Xbox One might be a VIP club of actual adults.

lol @ angry PS4 fanboys disliking the video.

A post containing an extremely colloquial "lol @" , massive generalizations, and ad hominem, all in under 10 words. And then you turn around and have the gall to allude to yourself being an "actual adult". Come on, dude.

I am buying an Xbox One and I hate the video. Which club do I join.

Sorry. You're an angry PS4 fanboy now.

The special person's invites club.

"it comes with a HDMI cable" -> "that is too cool!!"

"you can use it to play bluray disks" -> "ok!!"



I stopped watching here, I could not go on.

 

[N.Domixis]

What the hell why are people trashing the video? It's a toys-r-us ad. My god some of these people need to get a life and i don't even like xbox

takes less than a minute to dislike a video,they have plenty of time to do other things.

 

[SoldierGryphon]

Then why fall on your sword over it?

Because my criticism against unnecessary and destructive hate keeps getting interpreted as unconditional love for everything Xbox.

I'm not a fan of everything Xbox does. Earlier this year, I was pretty certain I was getting a PS4 because of Microsoft's restrictive policies. I think Microsoft failed in several different ways from DRM, bad marketing, failing to accurately predict PS4's specs/price, and too much focus on Kinect.

Once Microsoft overturned DRM, I preordered the console. Fortunally for Microsoft, they still had the better games IMO.

Tears of laughter.

Still find it lame Microsoft didn't step it up and include the play and charge kit with the controller.... It always seems like there are hidden costs involved with Microsofts consoles.... hopefully the batteries are not complete crap this time. I think there was/is a well known problem with the play and charge kits dieing frequently... at least the ones I have/had did.

It is a plus having the option to change out packs (so u can leave one charging on the stand) and still use the same controller, or use AA's if you are in a pinch though. Still think $60 without a rechargeable battery is pretty lame considering the PS4 pulls it off. (I'm assuming this is one way for them to recoup costs on the Xbox One)

Or maybe the controllers should just have built-in batteries like other 21st century products.

Edit: missed your edit

There are hidden costs with most systems since this past generation. PS3 came with no headset and the charge cable was pitifully short. The Xbox 360 had the play&charge, Live, and hard drives (plus the faceplates, which I sort've miss except for switching them off). Wii felt necessary to have multiple controllers in the beginning. Portable systems have cases for the system and games, screen protectors, stylus', and memory cards (Vita).

With that said, I think one of my play and charge kits crapped out fairly early on, but the DS3 is pretty notorious for dying. Plus and minus on both sides.

All my launch controllers still hold a charge, so I never had issues with those. I did have a issue with the Sony Stereo Headset dying on me. I got that swapped at the retailer right before the warranty ran out though. Actually have a sixaxis controller that I pretty much retired (still works, but I want the rumble). I'd love to have the ability to swap batteries in the PS4 controller, but I still want a rechargeable included. It just seems like a normal feature these days.

 

[Glorified G]

Did you like that video? Really? Why?

Literally everyone here hates the video.

I loved the video, I think it's hilarious. But I wouldn't call anyone a fanboy because they don't nor would I go out of my way to argue and defend it on gaf or youtube.

And seriously, that intro. Am I the only that was reminded of this?

Fabulous!

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

Dat dislike bar....ouuch. Sure as hell doesn't have the Midas touch factor right now.

 

[CambriaRising]

That was hard to watch.

 

[Roo]

Is.. is that guy wearing red lipstick? lol

 

[travisbickle]

It's hardly an xbox demonstration, more like kids pretending to be middle aged presenters from the shopping channel.

 

[serversurfer]

Come on, no self-respecting Xbox fan (I'm a 360 fan) could like that video for anything other than comedy value. "And hey you also get a sweet HDMI cable!"

Perhaps it's made of Twizzlers.

 

[SpecDotSign]

That's not a ps4

First post wins yet again.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This is what console launches are all about. God damn.

My thoughts exactly. I have the feeling the next few months are going to be a glorious blood bath of fanboys on GAF.

 

[Radec]

Well that was something. Did they only shown indies?

lol @ angry PS4 fanboys disliking the video.

Tick tock... Tick tock..

 

[Fatbody]

Curly hair kid needs an antihistamine pronto.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

It's one of the fastest Xboxes so far! That thing is a beast for sure.


....




Sweet.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I thought the packaging was black? What is that green box?

