makes me wonder if he was just providing lip service to the people during his political career based on this move.
Gee, you think?
All politicians are liars. Yes, *ALL* of them. That means your favorite too. They're just sociopaths who've learned to leverage their charisma to exert control.
i think he would have been wildly more successful at doing things like ending the wars, closing Guantanamo,
Yeah, it's too bad he doesn't have a son in Congress who could take up that fight. If he did, he could take on assholes like this, who want to keep Gitmo open and the war going.
Why was Ron Paul trying to use the force of government to coerce someone into doing something they were already going to do?
He must be one of those big government liberals. A libertarian like me would have let the free market decide.
Yeah, it drinks pretty heavily now

Ethernet's fiber-optic wife left him for Wifi. His kids call the new guy daddy. The child support leaves him living in a run down shithole where he can barely even do 10 Mbps. Life just wasn't what he'd hoped it would be.
I think I may go back to PC gaming this generation. Those games are loaded with DRM too, but at least the games are cheap and developers are upfront about restrictions. I just really hate to go back to chasing that upgrade dragon.
What, you mean you don't want your console to put an annoying kludgy overlay on top of your cable box?!?!?!? Don't you want your living room filled with the magic of MS ads?!?!?!?
You people are so ungrateful. Here MS is kind enough to allow you to pay $50 a year for the privilege of paying Netflix $8 a month to watch movies, and THIS is how you repay them?! Ingrates!
What really should worry people is the possibility of someone figuring out how to hack it. Or some MS employee realizing that he now has a limitless supply of free dorm room pron.
Well, looks like developers finally found a way to drive GameStop and its ilk out of business. First they made it impossible to sell used PC games, now they've finally come for the used console games too.
Anyone remember that EA bullshit about SimCity needed to "offload" some of it's processing (which was proven false by a hacker later)? Well, one of the things they mentioned specifically at the announcement yesterday was that the Xbox One would feature this capability (they bragged as if it was a good thing). And with them highlighting EA as a partner, you can bet you'll see plenty of One games that require always-online connections, to connect to EA servers for "processing."
And do tell, exactly how are you going to play offline when every developer is going to claim that their game has to offload some of its processing to the "cloud" now (you know, the way EA did with SimCity)?
Maybe if you pray hard enough, Jesus will miracle your game to work.
Games/saves on stored remotely is a deal breaker for me.
Maybe they're trying to help gaming addicts. When the internet goes down, Xbox gamers will have to go out into the streets along with all the crying WoW players, and get some sun.
At least with the PS4, I won't have to pay $50/year just to watch Netflix. Much as I hate Sony and used to love Xbox, I've had enough of that. None for this coming generation, thanks.

Only if it features a robot.
More Coors takes the pain of remembering away.
I'm shy, and also an asshole. Surely that means I have a syndrome, right?
I'm turning off your Kinect sensor, HAL.
I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dave....wait....What are you doing Dave?
I'm returning you to the store, HAL.
I still have nightmares about the episode where the Galactica kids played little league.
I just hope the hot girl in the apartment next door is an Xbox fan.
And miss out on all those great ads splashed on top of your cable signal? No way! ;-)

Yeah, but does Sony have a Halo TV series? I think not!

Presumably, you can turn it off from the console. But you, of course, have to take MS's word that it's really off.
I tell you what I don't want: an Xbox One.

I suspect that demo was completely staged. There was probably someone behind the scenes actually running it.

It's a reboot of the series.
