Can't wait for the confused consumers who don't understand why the smaller one costs more. Obviously the bigger one is better.

If you put it in the quick start mode it will stay on when you turn it off and download things. This mode does have some drawbacks where some things might go haywire after a while and you have to do a full shutdown and then turn it back on. I've also had it happen a couple times where it didn't want to download any games and would constantly pop up saying "installation stopped." I ended up having to delete all my saves and redownload them from the cloud. That was a bit weird and I don't know why that was the solution.

The Xbonx is supposedly going to render normal games at 1080p. The image doesn't change between 720p and 1080p on the Xbone because it's not rendering at 1080p. It is probably rendering at 720p and then upscales to 1080, it isn't gaining any new information. From what their presentation sounded like, The Xbonx can increase the resolution of normal xbone games.

Why is Dolby Vision the winner when HDR10 is already on all the devices? Isn't that why Bluray won? It was on the PS3 and thus was in everyone's home already?

If you want to play Forza, get it on PC in a couple months. You have a high end gaming PC, and PS4, and it sounds like maybe you have a Switch, you don't need an xbox. Xbox has nothing to offer you. Just get a PS4 Pro.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:xboxox would not exist if they didn't care about specs. That's all it's good for. But yeah it isn't good enough. Xbonx exists because everyone is all up ons the 4K. Consumers want 4K, so Microsoft told the xbox division to make an xbox that can technically play a 4K game.

Is anyone (besides Chris Christie) being lured over from PS4? People buying the Xbonx probably already have a bone and just want the new one. They will buy games on xbone, play them, then continue playing them on xbonx when it comes out and they download their cloud saves.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Maybe a year ago but there's virtually no PC game that I can't do 4k/at least close to ultra/60+fps with a 1080ti/i7700k. If you have a gaming PC, and you don't care about playing games in your living room, cancel your preorder. As much as I love the concept Microsoft is going for with xbox, I can't in good conscience buy an xbonx. Every game on the xbonx will either be available in the windows store on PC and be crossplay, or it's a multi-platform and will be on steam or origin or whatever. There's no reason to buy an xbonx unless you have nothing to play games on already and you don't want a playstation.

univbee posted:There's been a lot of pushback to the idea of having to pay yet again for VC games on Switch, even though Nintendo never suggested they were going to do it (but have a limited infrastructure on their backend to validate prior ownership in several cases). The waters are also murky since hero-of-consumer-rights Microsoft is letting people pay previous-gen titles for free if they own them in any form. There's a really weird subset of people who think it is ok to charge again for a license someone already owns. You bring up the fact that digitally owning a 360 game automatically gives you access to it on xbone if it is BC, and for some reason they are worried about Nintendo's profits and say it isn't fair for Nintendo to give people access to games they already bought.

I would think they kind of have to do that for the X. They could include a second disc with the retail release, which would increase the cost and confuse people with a bone. Or they could just have bonx owners download more things. And if you are buying an xbonx, are you seriously going to only play it offline? I'm sure it works just fine once you download the data, so who the hell has a 4K TV, a 4K console and no wifi?

univbee posted:Number of American homes which can't even get 3mbps internet: 4.9 million That's nice and all, but downloading 60GB isn't a big deal for me, and not a big deal for any of my friends. If it's possible for that to not be a big deal for me, then it is possible for anyone. People in these bad situations where they don't have much bandwidth, or have download caps need to complain to their ISPs. Why is it they have trouble giving their customers more speed and data? In most cases it's total bullshit so they don't have to spend money to improve their infrastructure. The US government has even given money to ISPs over the years to improve their service and they don't do anything. This isn't an Xbox problem, it's an ISP problem. ISPs need to realize that the future of the internet is people downloading lots of data. Games are getting bigger, and so are streaming movies and TV shows. Pretending they can't offer more than 15mbs won't cut it. Unfortunately people are going to get mad at Microsoft instead of their internet provider.

univbee posted:No that's exactly what you're saying. It's very much not possible to download that much data for a large amount of people. I know some, it's not a fun time. They're trying to change it, but nothing's changed so far. I suppose you could argue that with that small snippet of my entire post taken out of context. Read the rest of my post and you should understand what my point was. If you don't, I'll reiterate it: Downloading a lot of data these days isn't a big deal. And if it is a big deal, there is a problem with that ISP. There's no reason to be bandwidth or data limited. Any ISP who says that is lying to you. Aside from very rural areas where ISPs refuse to run lines despite being paid to do so by the government, there's no reason for anyone in an area with a water and sewer system to have subpar internet. Downloading a new major game that's 60GB isn't new, and it isn't a lot. That's the norm and it will only be getting bigger. If people aren't able to download that much, they need to complain to their ISP and ask them why they haven't caught up to the rest of the civilized world. I wasn't bragging about my big American internet, I was stating that it is not normal to worry about hitting a data cap on home internet. I don't even have good internet, it's only 25Mb/s at best. I used to get almost 100Mb/s when I lived in San Antonio.

univbee posted:I agree with everything you've written here except the suggestion that complaining to your ISP is likely to change a goddamn thing other than the blood pressure of the punching bag the ISP hired for you to take out your aggression on. They get away with it because a vast majority of their customer base is old people who use all their services. My dad rents a bunch of cable boxes, of which only half see any use. He uses the ondemand features and records onto the two DVRs he rents. He doesn't have any kind of streaming media accounts. He stays within their ecosystem, and he's the ideal customer. I don't watch cable TV, I get all my media from streaming media or downloading. All of my data comes from outside their network, so they probably hate me. As more and more people start dropping cable and treating their ISP as a service provider, instead of a media provider, they will start demanding better service. It will take a while, but cable companies have survived by pissing off a minority of their customers while most just pay the bill each month and watch the history channel or whatever Real Housewives of City Name show. Eventually those people will be outnumbered by people who just want internet and the cable companies will have to change.

Lol Jesus Christ. "What about the people who don't have good internet and can't download lots of things?" "They should complain to their ISP, low bandwidth isn't acceptable." "Actually, most people have really fast internet, so no one has problems with low bandwidth. I don't know why you are bringing up bad internet speeds."

That was a thing that happened in the 90s and specifically was because of the way the rules were written, building cell towers counted as building broadband service under the very low standards for broadband of the time. I never said they were still receiving money. And just a couple years ago Time Warner was announcing test areas that would have 200 and 300GB data caps.
