Topic: The new next-gen 2013 Xbox reveal (discussions here)

[Fxeni]

Ehh... not all the games were running on the PS4. I'll just keep it at that.

[Flame]

But the point is, they at least had PS4s running

[Protoman Blues]

Allllllllllllllllllways lower!

[Police Girl]

We all just have to wonder what they could possibly do next to further show their arrogance and blind faith that gamers are sheep that'll buy anything under their nose.(Not that there aren't Sheep, but we aren't all sheep.)

Though, what's the tally for the stupid [parasitic bomb] Microsoft has done now? I'm sure one exists.

Let me try and think of the series of events:

-TV SPORTS TV SPORTS

-Don Mattrick tells people that if people don't have a reliable internet connection that they should stick with the 360.

Don, I [tornado fang]ing plan on it 'til I get me a Wii U, [sonic slicer].

-Don Mattrick calls Backwards Compatibilty and people who care about it 'really backwards'

Like their ability to think logically?

-$500

> Wii U Basic: $300
>> Wii U Deluxe: 350
> PlayStation 4: 400

U mad, Micro$oft?

-Japan isn't on the launch list

Boooooo!

-Day One Edition Preorder with Achievement and DLC

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

-Doritos/Mountain Dew Promotion

At this point, I believe Doritos and Moutain Dew to be the promoting whores of snacks and soft drinks, which is why I go for this:

Sun Chips are the best kind of chips~

[Police Girl]

Sun Chips are pretty tasty.

I prefer Ruffles with Cottage Cheese though.

[ViperAcidZX]

They go great with hummus~

[Sakura Leic]

I kinda like these Blue Corn tortilla chips with Flax Seed I get at Target.

[Phi]

In terms of chips, Sun Chips and Bugles are probably my two favorite.

[Flame]

They still make bugles?

[Phi]

You bet!

Though I've mainly seen them in vending machines.

[Police Girl]

Do they not sell them where you live?

I see the big bags at the grocery store all the time.

[Flame]

I haven't really searched for them. So I might just not have noticed them. They certainly don't get advertised anymore.

[ViperAcidZX]

This was the last Bugles commercial I remember ever seeing.

Technically already posted, but that "forfeit the license" thing? Now worse.

[Flame]

All this bullshit with used games?

Possibly actually illegal.

Xbox, please, go home.

[Quickman]

There's ALWAYS lower, worse, stupider, and more inane.

[Sakura Leic]

Okay couldn't find their brains in prehistoric times, I'm heading for the 1950's next anyone want to come with?

[Phi]

Clearly their brains are in the 60s, heavily afflicted with LSD along with the other hippies.

[Ahrzayl]

Awww, but I likd hippies.

[Hypershell]

so...

Not a lawyer, but my understanding is as follows:

The way it's legal is that they craft some Terms of Service that nobody ever looks at to make the end user agree to it and give up their rights.  You can of course reject a ToS and enjoy your expensive paper weight, but as long as it qualifies as a form of copy protection, then the act of circumventing it is illegal under the DMCA.

[Police Girl]

They later addressed that this was regarding the 360.

Though it'll probably be the same for the one.

Also, I suspect that Microsoft's evil team of corporate attorneys would be apprised of this and have already found ways to circumvent it.  They would have tackled that snag long before any announcement was made, so as to avoid legal entanglements.

Nothing personal against hippies, they're a fun bunch. But a lot of them did use LSD...

Come to think of it, I just placed Microsoft along with them. Microsoft is the exact opposite of "fun."

Forget it then!
