      Can't wait to see what they announce, but if they decide to stick with their xbox live gold scam I don't think ill buy their new console.

          Ok I lied. WTF is this emphasis on tv viewing? TV programming sucks ass and all the smoke and mirrors in the world isn't going to change the fact that most of it consists of shitty reality tv. Now I'm going to stop watching this.

        They've added a dog companion. This is known as pulling a Molyneux and is the computing equivalent of jumping the shark.

      Looks like it's going to be a great next gen TV Device. I hope it will play games.

      Honestly, this was a stark contrast to the presentation of the PS4. I'm not saying that the system looks bad, I'm saying that the PS4's reveal focused on what was important: Games.

      Isn't this exactly what Garnett was wanting in the wknd confirmed podcast a couple weeks ago. The Xbox One will be plugged into Input 1 on the TV, and then quickly accesses whatever you want from there. It's also really aimed at NFL fans (I am not one!) so Garnett will have to LOVE this device. I will agree that switching between inputs is a pain in the ass, and I do like what they are showing from that aspect.

      Note that I'm still leaning towards a PS4 solely because I don't have a PS3, and want to access their current catalog through backwards compatibility, so that I can play journey, uncharted, last of us and other prior sony exclusives that I've missed.

      I think Nintendo's response should be to release a commercial of people yelling robotic commands at their TV to , contrasted with a person silently and efficiently using their WiiU gamepad to search Netflix.

        If you made it small from the start, how could you sell smaller sleaker versions of it later to people with beat-up/broken old huge ones willing to rebuy it?

        They're going for the "serious piece of HT equipment" look. Not a bad strategy. I always thought the original 360 and PS3 looked silly, like spaceships under your TV.
