Just when you think it could end...

IT NEVER ENDS! 8D

That's... pretty sad.

Damn, I was gonna post that when I saw it own Yahoo. And really, he gets free games and subscription to Xbox must rip you off $60/year LIVE for a year for this? Pfft.

Also this bit of news about external drives.

The internal harddrive can't be removed or serviced by the consumer?

That sounds like a challenge! *gets out the screwdrivers*

Specifically, they just don't WANT you to do so.  The hard drive can be physically accessed, but unlike the PS4's, it's buried deep in the system and it's a pain in the ass to get to.  Also opening the console in any way voids the warranty but that should be obvious.

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

So a Kinect-less Xbox One is actually happening for the same price as the PS4.

Truly in full damage control mode.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

Last weekend, I was wondering about the Xbone, as it's been a while.  For a moment, I thought that perhaps the ride did end.  Perhaps there was nothing else.  Perhaps it reached a point where there was nothing else to say about it, and perhaps it would just go quietly into the night.

Thank goodness I was wrong!  Weeeee, another hill! 8D

In a post Tuesday morning, Microsoft also announced the Xbox One and older Xbox 360 console will no longer require a Live Gold subscription, which cost $60 a year, to access streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and HBO Go.

People shouldn't have had to pay extra to use those in the first place. Considering you already pay to use Netflix, Hulu and such.

So XBox Live Gold has essentially become Playstation Plus then? Heh, neat!

Looks like the procrastinating pricks are finally doing something useful for themselves.

But Skynet sees all.

Putting some plastic over a camera isn't going to stop them from hearing every single thing you say!

That's when you put tape over the mic to muffle everything.

OR...

Take some screwdrivers, open the console up, and disconnect the camera and mic connections in the next episode of Video Game Console Autopsy.
