I don't see that happening but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time...

The only way I see the price dropping is if they make a package that doesn't come with kinect.

Ok Gamestop got their act together and I was able to preorder my xbox one. I also preordered Dead Rising 3 and Forza Motorsport 5 along with an extra wireless controller. Just got my new 40" Samsung TV so I'm ready to go. Now I have this and my 1LE to wait for, just hope my 1LE comes in first.

Oh well, I almost play exclusively on Steam now, so probably going to stick with it.
I think its stupid that the caved in to all of the whiny Sony fan boys and cellar dwellers. I loved everything about the way the system was going to launch. It could have lead to a whole new gaming industry and reduction in prices for titles. If they did to consoles what steam did to PC gaming, this would have been amazing.

Agreed. I was pissed at first, because the way they spun it at E3 was horrible. Now I'm bummed that they caved.

So Sony Fanboys and "cellar dwellers" made Microsoft cave?

Are the cellar dwellers Microsoft fanboys or gamers in general? Please define that term for me.

Your statement makes no sense. Games, indexed by inflation, are very cheap compared to what they were in the 90s: http://www.1up.com/news/90s-game-pri...ison-charticle . In addition, the IPO for Gamestop was 2002: http://money.cnn.com/2002/02/13/ipo/gamestop/ . Games are cheaper today than they were before Gamestop. Publishers are getting smaller margins, but they should be selling more games. FYI, I would have no problem paying more than $60 for a game that deserves my money.

I guess I must be a cellar dweller for asking for a new system with better graphics. I guess people like you think Microsoft no longer wants my money. I purchased both of the previous xbox consoles on launch day. I plan to purchase the new xbox one on launch day as well. If Microsoft had kept its policies in place, I would have forgone an xbox one purchase completely.

Sony fanboys are basically the ones that bash Xbox no matter what. Same as Xbox fanboys. They are not objective and can't see any good out of their "rival" console. Cellar dwellers are the people that don't want change. Just keep everything the same, just better graphics.

So just because you prefer one console over the other, doesn't make you a fanboy, it's just a term that's used...kind of like telling someone they are a liberal. Lol
