Meh... not a huge issue for me. I was concerned they were talking about hardware issues. I'll keep my preorder. I can totally see it being an issue for a lot of other people though. TBH all I'm going to be doing on my Xbox One is Ryse and Crimson Dragon. As long as I'm able to do both of those things I'll be happy. I'm have zero intention of paying for XBLG anyway. The PS4/PS+ combo will probably fill 90% of my gaming need. The Xbox One will be for exclusives only.
Yup. People thinking 720p is going to negatively impact the user experience compared to this are out to lunch. On Pluto.

christ what a debacle
Mortimer is the most accurate insider on GAF at the mo. More so than even Cboat of late. Just doesn't get as juicy titbits usually is all. Point is, if he's said it, and backed it up with 4 of his sources, doesn't matter what compelled him to post it, it is most probably true. And you trying to obfuscate around that point is amusing.
You seem desperate for a hug. Need one?
They're both temporary.

God, I hope that's not true. If it is, I'll be using that return policy that Amazon has.

Albert's response should be interesting.

The general consumer does not give a shit about 720p. You tell the general consumer that XBL is buggy and broken and it might take a few weeks/months to fix and that is going to resonate a lot more. Which do you think would do more damage to MS' brand come launch day?

He was waiting on Bish but Bish didn't get back on him, so he decided to put it in his blog.

God this all sounds so horrible. Good thing I will be enjoying 1/2 next gen with my WiiU this holiday. You all can mess around with shody OS's and 720p next gen military shooters.

Could the party system issue be related to the 3 OS thing. The party has to be handed off from the media whatever OS to the game OS, whichever is active at the time?
I totally understand, I've attempted gif editing multiple times and failed. So it's alright if you can't haha, no problem.

These are the kinds of things that need to be ready at launch.
Some devs are pretty frustrated and shaking their heads at these things. As I said, 3 OS's running in VM like HyperV is not needed for a console and they are paying for putting it in but other things are also there that make things harder than they should be. Then there's the readiness and maturity of their tools among several other issues.
a buggy os will be far more noticeable for most people

If I were inclined to buy an Xbox One, which I'm not, the lack of functional online features that I didn't use on 360 wouldn't be a big deal to me. As long as single player games function, the rest of the system could rot for all I care.
But since I'm not interested in Xbox One, I'll happily pretend that this is a personal deal breaker. For a nominal fee.

The entire infrastructure of XBL that made Xbox and Xbox 360 a great online experience...gone. All gone. The fact that they've coded the party chat like that...oh man. What were they THINKING.
Anyone who thinks this will all be fixed in a day one patch...well, have fun.

Well they warned you it was "beta tested in the future."
Overpaying for weaker hardware is a bigger deal to me. Xbox off.

It took them a year post-launch to fix Windows 8.
Check first page, it's a GIF of volcanic eruption as seen from orbit.
So yes, it's a cloud
Can't believe the amount of people upset at Mort's "what if's/it's possibles." You know he's trying to avoid a huge fucking lawsuit with his claims, right?
That said, the possibility of this being true with multiple sources is huge enough to "report." That should not be underplayed. Whether or not this will be Mort's Operation Tailwind has yet to be seen.

Fair enough, but the question I addressed was "what's worse for you?"
Already see many people brushing this off. The thing is, XBL was a shoe-in to be better than PSN for next-gen. Now, that future isn't set in stone. Sony could easily steal the online network crown if they don't drop the ball. It is Xbox's #1 selling point. How could possible issues with it be downplayed?
Did you even read his blog? He mentions CBOAT directly in his post and you think he's jealous of him? What? Get some perspective on what's going on here.

This whole Xbox One situation is exactly like Pretty Little Liars. "A" (CBOAT) knows everything and anything before even Microsoft knows, and is literally fucking them doggy style while wearing a permanent costume, hiding any sort of identity.
