its not a start button like we are used to, it just takes you to the start screen as mentioned.
this version only really works on tablets imo, its designed for touch screens, and even then apps that aren't designed for it (most of them) just run on the normal old fashioned desktop anyway, but...
Digital spy did a vote to see who was more excited about the Xbox or ps4, Xbox got 10% of the vote, ps4 68% I think and the rest didnt care either way.
Wll be interesting to see what the take is after the ps4 reveal and the games for both in a week or so time.
if i remember right with launch of the ps3, i think it was very difficult to buy the console by itself, everywhere were only really doing bundles to bump up the price.
did the ps3 launch at £499 thinking about it?
*edit, just checked it was £425, and i also just found this article from the...
sony did post a profit this year, but that was mainly down to selling loads of stuff off i think.
i read last night that xbox games will be region locked again, which is disappointing as ps3 games weren't, and hopefully ps4 ones won't be. when i visit my friends in america i sometimes take a...
what really is there to discuss about the xbox or the ps4 without discussing the comparisons on the two systems, seeing as they are being launched at the same time, and people will most likely buy one or the other.
its not like we can talk about games yet as there hasn't been much news yet until E3
Xbox is running windows, of course it's going to be bloated, and will probably blue screen too ;)
probably have to run antivirus on it too and then there'll be patch Tuesday......
Like I said, one of thousands of sites saying the same thing, I just happened to choose a site called Sony rumours, just so you could jump on the bandwagon.
heres a generic gaming site giving the same, if not more detail on why it's so much more powerful...
its more than similar, and if you haven't already, have a read of this before you say any more about the ps4 not being 50% more powerful.

thats just one of thousands of sites saying the same thing, you only...
really, who cares about second hand games?
i can't remember the last time i bought one, with the supermarkets selling games now you can pick new ones up dirt cheap anyway, sometimes cheaper than used (to me used games are already overpriced anyway)
and yes i know i should have multi quoted...
lol, you are such a FANBOI!!!!!! (proved by the fact you waited in line for 20 days so you could be at the front for the new halo game, ok maybe exaggerated by a couple of days)
glad you mentioned the hardware issue (as nobody else had), MS were shocking with that, absolutely shocking, they...
erm, you do know they are both using the same architecture this time right, and the sony is reportedly going to be up to 50% more powerful for graphics, explain your way out of that for the xbox going to have better games.
look deekay (cheapo version of dk), when I'm watching sky through my skybox which is through my xbox, both devices are on, suing twice the power than if i was just using my sky box.
think about it.
yeah, I'm not exactly sure why id want to play my sky through my xbox, my sky box has a perfectly good enough epg as it is.
let alone having to have box boxes using full power all the time, which is going to cost in electricity, and isn't kinect always going to be on or something, that might...
What events would be over £50?
World orgy finals?
anyway, if you want to order something, then yes, you'll need to have it connected, but if not connected for 6 months it won't affect your normal viewing, it's a bit like saying you need to have an Internet connection to play online with Xbox...
a few places, a microsoft spokesperson clarified that the console wouldnt beed a constant connection to the internet, when asked how often he said once every 24hrs.
here is an example though...
if you disconnect your sky box from the phone line, nothing will happen to the service you receive, ever, it doesn't need it to function, so slightly different.
What MS are talking about is your console connecting to the internet every 24 hrs, if it can't connect after 24hrs you can't...
Oh and has everyone forgotten the 2 weeks it was down in 2008, I knew I'd forgotten a big outage, they even have us a free arcade game download, there were constant problems for 2 weeks straight.
Xbox live fans are like apple fans, quick to forget any issues with their beloved brand!
we need...
You guys must have short memories then, live has been down loads of times in the past, maybe not so much recently, more planned downtime, but it's still been down, and when there's more and more reliance on the cloud, there's more impact when it is down. Like I said, some big names, where...
I normally like your work, but if you want honest feedback, my personal opinion is that this set are a little try hard. A little too much blur as said above, even the main focus on the cars isn't sharp this time, and that's on small images etc.
i know you're an excellent photographer, but...
the 'cloud' is brilliant, until it goes down....
how many times is xbox live down, and people complain, if the game or app relies on processing in the cloud then you will be stuffed, plus it will depend on peoples connection etc.
in the last year alone, we've have blackberry go down several...
I might get the collectors edition to get the safety deposit bag, to go with my GTA safety deposit box.
no idea whether I will get it on ps3 or Xbox though
interesting article on the whole xbox1 vs. ps4, it is predicted that the ps4 will be 50% more powerful for gaming, due to the route MS took to make the xbox more of an entertainment device, MS might be trailing a bit this time around...
Got an email from sky today offering me free broadband and sky tv for a year I think, I need to go with a sky phone line and I think I'm tied in to bt at the moment.
Yes they do, all games need to be installed onto the hard drive and then the game is tied to your xboxlive id, if you install a pre owned game you will be asked to pay a fee before you can assign it to your xboxlive id and play it.
