INTEREST: Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III to Also Ship on Xbox One

the company confirmed that Kingdom Hearts III will feature new Disney worlds.

Doesn't really matter.

With that price tag and those disgusting restrictions on game ownership no one in their right mind outside of the most blinkered fanboys are going to be buying an Xbone. I just HAVE to believe people have a bit more sense than that.

On PS4 you'll be able to BUY this games, on Xbone you'll be able to LICENSE them. Dunno about the rest of you, but if I pay $60-$70 for a game disc then I sure as shit better be able to do whatever the hell I like with it.

You're buying the games regardless. Stop spouting bullshit like that. All media that you purchase you are "licensing" for your viewing/usage.

Reasons I'm buying an Xbox One:
1. More exclusives. I can't remember one thing that Sony showcased that caught my interest and was an exclusive. Xbox, on the other hand, showed quite a few.
2. The family plan which allows me to access our shared game library across the cloud with my family. My brother buys more than twice the games I do, and with me living half way across the world from him, sharing discs isn't feasible.
3. XBL has been generally cheaper than PS Plus and provides a better gaming service. I've rarely seen PS Plus get discounted, but XBL is discounted to $35 constantly. Sony has yet to say anything outside of it adding cross-game chat (something it should've had all along), so I'm still wary about the service.
4. I don't buy a lot of used games. I learned long ago that Gamestop is simply a gyp. I can get a brand new game on Amazon cheaper than a used one from Gamestop fairly easily -- and if not, it would only be a few dollars more. If I buy at Gamestop, they eat up all the money; Amazon, money goes back to the developers.
5. $100 is not a major break when buying an electronic device -- especially one that should last me for many years to come. Xbox One also comes with the Kinect, where the PS4 doesn't come with the PS Camera.

The only thing people really has reason to flip out over is the connect needed every 24hrs -- something I feel as though Microsoft could easily change from now until this holiday. However, it still doesn't bother me though. There's rarely a time my Xbox isn't hooked up to the internet. If I want to lug a gaming device to a place where internet is sparse, I have my much more convenient laptop.

To start off with, what kind of planet do you live on, because I definitely don't want to live there

I don't know where you get the idea that XBox Live is cheaper than PSPlus as PSPlus is cheaper than XBox Live PLUS you get free games each month. As for PSPlus hardly getting discounted, there's always been discounts in the UK every few months, plus lately two magazines over here have given free codes for a month's worth of PSPlus membership and also one of the various special editions of Hitman Absolution gave away a voucher with a code for a month's membership as well. As a result, I've managed to get 3 month's membership for free on top of my year's membership which I paid £29.99 for last year from Gamestation as part of a special offer.

Also, there's no way I'd buy such a locked-down piece of shit like the XShite One any time soon (and I'm not even a console-specific fanboy) which is why I'm buying a PS4 AND a Wii U in the future as they're not locked down, plus with the PS4 is region free as far as games are concerned unlike the XShite One (which to someone like myself is a huge fan of import games is very important to me).

I myself don't own a XBox 360 and I'll only buy one preowned when the price goes down to below £100 and I can mod it to play import games like Otomedius Excellent that for some dumbass reason never came out in Europe.

In other words, nice try, fanboy although I'll give you a 'B' for trying to claim that the XShite One is the best next-gen console out there.
