The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

- Start date
I got a longer cable that came with a grip, and I also have the stand charger (for when I had more than 1 controller). First world problem is the grip makes it so I cant use the stand charger, I have to take it off every time.

I don't understand the allure of this. I have 0 desire to play last gen games on a new system.

Isn't that like the worst possible genre to be played via cloud streaming? I would think the latency would make them practically unplayable.
I didn't watch the conference for that, so it's all streaming then? meh
Thought they were just going to allow your Xbox gold library to be downloaded on current gen hardware.

I'm confused, they are making you stream the backwards compatibility stuff?
If so Sony wins again by already having that

Sony's isn't free, even if you own the games on PS3. It was absurdly expensive in fact back when it launched, no idea if the pricing is more sane now.
As for the MS stuff, back when MS was first talking about their cloud streaming service, it was rumored that there'd be a Windows 10 version of it as well. I never owned a 360 and will never buy an xbone, but I'd definitely sub to it for a couple months or pay a nominal fee to try out the two 360 games I wished were multiplatform (Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia).

It sounded like to me that it was something like that. The games aren't natively compatible with xbone, so there is some work that goes into making an xbone version which is why there is a limited list of games to start out with.
I could be wrong though

Yeah, the Sony streaming shit is pretty much DoA. They (along with the publishers I'm sure) really fucked the pricing.

Nah, you're right. I saw the info second hand and what I read was mostly about the dig at Sony about not having to pay to play the games you already own, so I thought it was just the streaming service MS has been talking about for years. This is apparently real BC, but that also means the list of games is extremely limited to start and there's no guarantee that studios will bother to polish up old games to be compatible.
Full list is onXbox One Backward Compatibility | Xbox