Reminds me of 360 Core Bullshit .

I am expecting a day one edition on day one from amazon

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Tears of laughter.

What?, that's 141 too many likes...

 

[Radec]

Day One edition comes with black beautiful box.

Standard comes with mountain dew green box.

 

[viveks86]

So, I take it "No Skype at launch" (1:42) was news only to me?

Yeah I noticed that too! Just came to this thread and went through all the pages to see if it was being discussed! Was this known before? Or did this kid in a Toys R' Us advertisement inform us???

Why would Microsoft's own Skype not be ready for launch? They never originally planned to release by the 22nd, did they?

I find this random drip feed of info frustrating! I actually have people asking me what is and isn't available at launch and I'm not even sure anymore. Albert, if you are reading this, MS really needs to officially release a comprehensive checklist showing what consumers can expect to get at launch and by the holidays.

 

[Cyborg]

Guys,

Im form Europe but this video is bad in USA to? Right?
I mean this cant be good.........

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Guys,

Yes. This video is bad (or hilariously good) by any standards.

 

[Banzai]

This reminded me of the skits Ryan and Colin do on Whose Line haha. yeah, i know it's just a toys r us commercial, but still.

 

[Summoner]

Jesus that was brutal to watch. If M$/Toys R' Us was purposely was going for that angle of demomgraphic/speech tone....they should have had an animated Michelangelo and Donatello from TMNT do that promo.

That would have been actual cool to watch. Not these DudeBros.

 

[aygomyownroad]

Ages 6 and up? Seriously? Got mt Mega Drive at 5! Does that mean there will be no 3+ rated games?

 

[CadetMahoney]

Did you see the dislikes on that video.

That's normal for bone youtubes isn't it?

 

[Barzul]

Even if I were still a teenager, I would have cringed at the phony "cool" back n forth in that video.
Did the kid in the red shirt just drink some KoolAid, cause his lips are awfully red.
Yea and what's with the Xbox expert looking like a prepubescent Mike Brady?

774 dislikes.

You all got to admit though, the original Xbox infomovie was far more cringe-worthy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWALEOfgkuI

Yeah this original Xbox one is worse, says a lot on how bad it is. Grasshopper, really?

 

[CadetMahoney]

Absolutely ingenious.

 

[Sean*O]

What's the other most powerful xboxes? That looked shit.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Remember when buying games from Toys R Us was relevant? When you had to pick the game from one long isle of tickets and take a slip to the counter, pay for the ticket, and then give it to some creepy dude in a cage who then handed you your brand new seals SNES game? Those were the days.

That's how I got my very first home console, the PS1 with Crash Bandicoot, at 5 years of age.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Even their promo videos don't run at 1080p.

I fucking lol'd.

 

[QuiteUndead]

Tears of laughter.

Yeah
I find it a little strange that almost every video on youtube about the Xbox One looks like this.

 

[FeiRR]

Hey guys, what's your favourite Kinect ad? For me it's this:

http://youtu.be/Gy-j9bAAk7Q

I mean, music of course, but Grandpa is so much full of win!

 

[shinobi602]

Even their promo videos don't run at 1080p.

Holy shit

 

[Timu]

...That was painful to watch.

 

[SeanR1221]

So this video has 26,480 views. The second highest view count on the hottest toy list? 598 for the razor cart.

Wow

 

[PFD]

Ratings have been disabled for this video.

Good job everyone, mission accomplished

So this video has 26,480 views. The second highest view count on the hottest toy list? 598 for the razor cart.

Wow

The Despicable Me 2 talking figures video has 29 views, lol

 

[SeanR1221]

Ratings disabled. I wonder if a lot of people feel accomplished :/

The whole situation is just downright embarrassing.

 

[NoirVisage]

Thank god.

Thank god.

the power of perspective.

 

[bigboss370]

So, I take it "No Skype at launch" (1:42) was news only to me?

wait, what?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

wait, what?

He says "as an update". But I don't know what he's implying. Idk if you should read into that. Or we can just shoot Albert or Larry a question about it.

I've never heard consistent issues with DS3s dying. Mine have worked for years and I've only replaced them because of wear and tear.

 

[JLG-]

Looks like they disabled the ratings now.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Patrick clearly learnt NOTHING from acting in the Giant Bomb GOTY 2012 videos.

 

[Lynn616]

Looks like they disabled the ratings now.

Smart move.
