I'm more concerned about Player 1.

This is all just ... weird. Who honestly even cares about switching the inputs on their TV? Plus my TV just stays on the input it was on last..."Input One" doesn't mean anything.

I agree 100%, in the end it's filling a need that doesn't exist.

I'm now all but convinced that Phil Harrison is indeed a sleeper agent for Sony.

Lol Cliff is great.

I'm now all but convinced that Phil Harrison is indeed a sleeper agent for Sony.

He joined 1 year ago, this plan is at least 3 years in the making, all he'd be able to do is nod and smile.

Especially when a lot of us have universal smart remotes. I have no idea what our TV inputs are on. We just hit 'TV', 'Movie' or 'Music'.

If there is truly a new cheap Xbox 360, I'll bet it will be a input device for the XB1. Hopefully it won't only work with the XB1...

 

[Freki]

Since this confirms the leaked documents...

299$ - calling it now.

edit: maybe this is the subscription based pricepoint... who knows

I don't have much to add here other than: she's just so goddamned cute.

I know what it meant the moment I read it, but the thing is I don't give a shit if I need to switch inputs with my remote to use a different device. I'm not dysfunctional, I can do this without your help MS.

It would be like a car company focusing there advertising on "New Car. Auto Open Gas Cap." Who gives a shit if you have to twist the fucking filler cap off or it opens itself, it's such a simple task in the first fucking place.

 

[webkatt]

I have a 2.1 Soundbar with multiple HDMI inputs, It's made by Sony.

My Tv is currently using 1 of 4 of it's HDMI inputs.

MS is a godsend, made my life so much easier!

If it does launch at $299 that would be pretty crazy.

Ya I don't know why they didn't do the actual conference title

“Xbox: A new Generation of Games Revealed.”

Seems odd.

 

[DBT85]

Free slogan for Xbone:

"Play awesome games you can't get elsewhere"

that one's free MS.

Pachter was right, people on this board have no idea.

Clearly his slogan was an exaggeration (you see that, GAF? There are other words for hyperbole).
I think the point he is trying to make is how awful the slogan is.

Give it a rest. Plenty of us have an idea, and think this is a shit slogan.

Clearly I need to put /sarcasm after my posts.

 

[RMI]

I would have never have figured out what this is supposed to mean if it had not been answered in this tread.

I guess it is a major hassle to switch between HDMI 1 for my PC, HDMI 2 for my PS3, and component for my Wii U.... wait. NO IT ISN'T A FUCKING HASSLE AT ALL! This is not a feature, Microsoft! Make a goddamned effort. Jesus Christ you're like that guy we all knew in high school and were decent friends with, but not besties or anything, and now we're all at the same party but you're really drunk and annoying and we all wish you would just GO HOME.

 

[Freki]

I think so too - but this document is basically spot on on everything - just glanced over it again...

 

[Jomjom]

If it really is $299 Sony shouldn't even bother showing up.

Sony announces ps4 for $299 (armi0x would still eat that hat?)


Fuck it all =D

[NullPointer]

Since this confirms the leaked documents...

299$ - calling it now.

Is there any mention of changes to Gold? I'd imagine there has to be some kind of contract/subscription terms for a price like that to fly.

Unless the NSA is covering the costs that is.

*With $15 a month Xbox Live subscription for 2 years

Yep.

 

[breakfuss]

*With $15 a month Xbox Live subscription for 2 years

haha, no way anyone would pay that.

Oh my sides, hurt, this is too much dude

The same document points to "mix and match services?" It would be crazy if there was some buffet style choosing for what you wanted on live.
WITH free multi of course...sigh.

This I simply can't believe. I hope I'm wrong though. The only way a console is getting to 100m+ world wide is with a cheap starting price.

With that hardware in the PS4 no way can they do 299.

I asked Columbo, but he couldn't figure this one out either.

299 would be insane.

 

[nib95]

Damn, wonder if they can launch it at that. The hardware is certainly unambitious enough performance wise lol. Except for Kikect 2.

 

[RMI]

Sony has already shown that they can launch a console way more expensive than all their competitors and still outsell them. Anyway, no way the Xbone is $299 unless it requires a contract.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I seriously don't think microsoft knows what a surround sound receiver is.

Input 1 on my TV is my receiver output. My cable box plugs into my receiver. Exactly how am I going to watch TV on my Xbox, microsoft?

 

[Graphics Horse]

This I simply can't believe. I hope I'm wrong though. The only way a console is getting to 100m+ world wide is with a cheap starting price.

They can afford it, especially if it's subscription only.

 

[GeeDuhb]

Input On(c)e. Game is yours forever. Unless 10,000 other things.

What if it's mandatory anyway?

 

[idlewild_]

With that hardware in the PS4 no way can they do 299.

Due to X1 coming with the Kinect 2.0, the BoM for PS4 is at most even with the X1 and quite likely cheaper.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

That was probably with the subscription model, which rumors said it was cancelled. Still a possibility.

Yep.

Yes - it mentions new live tiers:

For further information - you can get the document here

When someone figures out CliffyB's tweet let me know.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Look at the ps3 launch... They took a massive lost then.. probably 2x more then what they would on the ps4 launch at that price

 

[Volotaire]

They could, with a contract to Xbox Live.

 

[GQman2121]

What?

Xbone could absolutely launch at that price.

Wouldn't you plug the cable box into the Xbone, and the Xbone into the receiver?

 

[MomoPufflet]

Good catch;

The summary version actually reads better than what they went with. Not saying it's good, but it's better.

There is no way it's $299 without subsidies. That can't be true.
