    He also told me a few months ago that MS is going to come out with two XBoxs. IDK if that was announced or will be.

    The design makes more sense. I had better come with a remote, though.

    NFL partnership with Xbox seals it for me.

    Oh ok. I work there as well so thought I might know him if he's in Houston.

    As in you'll buy it? I hate that they're partnering with EA...EA is awful.

    Madden has been horrid for YEARS and NBA Live has always been second to 2K ever since 2K launched.

    Oh really? He's from Houston, moved up there a few years ago. Went to UT, graduated in 2007.

    Yeah.

    I don't care much for EA's games aside from Fifa and Madden. Madden has sucked, but it's the only football game.

    As if I needed any validation. Can't. Wait.

    I'm putting back an additional $100 a paycheck into savings in preperation for this. Xbox One + a new 60 inch. My wife will be pissed, but I'll be in heaven.

    Call of Duty is so boring. Still looks dull. And also lol NBA live, from the clip it looked horrible compared to 2k.

    Okay that presentation was pretty lame for me as a gamer. Ultimate Team as an exclusive for XBox is pretty f#cked up, MS must've payed a shiiiiiiiitload to EA to compensate. Ultimate Team/FIFA is my most played game and I wanted to buy the PS4, prayin they bring this ish to PS4.

    Love it. Might not be getting it opening day, but certainly down the line. Love the idea of an all-in-one entertainment center, and Xbox never fails in the actual gaming department, so it looks like a pretty great piece of equipment.

    I'll have to wait and see some comparisons to the PS4, because surely it lags behind that in a few things, but I like what I see.

    I was disappointed by the entire reveal. Almost everything announced and shown was what many people expected for the past six months. The name was a bit unexpected, but other than that no real surprises. It's clear that Microsoft is trying to transform the Xbox brand to a entertainment living room brand, to compete with Apple and Google.

    The only thing I really liked was the controller's new D-Pad. Meh at just about everything else. The NFL integration seems cool at first thought...but my interest dissipates when I remember that EA still has the exclusive NFL license.

    PS4 for me. (And PC.)

    Just like when the NFL partnered with EA. I haven't bought a Madden game in 6 years.

    Not sure why anybody would complain about the controller too. The 360 controller was virtually flawless. No need to mess with it.
