i only needed one when i brought my X1,reduce price for 300 dollars no way i was going to pass that up.
thanks gamestop for being so cheap on cash trades i only needed to add 50 dollars to beat you out.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

Wow..they had to reduce that f****r to $300 to make the sale?

[DEEBO]

no gamestop didn't reduce the price,it was a cash trade and gamestop will only give you 250 dollars cash 300 store credit.
the guy sold it to me for 300.

[Pogmathoin]

Proof?

[DEEBO]

@DEEBO

You should definitely get the console that's best for you. Xbox One is a very capable console. MS may be as shady as slim, but the console itself is impressive.

I've decided to just see this year out with my PS3, and see what E3 2014 throws into the mix. Ultimately, I'll decide after the trade shows/events as to whether its Xbox One or PS4 for me.

Its 62/38 in favour of PS4 at present, but this could change as time goes by.

Exciting times ;)

Well thought out and logical. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a wait and see approach to next gen. Wish we saw more posts like this at N4G.

[gamer2013]

Micro shady?

http://ps4daily.com/2013/06...

Yeah, this was brushed right under the carpet btw. So I guess Sony is shady too.

[snookiegamer]

What is wrong with you? ...are you so far up MS bum that you feel to defend every little comment??

Yeah, IMO MS are shady, but the Xbox is still a great console.

Sorry I offended you 'Phil Spencer'

...My baaad!

[MikeGdaGod]

good luck with that

[snake_eater]

"I’m a Microsoft person." and i stopped right there

[Ravijn]

Television ON!.....Pornography!

[MasterCornholio]

Hey Xbox fans

Maria submitted this article.

Strange right?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I believe hell just froze over. LOL Seriously though, yes Maria has a bit of an axe to grind but has been known now and then to submit something positive towards MS.

[Wikkid666]

Probably just not bright enough to realize that it's positive.

[MasterCornholio]

Its not the first time that I've seen Maria submit an article that sheds the Xbox One in a positive light.

:I

[True_Samurai]

It's bait for Sony fans to raise hell

[SixtyNine]

If she had given you 4 reasons why the PS4 is #4theplayers you'd all be singing a different tune :D. She states in the article that the Xbox is best for her and why. She isn't forcing it down anyone's throat.. But...

[Grave]

#1 should be: Because you can actually find Xbox One in stock at any store you go to.

[Plasticgearsolid]

So true im waiting for my local walmart to get a small shipment of 4 units that I hopefully can grab one.

[McScroggz]

The Xbox One has some potential, the problem is it would likely cost a lot of money to get it to a point where shines and truly differentiates itself from the PS4 in terms of what it offers. Of course, Microsoft is one of the few companies in the world that can throw around money and see if it sticks - the only question is do they have the desire to do so and will investors see the long term potential gains.

[Plasticgearsolid]

How is the price not changing a reason to get one now hahahaha

[mafiahajeri]

I'm thinking of getting one but the problem is that I don't see any exclusives on the horizon, or let me rephrase that I don't see any first party studios that are promising anything - fable and halo which are interesting but I want to see more support, especially down the line. I wan't the best of both worlds this gen and being a fanboy is getting old, I hope they show me a reason to buy their console come e3.

Also a kinectLESS bundle won't harm my chances of getting one.

[MasterCornholio]

I doubt that they will get rid of Kinect since Xbox owners love the device. I can't tell you the amount of times I've heard Xbox fans praise it because they can turn on the console with their voice.

[Mister_Dawg]

I love how Maria puts up a 'pro' xb1 post. However in reality its a dumbass xb1 article, which makes others think the xb1 is complete pants.

[quenomamen]

" I'm a Microsoft Person "
That's all I needed to read, same if she said I'm a Sony, Apple, Dell, Ford or whatever person. When you proclaim you are a whatever person then you don't need to post any other reasons for it.
There is no changing your mind, so why do you need to list any more reasons ? Dumb

[sevilha82]

I´m with you bro.

Fanboyism is Fanboyism,they just see black and white and dont analize the grays.

If i can, i will have them both,despising a toy for another and judging others for their free of choice is one of the many idiotic prejudice mentalities tipical of the human being,only compared to racism,xenofobism,homofobism and many others.

why the freaking hate for a toy,a gimmick of tecnologie???

Peace.

[ricochetmg]

WEAK.

[sevilha82]

I´m i the only one that think´s that buying a console to watch CBS with voice comands is a waste of money??!

Dont get me wrong i want a Xbox one in the future,but spending 500 bucks to watch tv with a gimmick,is conter nature(as a gamer point of view)i want to play not watch soap operas.and another thing those services may be pretty cool in the US but in Europe they dont exist(besides Great Britan)so another point for me to whait a couple of years until i start thinking of putting a Xbox one side by side to my ps4/pS3 and Xbox 360...

Just saying...

[SynestheticRoar]

Read the article those reasons suck. Three were preferences.

[NeoTribe]

Another why i like x console article, yay... funny the xbox like articles keep getting smaller. They use to be 10 reasons. Now its not even 5 lol. Ofcourse one of the likes is being able to say "xbox cnn"... i can press a button faster and with no chance of it not working.. Only the foolish and ignorant are dazzled by gimmicky tech.

[Lamigol10]

Most people absolutely rip the p**s out of articles like this .... funny that because it's a positive xb1 article idiots defend it !! ha .... this is laughable.
I own a ps4 and xb1 so I'm really not biased ... I do however find this article hilarious.
"I have a samsung gs4 because the case is shiny ... wow" !!! ha ha

[TheController]

I have both and honestly, the PS4 is the better machine. The voice command feature on the Xbox is nice, but it doesn't recognize your voice unless you halfway yell at the TV and I've tried to tweak it via settings many times. If they had added a mic onto the controller itself like the PS4, this might not be such a problem.

Microsoft did themselves and us a disservice by adding all of these things that only half work or are only there to justify their failed business ventures in things like Bing, Internet explorer, Windows 8, and Kinect.

For gamers, I highly recommend the PS4, as it does everything the Xbox does, only better. For everyone else, pick whichever seems to float your boat.
