All of that is really great but i think that the deal breaker for me is adding the full retail fee when you give a friend your disk and whenever you buy a pre-owned game.

We don't know if that's going to happen or not, Microsoft hasn't said " hey were putting a fee on used games".. Don't beileve what the internet says unless it from a legitimate source

I think the Xbox ONE looks is not looking good at all so far. There were only a few good things so far that I liked. I really like the controller, it's a perfected iteration of the previous one.

Other than that, that's it. Not only did they show only like 4 games, Quantum Break whose "teaser" reveal made little to no sense. You would expect them to release something that has gameplay to show off what there console can do but no, they chose to do a live action trailer. And the other was COD, which, against all odds Activision did it again: graphically looks worse than Metro: Last Light, a current-gen game. Call of Duty has never been a graphics sort of game and it never will in my opinion. Why they chose to try to show off CoDs graphics seems silly to me. And none (other than Forza and QB) will be exclusive. So essentially, they only showed Forza and QB.

Now, you could argue that not all the games could have been showed off so early with E3 just around the corner. But then that begs the question, why show it all? It's supposed to be a console. Not Roku. Look at Sony's PS4 event.

The voice commands seems so stupid. It is such a gimmick just like the original Kinect. When I come home after wrestling practice I want to crash on the couch and play. I do not want to shout at my Xbox or wave my arms in the air.

But (there's that but again), Microsoft has utterly failed to present this to gamers. I mean, on a console unveiling they talked about an upcoming Halo TV Series? That is an insult. Even friends of mine who love Halo to death felt insulted; they wanted a new game or something along the lines, not being plastered with ads through a TV show about their beloved game. Because we all know the money-hungry executives decided to make the Xbox Community the perfect cashgrab by turning beloved series into TV shows with no soul. Also how does this have anything to do with your Xbox that is what everyone came to see?

That and there's the issue with not being able to play a game on a friends' house without having to sign in. Or more importantly, let's say I finished a game, and gave it to my friend. I can't do that anymore. He/she will have to "buy" the game from my Xbox Live account, which will essentially kill second-hand sales as the profits will most certainly go to MS or the publisher. IF I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THE GAME MY FRIEND SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM BORROWING IT AND PLAYING IT AT HIS HOUSE!

They argue this has always been this way on PC. But what they forget is that hardware sales on PC is nothing but a distant memory. Software is what sells, thus the restriction in place making sense. But after I buy an actual COPY of Forza I can't gift it to a friend or family member unless they are either signed-in or they re-buy it again? So then what happens to the piece of hardware I just bought? Does it suddenly turn into an automatic money-making machine for publishers every time a game is lent or given away? You bet your ass it does! I mean, business-wise it's bloody genius, but the level of greed is just disgusting.

I mean, I can already imagine, not being able to sell your own games through a garage sale without putting a sticker on the box that reads: "Here's my Live ID. This game is yours for 2000 MS points!"

And don't be confused. It's all a big cluster**** that Microsoft knows consumers hate. Why do you think at first we were told there's no online requirement, and yet Phil Harrison later confirmed to Eurogamer that the Xbox One REQUIRED an internet connection every 24 hours, which is literally the same thing, and yet, such a big issue was never addressed at the unveiling, or a separate panel? Because they don't want you to know, that's why. They didn't even have the common decency to at least admit a sizable portion of their customers had concerns about an specific unconfirmed feature and clear things out, no. The flat-out ignored it. Essentially, DEAL WITH IT?

They hope we don't notice; just like they did to millions of Xbox users who, if presented with the following: "With clear, substantiated facts, please, answer: why the HELL do you pay for online?" No real answer will be obtained.

Also another thing that bugs the shit out of me is how they are killing off Indie games that choose to self publish. I myself make games and as a small game designer this makes me furious.

Overall I liked the PS4 press conference better and I currently just own a PS2 and a Xbox 360. I do not understand how a bunch of you idiots are to blind to see how bad that press conference was. They were just repeating the same gimmicky sh!t over and over again. The PS4 was 2 hours long (Xbox One was 1 hour) and yes they did repeat some of the same shit over and over again but they actually showed off their exclusives and did not give you a ton of BS like voice commands, TV and a Halo TV show.

Microsoft has a lot to prove at E3.

Yes they have when they were taking questions after the press conference.

The simple fact is that Microsoft have gone off track with what the xbox is supposed to be all about. It seems like they have concentrated more on multi media such as TV, Music, DVD rather than the gaming side of it which the xbox is ment to be for. If i wanted to watch tv i would just go to my living room and turn on sky...

Actually, Microsoft said that you can play a game at your friends house if you're on your account, but if your friend wants to borrow it for a time, they have to pay a fee.

They also said there's a trading system on Xbox One now for Online Games.
