suppose to be able to watch TV from it also.

[Bully]

[Squids]

They should of stopped making consoles after the super nintedo, perfection had been reached.

[Banker]

I'm with you squids.

Why spend 1k when I can play:

Mario Kart on SNES
Goldeneye on N64
Gran Turismo 2 on Playstation 1

[Strawb]

$899 from EB games I am in no hurry for one or the PS4. I am happy with what I have now.

Super International Cricket was the best.

Dunno some of the games out of Japan and The States are good on the SNES.

How much will it cost and when will we get it?

Beyond the "later this year", there has been no information on timing or pricing for the Xbox One. Over at the EB Games Australia site, it was listing the price as AU$899 on a placeholder page, but that's since been removed.

The pricing question is tied in to the model question — will the Xbox come in differently priced versions (usually with different storage capacities) or will Microsoft take this opportunity to put its foot down and offer just a single device with a single set of specs?

The smart money would be on Microsoft launching the Xbox One in the US for no more than US$499, but what that will translate to when the One arrives down under is anyone's guess.

Ha!

I saw the preview for Forza 5 which is supposed to be on the Xbox One and it looks terrible. Doesnt even look like a step up.

[HH3]

Ive also just been told the Xbox One will NOT work without Kinect plugged in. Plus they've put microphones on the console. Also, it has to be connected to the internet to contact Microsoft once daily.

So in essence, Microsoft has visual and audio of you at all times while the Xbox is on.

No thanks.

i like how the wii is a stationary pole.

Someone said Nintendo's new slogan should be "we aren't looking too bad now are we".

[The Sleeping Giant]

LMAO

[The Sleeping Giant]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I will give this generation a miss, and stick to the PC gaming.

[Wedgie]

I'll have to get one or the other for my lad, what's the initial reactions?
Xbox 1 or PS4

And I hope for **** sake kicknit doesn't have a preference for one or the other. Probably waiting for an Apple gaming console anyway

[The Sleeping Giant]

Apple do have one in the works apparently.

Looks like the new Xbox and ps4 are going to be very similar.

[Wedgie]

Couple of exclusive Xbox games might sway the lad and I but wouldn't mind a Sony to add to the collection of our ps1, 2 and PSP, could play Ratchet and Clank again!
