"Many Xbox 360 game consoles failed from overheating. That led to a $1.1 billion write-off as Microsoft replaced failed machines for as many as one out of every two early customers."
I didn't know it was as many as one out of two early customers.
Hope this time there's no such problems.

Red Ring of Death - my oh my!
Red Ring of Death (RROD) would be a perfect replacement for BSOD. How refreshing for all of us it would be... and even comforting for the owners of a AMD hardware (''yeah, it failed me again, but this time it does not remind me of Intel'') ...

I'd rather have a second controller, than this useless piece of *beep* Kinect crap.

I don't see what is to get excited about with that AMD chip, they were made for low powered laptops weren't they? Just seems to me that the PC has already won, an I7 would surely eat that thing alive and well we already know our GPUs are much better.

Why do they need so much locked off for the OS? Like when I look at my usage my system is using hardly anything on idle, only when I go into games do I see all 4 cores spike out. So surely games are getting the lion share of all 4 cores and the system is barely using anything unless I run stuff in the background.
I'm curious though about the PS4s 8gb of GDDR5.
Wanna see how that works out, like was it another Sony lie and when the console comes out it turns into DDR3? lol. Is it like 3GB of GDDR5 and 5gb of DDR3?
Just wanna see if it really releases with it.

I never understand the comments about "PC has already won" I mean look at the specs of the PS3 and XB360, thats like geforce 7 era hardware and its pumping out the visuals of Dead Space 3, Bioshock, MGS4, DMC and BF3. I mean those games are better on PC's but could even imagine what they'd look like on Radeon X1950 or 7800GTX. That's a pretty impressive result, so if they have hardware that now 7 years newer I'm looking forward to some good things.

Older than you think and while he is normally quite decent i think he has fell into the trap he thinks "console gamers" are in and not read up on the hardware he is talking about.
The messed up part is the Xbox One is by far the most interesting console so far this time, after a disastrous start MS has slowly but surely climbed back up while Sony has stood still.
All it needs is one decent Xbox price cut and Sony is in trouble yet again.
I'm baffled they let MS back in tbh, as a company they are have gotten soft and weak compared to how they used to be.
As for this, Kinect 2 does sound good, but only if it's properly supported and actually works in low(ish) light and small rooms.
If it only works for people with huge rooms then people are just not going to bother.

If you actually think about it, it's not that bad?
You will likely know if you like the game or not via the free game, so you will only spend money on something if you like it, plus.
I'm not usually a fan of F2P stuff, but too often these days you end up paying for stuff you never need or want.
I hate MP, why should i pay for the upkeep of servers etc... others hate SP so why should they pay for the costs of the campaign.
