get what you pay for

>>318110119
This was one of the games I bought. Its definitely far from a perfect game but I like it and I'm surprised by how good it looks and how stable the framerate is when there are lots of ODs and explosions on screen.

is SSO worth 20$?

I did though, made lots of friends on halo and mw2 many years back, they were still on my account but I deleted them because it would be awkward talking to them after all these years
