That's exactly why I like it. Found a tin of artists I never heard of before because of it.

Spotify does the same thing but with the ability to listen to specific albums, send music to friends, build custom playlists, download the music on your phones(especially great for flying), find other people's playlists and make them your own as well as seeing what your friends are listening to in real time. I discover more music from my friends sending me songs, seeing what they are listening to than anything.

You really should give the 24 free trial a chance, it's the first music app worth paying 9.99 for.


EDIT: try the program on PC to really get a feel for how it works, you can do all the same shit on the phone apps it's just easier to manage.

Why couldn't MS just temp ban it until launch? Would that have been so hard? It's not like that dude asked for it to come early. The lawyer shit is laugh-worthy, but come on MS. Shittiest fucking PR I've ever seen in my life.

Pretty sure that's all they did.

Wow, I must be bored. Decided to install the (old) Fable: The Lost Chapters game onto my PC. It's been a long time.

If more people were interested in the xbone there would be more posts about it. Nothing's stopping you from posting shit yourself.

There's Nintendo stuff in here too!

No one posts shit about the Xbone, because there's dick all to post about it except negative stuff and no one really cares beyond that anyways. Xbronies are a small bunch here and for good reason, because most people here are smart enough to not be one.

The thread is titled "Next Gen Consoles" -- I think that implies consoles that run 1080p natively.

I think it's pretty ridiculous that a multi-billion dollar company claims they can't get their message to consumers. Every gaming magazine and news outlet covers their press conferences. The problem is that they either don't have a clear message ("We can't talk about it just yet...") or their message simply isn't well received. Consider, for example, the no used games policy they had at one point. They kept alluding to great benefits that they weren't willing to talk about. They clearly didn't have anything prepared, or they could have argued on the merits. Instead, their PR people started insulting customers.

As for this picture that was posted on the last page:

This is a fake, right? No way Microsoft would miss the apostrophe in "It's" on an official release and show pictures that clearly look differently.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft are evil and are dumb. I mean is that up for debate after Win 8, Surface, and now the Xbone's troubles?

Maybe once ballmer's gone they can stop being one or both. I'm not counting on it though.

Friend just showed me an article posted 3 days ago on a news site he reads declaring Sony will charge to play games online. Blows my mind how uniformed people are.

Ballmer and Mattrick were both pretty awful. The Xbox division had way too many people who were banking on "Taking over the living room" and multimedia shit and not enough people behind it as a games console.

Video games sell video game consoles. This will *never* cease to be true. Everything else is completely secondary and should be treated as such, but clearly Microsoft did the opposite here.

And Ballmer is just clearly incompetent. There's no way that he should have let the Xbox division take such a massive fall from grace. Their entire PR team should be replaced after the endless stream of PR blunders too. Not to mention his blatant inability to make the Tablets and Phones take competitive market share from Android and Apple. Hopefully his replacement can turn some shit around.

Posting anything positive about any features for the XBox One in this thread is pointless.

I'll attempt so:

Xbox One can use 8 controllers synced to the same console at once.

Here's where I post the link and then PS4ggots just post about all the hardware shit on this page most people don't care about over and over and over and over again.

Uh, what? Sony is requiring a ps+ subscription for online play, with the exception of some F2P games.

8 controllers is pretty cool for those who actually use that feature and if games actually take advantage of it.

The PS4 only can use 4 currently, the PS3 uses 7 (weird odd number) and that's actually a downgrade.

See, this was posted probably 100 pages ago. While technically better, how many games on the current gen supported more than 4 players? The ps3 supported 7 controllers and it was pretty much never used.
