Frog I think that it's really cheap of them to not let Xbox 360 headsets work on the Xbox 720...

Well to be fair people who brought Xbox 360 headsets managed to get a good 3-4 years out of them. I won't mind if they actually release a line of improved heatsets

so if u already pre-orderd the xbox now u have to pre-order the controller and headset ?

I think the controllers look cool though.

They're not? For all the people who bought like 300 dollar headsets that's messed up.

I think that it's really cheap of them to not let Xbox 360 headsets work on the Xbox 720...

they had to put in a headset in the box, just to make the community better or just let the 360 headsets work on the one.

Nothing too exciting to be honest. I'd like to be able to use the headset I've currently had put away for over a year now. What a waste. :/

Madpup70 1: If you don't throw your controller around while rage losing games, then your controller should last close to the life time of your console regardless, which isn't to say that somethings don't just wear down over time, but in most cases if treated well the 360 controller should have never been broken. Anyone who claims that they "wore out" in a few months or a year were throwing them on the ground/wall/door/dog in anger. Hey my roommates controllers never lasted longer than a few months either. I think he spent about $250-$350 a year just on new controllers... but he also always had holes in his walls too.

2: A "must have" headset? But you just claimed that the kinect would work perfectly for xbox live. More Microsoft BS. Doing what they can to make it look like your getting your money's worth when your going to have to cough up so much money compared to PS4. Lets compare

PS4: Your system operates without the PS Camera, giving you the option to go without it or buy it for some extra features. You also get a rechargeable battery in your controller with a charging cable and a headset for online gaming if you didn't have one already. Add in a year of PS+ at it is $450 total, $500 if you decide you want the camera.

XBONE: Your system will not function without the kinect, which adds around $100 extra bucks to what the system would have cost you if it could function without it. Now if you only want one controller and you don't want to spend hundreds on replacing normal AA batteries, you need to buy a $25 dollar charging kit cause Microsoft somehow couldn't fit a rechargeable batter in the hulking controller. Next, if you don't want to be the source of noise pollution to your XBONE Live Friends cause they have to listen to every single voice in your living room, you have to fork over another $25 on a cheaply made headset. Finally for your XBONe Live services you have to pay $60 a year. This makes your total cost $610.

PS4: $450 flat ($500 with camera)
PXBONE: $610

That is a poor comparison, saying you want the Xbox One to work without Kinect is like saying you want a PC without a CPU, the Kinect is an essential part of the architecture and people are bashing it before they try it!

the whole thing about the kinect " changing the whole game experience" is a joke. it didn't change the gaming experience for the previous console, so I highly doubt it will do it this time around. I would be highly surprised if 10 percent of the ppl who bought the Kinect still play actively after a month. None of my friends do; nor do I. I just don't see why I can't buy the console, hook it up, leave the kinect in the box and shove it in the closet where it belongs. The kinect is not needed. Oooh you mean u can swipe tabs by using my hands when I could just use the controller that's already in my hands. Ooh I can say Xbox on when I could simply press the button. The reason they're shoving this down our throats is because they know that no one would buy separately.( which would be a huge loss considering they claim it cost just as much as the xbox itself to make, which I doubt)
I could guarantee you that if MS had an official poll asking if ppl preferred the x1 w/ or w/out the kinect, it would be a 90 to 10 for w/ out.

Then you would also know that 90% of customers are morons like yourself and should never have a say again the future choices microsoft make. Your points are just pointless.Why do you think it didn't change the experience??? Maybe because it was adopted by very few so little game publishers were prepared to create for it. Furthermore the k1 was average compared to k2 with very basic uses however with the extra years of knowledge gained and the improvements in technology k2 should be far superior. People like you always talk in the point of view that the new product is identical to the previous and only implemented on a new system, glazing over the vast improvements. You clearly have no idea and little knowledge of the subject so i would suggest you leave.

TCG 60$ was the price for the xbox 360 controllers when they came out? why are people feeling cheated about it

Because A controller should be with the console so should the mic

Thats so stupid if we dont get a controller with the console its going to be gay we all ready ave to buy a headset ,
