    I got a couple important questions that will hopefully be answered at E3. Can you change out the hard drive with a regular laptop drive? 500GB might last a while but games are getting bigger, and there are 1.5 TB 2.5 inch drives coming out now so anyone who hates installing games constantly will want to get one. Also, what happens when your Live account gets the banhammer? What if your friend/ little brother used your account for a few minutes and did something naughty? They already make customer service hard enough and will tell someone in that scenario the they were responsible for that account and will have to wait out suspensions instead of fixing it just once. Kinda like that one EA story with the guy who got banned from the forums AND his single player games. It makes you wonder if even MS thought about about this or cares since they got their money for games and a live subscription.

    Honestly, I don't think they could have made the XBoxONE announcement any worse for the hardcore gamer. I keep thinking that maybe it's an elaborate ruse, because no company would ever want to shoot itself in the foot as badly as Microsoft is doing right now.

    I agree whole heatedly with this article. Seems much more down to earth than IGN where people will not accept the reality of things. You should look at the comments, most make absolutely no sense. I really think there should be an IQ requirement for the use of the internet sometimes.... :/ Some of them want the Kinect 2.0 to be bundled with every console without choice. Some are happy for always online. Even some wanted them to go straight to digital sales (then there would be absolutely no difference than a PC). I think Microsoft is about to crumble under the tower their trying to build. If they continually keep pressing games into being a digital service, they will just make the console market obsolete. Without physical copies and the ability to trade in games, you pretty much destroy what makes a console different from a computer. But leave it to the ignorance of many gamers to keep the ship sailing, right guys? If Nintendo didn't botch up the Wii-U so badly, I wouldn't have much to worry about. But so far, I'm concerned with how things are headed.

    So #3 is the only one that kind of has some appeal. But I still don't see those things convincing me to buy it. Put a $200 price tag on it, and I'll consider it. But otherwise, I don't want it.

    Microsoft would have to do all of these at E3 for me to even be slightly interested. Based on their reveal I doubt they can manage any of these.

    I know I keep mentioning it, but I'll say it again. First I agree with this article about how to win back folks. But as a product living up to the promise of a home system... 1) TV this and TV that. Ok, great. But the more I look into it, I find that not only is the XBone NOT a TV DVR, but IT NEVER WILL! The digital signal is encrypted, and the license which has to be bought from Intel in order to have the keys to decrypt require any middle device strictly not copy the stream. It can only pass it through and re-encode on it's way to a monitor. In other words, if XBone ever tried to do it, they'd have their license revoked and be in legal trouble. So how good will it be at "TV this", and "TV that" when TV is only live, not recorded? Hardcore gamers, might not have a problem with that, as many just watch TV via Torrents and stuff anyway. However average household with TV service....uh, no way XBone can even touch that. It's just not even possible or legal. So again, fail on the "TV" story here. At least that's how I see it. 2) Fee on used games. I'm livid about that. And the news keeps getting worse. Now they want to lock out indie developers. Hey, let's just make this EVEN MORE about big corporations parting gamers from their money, and see how that works. 3) Kinect 2. I'll wait and see. Might be awesome. I'm betting not a big seller in the end. 4) Games. I'll even give benefit of doubt here. Maybe it will be plain awesome. So the way I see it, they might keep core gamers in the end, especially if they cave on the used game thing, but I see no way they will expand the role beyond what XBox 360 is today, other than now Xbox fan boys finally get their Blu-ray drive integrated and retire that pizza box blu-ray player from the media center below the TV. Something that Sony already had long ago. I honestly believe gamers have nothing to fear about MS moving away from gamers. They are already set up to fail at doing so. In the end, gamers will get a platform that retreats back to gaming with a bevy of nifty features, some of which may even be useful, if they can stomach all the extra fees that go with XBone.

    I can't believe indie devs still care about xbox. Valve, Sony, Android, and even Apple treat them better. Is it even worth it for a team of less than 10 to release a game to the xbox audience while jumping through MS's expensive flaming hoops. Although, they probably have some fans who can only get their game through xbox and care enough about the fans to put up with this malpractice.

    Ouch, that's the most ironic thing I have ever seen, considering Microsoft welcomed Indies with open arms out of the big 3 and gave them their own section to give birth to popular Indie games. Funny how the tables have turned, with Sony and Nintendo getting Indie support.

    This is simple. Coming from the car tuner community, i'd say the biggest thing they need to really add is: - engine swaps cross make/company - yes, its more common to find a RX-7 with an LS1 (corvette engine) than a cobalt... 2JZ and 1JZ swaps are more common in BMWs, Nissan/Datsuns then Celicas and corollas... I was excited seeing the ability to do engine swaps in Forza but disgusted at the limited options. And lets be even slightly realistic about the swaps here... smart car aint gonna fit a Mercedes v12... please... It would be cooler to put a hayabusa motor swap into the smart car -CAUSE ITS ACTUALLY BEEN DONE. - Realistic tuning abilities, computer tuning, not just mechanical which is what upgrades in the previous games are centered around. You should be able to tune AFR and fuel trims, ignition timing, boost on turbo applications. This will make the game stand out more than its beauty. - More tire physics and improvements. Drag slicks, race slicks, drag radials, street tires, sport tires, seasonal tires, touring tires. They do not have the tires right. Drag slicks are 100% useless in the Forza 4 on the dragway. They should hook and the car should move, not spin out of control. 1/4 miles times are not even close...

    What do I want most? Vinyl group resale. I can't make a logo from scratch to save my life. My last stick figure wanted to commit suicide to escape its horrible deformities, even. BUT...and this is a big but...I can take a collection of parts, and make something that's far more than the sum of them. If the comments supported links, I'd give some examples. With T10 having an extremely iron-fisted approach to dealing with design theft, that means I can't participate in the painting community at all. Possession is 10/10ths of the law for them, even if you got it from a guy that got it from a guy that got it from a guy that got it from a guy that stole it from a guy that doesn't have it up anywhere to check and see if it's stolen...so to avoid that headache, I don't sell anything. My homemade stuff isn't good enough, and I don't trust anyone else's stuff. If I could go on to the storefront, buy a design marked as 'Authorized for resale', and build cars out of that? Game, set, match, dream come true.
