News & Rumors: Xbox One (codename Durango)

Not thought that MS could make a console so underpowered with all the human and economic resources at its disposal.If MS wanted to impress in a negative way has succeeded widely,deserves all the negative comments that it is receiving around the forum.

 

No USB port on the front side?

 

I HAVE NO WORDS...

Edge Online was ridiculed by everyone in January, but sadly they were 100% right. Once activated game disc has resell value of ZERO DOLLARS. Activation #2 requires payment OF FULL PRICE. The only value disc has is that it can give you all the game data without slow/long download from the web.

Also, console will ask for Internet connection to authenticate your games daily. I know that pointless gifs are not welcomed here, but...

 

with internal power supply ~100W

 

If you were bringing the game to your friends' house, why wouldn't you just log in with your live account and play for free?

You need an Internet connection that works for a brief period of time once a day? Who has that?!

 

I agree, but I think even using a vapor chamber is significant. Although I was hoping to see someone use the all metal fansink approach of the sandia cooler. Maybe the ps4 I'm just glad we don't have another dull thermal pad/grease and standard heatsink scenario again.

I think it's attractive to them from a repair standpoint.

Although I'm curious how they'll get along without a one to one interface like the Wii U gamepad and PS4 touchpad afford.

 

Annoying an proof the rumour was actually true but the have listened to the internet checking each day is not that bug a deal every five minutes would be a different matter though if they had stuck with that.

Guess they have painted a huge target for the hackers though I hope their security kung fu is strong this time.

 

You can.

It may depend on where you're deployed overseas.

In keeping with fault-tolerance, I would think a more robust scheme would be for the console to try more than once a day in case it needs to start searching for geographically redundant authentication servers, which are hopefully using the assumed uptime policies as enterprise cloud services.

 

I don't know about others, but I'm damn cheap and buy only about 1/5 to 1/4 of the games I play. The rest are borrowed to play on my own account.

XB1 is a non-starter for me.

 

And if don't connect it to the internet for over a day, What happens? Explodes?

 

Just means you can't be completely offline, like never ever connect even once after buying the console from the store. There's some digital trail

Edit: This is much better than the old 3 minute rumor.

 

So Microsft REALLY plans to charge $499 for THIS? For $50 more, I can get a Radeon HD7970 GHz edition.
Please reconsider Microsoft. $299 - $399.

 

I was being sarcastic. A 24 hour heartbeat is a non-issue.

 

While true, I think that Radeon might be a bit less fun to play when it's sitting on the coffee table.

 

They didn't announce a price, as far as I know. So far the prices are only rumours. It could be $500. Doubt it'll be $300.

 

The rest of the computer would probably be like $20, right? I mean, how much can the rest of it cost? It's not like the rest of it is important.
