What are peoples thoughts and will you be ordering one? I will be

[spuk87]

I wasn't too interested but since seeing Forza 6 and the fact that Watch Dogs will be on there...tempted. Depends on price probably for me.

[CocoPops]

Yep, I'll preorder as soon as I can. Forza 5

[WrightStuff]

Terrible name.

No interest at all the next Call Of Duty. Hopefully all that power will inspire some originality in the gamemakers.

 

 

[j0n]

No price yet though, they are probably to scared to say at this stage 

[spuk87]

Oops, got a bit ahead of myself with Forza 6 . Same here re: Call of Duty, couldn't give a monkeys.

[Rudy]

It's being slated by the press already! Unbelievable. Yup, will be upgrading

[j0n]

That's expected. I'm sure they've already secretly pre ordered

[johnathan]

I think I'll get one, if can get enough spare money together, I reckon at least 399 on release. Battlefield 4 will be epic

[TazN]

Far from close to wanting to pre-order it. More so than the PS4 there are way to many questions that need answeres for me to want to put my money on a console.

 

Some of the games look very tasty and hopefully developers will use the increase power for background stuff rather than just chucking polys at the problems.

Looks good but as usual we are loosing backwards compatibility I am a massive gamer but don't want to have yet another console cluttering up my tech pile thays said does loon pretty good anyone know if you tske your xbl account across or need a new one or can we use ut kb both xbox and Xbox One.

[chris_uk]

Best thing to do is get into pc gaming much simpler.

[VX Boyd]

Pre ordered already. Although I was hoping the graphics would be a bit more impressive after seeing the Forza and especially CoD trailers.

 

To answer Wreely, I think I read somewhere your account can be used on both. It would make sense since current live account can be linked to and used on PCs and Windows Phones.

One of the guys at work has a brother quite high at Microsoft. He's a little annoyed he doesn't already have one in his living room haha

[Gedi]

I'm hoping to get one next month, I'll let you know if I do

[mbes2]

all the previews are not even real gameplay , just videos.... ?

[techieboy]

Looks like a nice bit of kit with huge power on tap and I like the monolithic styling of it. Name works for me as well.

 

Have had Xbox 360 here since shortly after launch. Maybe 12 hours use on it. At least 5 years since it was last turned on.

 

Have had a PS3 here for 3 years. Maybe 6 hours use on it. At least 2 years since it was last turned on.

 

Console gaming (in fact any gaming) is just a bit w4nk, especially anything that involves having to deal with some little fcuknugget in the US (or anywhere else). My interest level lasts all of 30 minutes before being thoroughly bored of any game.

 

I've no idea what all the whingey/whiney fanboys are moaning and bitching about either. You've already got a 360 (if you haven't, why are you worried), so you've already got the backwards compatibility you claim to need. You're getting a massively powerful and flexible new box, if you want new generation games. As far as I can see, MS have done exactly the right thing with this box and tried to make it the centre of any interaction you have with your TV (MS Media Centre is still just about the best 10' interface there is). All the stats say that Xbox/PS3's are used for multimedia duties 60%+ of the time anyway and streaming subscriptions for games, video and music are rapidly becoming the norm. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it's sold at a loss in order to push the subscription model.

I bet you wouldnt get bored of a good racing sim.

[techieboy]

I bet you wouldnt get bored of a good racing sim.

 

Unfortunately, I think I would. They just don't do anything for me. I've been to the Lets Race sim place at Gatwick and also the Race House place at Bedford Autodrome and it's entertaining for 20 minutes or so and then the boredom kicks in.

[Claws]

I tend to fall asleep during races longer than about 15 laps
