Wasn’t that expensive for me, bought pre-owned for £30, STILL managed to get the 5 free films as part of the promo.

Shame it still went down like it did though.

And lets be honest it was a right move by Sony as Xbone now uses the blu-ray format and no longer uses what they think was best for the gamer and thanks to PS3 using blu-ray there was no need for people spending extra money out on an external HD device to play media and taking up even more unnecessary space.

If you wanted to go in on HD-DVD and you did, don’t blame MS its your fault. You has a choice and you picked the wrong horse.

I refuse to get into that Blu-ray versus HD-DVD nonsense until either showed me it made a difference in games. Sony forced Blu-ray on everyone and tried their best to convince people it made a difference. It was a complete lie and many bought into it which ultimately made the decision for several of the movie studios ending the war.

Overall, I think MS was smart not to force HD-DVD on the consumer since unlike Sony they were not in a format war. I agree with Allard that they should have stayed out of it all together but when you have such a big company, their are powerful voices all around.

Competition in the console market is good for console owners but bad for games. Bae for devs and bad for gamers.

You have Nintendo and Sony who cannibalize at a very minimum, then you have Microsofts Xbox who tries to be all over the place, with shooters, kinect and indie games.

Steambox or Pc, it does really matter much any more. They’re starting to creep more into the livingroom in recent years.

So no, I don’t see a reason for Xbox to exist any longer. And MS has said it themselves: the only reason the started xbox was to keep Sony from becoming the center of every livingroom.
