Whoa there Kemosabe, what's this "us" you're referring to? My not liking the direction MS went is in no way an endorsement of Sony.

When I said "us" I was referring to ... well, the entire internet :p

I haven't seen much if any pro XB1 stuff since Monday. Look at Reddit/Gaming, look at any news site and see the beating MS is taking.

Our very own forum has a poll that is currently 4:1 in favor of the PS4.

My 40 GB PHAT PS3 HDD failed, I replaced it with a 200 GB and then a 500 GB later on.

It happens. You're experience isn't the be all and end all of consumer experiences. The fact that you allow MS to control you on this among the other things and see it as a non issue plants you firmly in that fan boy mode that you claim others of being.

you seem to have a lot of hdd failures. you must be doing something wrong. i take care of my stuff.

I have allegiance to no company either. Xb1 isn't a gaming console, it is being forced to be much more and failing miserably. If your primary goal was just the best "GAMING" system, you would be on board with the PS4 as the rest of us are.

so let me get this straight...

even though the x1 has more games announced at launch that i am interested than the ps4 does at launch, and will be the best "GAMING" system for me, i should be on board with the "PS4 club" just because the rest of the internet is?

you can claim all you want about not having an allegiance, but you clearly do. your posts speak for themselves.

and since you came in here spewing nonsense and think you are mr-know-it-all, i have both a ps4 and xbox1 preordered and haven't made up my mind 100% either way what i'm doing. it could be both, it could be the xbox1, or it could be none. thankfully i don't have to pick sides like some of you seem to be so stuck on doing.

I've had 2 hard drives fail over the last 10 years, but I use a lot of them at once -- my jukebox now only has 1 instead of 3 (thanks to storage space growing from 60 GB to 1+ TB) but my work PC has 2 and my gaming PC has 3 (2 - SSD, 1 - platter).

HDDs fail. Read the Newegg user feedback for any drive and you'll see many failure reports. Some entire lines had flaws that caused early failures, like IBM's "deathstars" (desktstar line).

That said, I don't really worry about drive failure, or about the X1 drive being sealed or a locked version. With X1 DRM you should be able to just re-download anything you lose.

You still don't get it. It is about consumer rights. I know we in the US are used to getting bent over by corporations but you need to wake up.

I agree. MS is treating its fans like bitches. Those willing to put up with it, sound like they have battered woman syndrome. "Sure he beats me, but he does have some good games."

You need to stop spewing nonsense. You were going "FU MS" and shit like that all during the PS4 conference. Now you just want to bow down to the Communists at MS who will report your usage to the PRISM program and shit.

thanks for telling me things i already knew, i appreciate it!

lucky for me the 20gb was big enough to last me since launch! pretty sure that the 500gb drive will be more than enough for me. i have a 500gb drive in my ps3 and it's a waste of empty space. i should have just kept my 60gb hdd in there that came with it.

it's just hilarious how fanboys try to make as many points as they can so their side can "win" the war! WHAT A SOLDIER!!

Dang, that's kinda overwhelming. Hopefully that's the big load, and then it tapers off till spring, there's a lot there I'd like to play.

That isn't the launch line-up (neither is the PS4 list) -- that's every title that's been announced to come out over then next couple of years.

For example Titanfall is currently slated for Fall 2014, but dates could slip.

Is it sad the only game I'm really interested in is coming out on the Wii U and it's probably not even coming to the US? :(

You know what I don't like about the new game? The Ultra Combo announcer saying. :( It's all about nostalgia, and instead of the repeated "Ultra!," it's "UUUUUULTRAAAAAAAAA!!" It's like they watched too much Star Trek 2! ;)

lol man just shows how little you know about killer instinct :p but that is okay.

the original said the long drawn out UUULLLLTTTRRRRAAAAAA CCCCOOOOMMMMBBBBOOOOO and the crappy SNES rip is where the ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA started.

so they ARE hitting the long drawn out one for nostalgia reasons :p

Waiting for hipsters to like the X1 bc they go against the grain. I kid though, it seems i have to defend my decision of what console im getting now.
