SOHH XBOX 1 Using Blu-Ray is Not a Loss?

[Return of the Jedi]

Y'all still out here buying disc?

Yes, physical media has always trumped digital media.

..except with this XB1 where buying products used is useless.

If u still depend on your gaming system to play Blu-rays and DVDs ur taking the L

It really is insignificant especially with all the streaming services on consoles these days

You do realize that the ps3 is possibly the best bluray player on the market right?

MSFT spent most of this past gen gutting their first party support.

From a business perspective, of course they're winning (And as much as I dislike Xbone right now, they are still in the best position to take first place next gen as well). But I'm not a shareholder.

Outside of 343, what does M$FT bring to the table right now? (And them cats fukkED UP Halo anyways). They don't even own Gears (And once again, it's a dwindling franchise...Gears 3 was phoned in, I've not played Judgement yet but if they are doing prequels already....)

I don't care about exclusive dlc (I don't buy dlc any damn ways). I don't care about timed exclusives

You are welcome to your opinion, but there are a plethora of holes in ye old story. For starters, you praise 343 moments before you trash Halo 4 You say Gears 3 was phoned in? I enjoyed it thoroughly and so did more gamers than any 3 exclusives you would of named on the competition's console put together Microsoft has plenty of 1st/2nd party games on the roster. And next gen they'll have 15 exclusives YEAR ONE. Why you leaving out Fable, Forza, Alan, The epic Zombie game coming out this summer on the old box, before the MMO version hits next year for the new box On PS3, people hide behind the names more than they do the actual game itself. The games suck, the network is atrocious. Have fun playing GT6 when Forza 5: Next Gen edition is available at the same time

"The format was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures."


"The "Blu-ray Disc founder group" was started on May 20, 2002 by MIT and nine leading electronic companies: Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Thomson, LG Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, and Samsung.[2] In order to enable more companies to participate, it announced in May 2004 that it would form the Blu-ray Disc Association, which was inaugurated on October 4, 2004."

Microsoft will maintain its neutral position in supporting the emerging high definition video formats, said Amir Majidimehr, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Windows Media division, in a statement.

MSFT will remain "neutral" as long as they are getting paid royalties to use the codec in the design. Both formats use our codecs so we don't have a preference on which format becomes the accepted one

A myth created by Ps3 users

There are plenty of articles that have it rated as one of the best around. I wasnt basing it on ps3 fanboy mythology that make it seem like it can do no wrong. It actually is a very good machine. Now if you dont play games then there are cheaper options tho. I probably shouldnt have said it was the best, but it is up there in overall performance.

I just hate it when people always credit SONY and SONY alone for Blu ray.

 

[23Barrettcity]

If it insignificant why include it? they seem to have a focus on streaming so if that's all that matters then why even add bluray?

 

[thesandman]

It matters because more information can be fit onto a 50 GB dual layer Bluray disc than a 7.5 gb dual layer dvd.



and I haven't used my PS3 or Xbox to watch dvds/blurays or even stream movies this gen. I have a stand alone Bluray player that does all that sh1t.


Gaming consoles should solely be for games imo, I already have a PC for all that other multimedia bullsh1t.

Are you serious? Look around you. Your phone does more than just call people. Your TV does more than it needs to...honestly if the consoles just improved performance we'd be bored. This is 2013 and some of ya'll need to get over the fact this is what it's all about. This is what pushes the tech forward. I can't believe dudes is ACTUALLY complaining about consoles doing more than JUST gaming. Not like the gaming suffers.

 

[thesandman]

ur proving my point, my phone, pc and tv handles all that extra curriculum sh1t. All I want is a console with great games and graphics


miss me with all that other bullsh1t

I'm not proving anything. You're complaining about NOTHING. If extras effected your GAMING experience then I'd understand. Until it does...

 

[thesandman]

Having to come out of my pocket to game online affects my gaming experience




PS4 will have all the bullsh1t bells n whistles of current XBL and it will be free

um so you're beef is with XBL *shrugs* technically a service and thats a completely different argument but I see what you did there.

 

[thesandman]

my beef is with Xboxone having a less Powerful GPU, less ram, and the lack of a 17 year track record of exclusives that are head and shoulders above the competition

Boo this man... so first you try to cry about consoles in general having EXTRAS now you're just acting like typical fanboy posting wack gifs. I'm done here. Holla @ me after E3
