Yeah that headline is clickbait all the way around.

Well, I kind of wanted one of those console-style form-factor cases. I think they look cool.
SteamOS + Mantle = great things.
By the time the Steam Machines are ready to ship I hope AMD has a good, working version of Mantle. Getting equivalent performance to home consoles will really help the PC gaming landscape.
Yep. If I get a new PC I will probably get a Steam Machine and hook it up to the TV.
The Sony Too(TM) syndrome is also pretty bad, even though a year before the PS4 was announced Jack Tretton said they WERE NOT going to do the DRM thing.
But nope, everyone will still keep force-feeding the lie that "But... but... but... Sony was gonna do it, too!"
This is all on Microsoft. MICROSOFT. I can't believe they've fallen this far and still don't understand where they effed up. I'm embarrassed for them.
Make sure your pants aren't too tight.
Bubs+ that was hilarious.
"This computer can play every game at it's finest? 369 dollars and it can run the likes of The Witcher, Crysis 3, or Tomb Raider(with tressFX) at it's highest settings?"
I linked to a customizable build at a base price. Add the GPU/RAM as necessary and that's your total. One or the other will still come up cheaper than $500.

@DeadMansHand
Yeah, Sony is already making deals with UK ISPs, but nnothing for people living in America. You would think Microsoft would have cut some deals given their huge pitch for TV on your TV.
@theWB27
"Well...the X1 isn't marketed as a PC."
No, it's marketed as an "All in One" entertainment device, but it's more expensive and less functional than an "all in one" PC.
"You can hook the Kinect2 up to your PC? Nope... "
Why do I need Kinect 2? I can use normal Kinect and it functions faster and more responsive on PC than it does Xbox 360, plus it's cheaper than K...
@TrueJerseyDevil
LOL, WUT?!
I only really play PC games with an Xbox 360 controller. I used to really like the Xbox brand until Microsoft decided to screw us over.
Also, the Xbox One takes longer to load games than my PC. With Steam Big Picture mode I just point and click and BAM! I'm in the game. I don't have to cycle through metro tabs to find what I want to play.
Also, I have an HDMI splitter to the TV, so playing ...
It's been confirmed by Kotaku, CNET and VG 24/7.
THis is like the Durango DRM scandal from last year all over again.
It can't do anything my PC can already do FOR FREE!
YouTube? Free on PC.
Amazon/Hulu/Twitch? Free on PC.
Motion/voice controls? Buy a Kinect and hook it up to your PC.
Games? Cheaper on Steam.
1080p 60fps? In every game... on PC.
Please tell me what you get for $500 that other devices don't already do and do better?
Oh wait, you can't... you used your one bubble to pimp a...

In my area we don't use cable boxes but have digital cable converters instead. You have to buy a cable box separately (and pay a monthly fee to use it).
SO yeah, you would have to pay extra to watch TV on your TV with the dick-less Xbox One.
*slow clap*
Good for you.
Too bad many of us live in America, where we get price-raped and data-capped by greedy mofos like Comcast and Timewarner and we don't get ANY choice in other service providers in the area.
Finally. Iwata strikes back like a boss!
Dead Rising 3 has horrible framerate.
Just saying....
Mario Kart 8 is coming out in May.
I don't mind Nintendo's prices on their first-party titles, I've never felt ripped off from paying what I did for them, and they have all been well worth the price of entry.
I certainly can't say the same for the Activision, EA and Ubisoft games I've purchased.
