KI is fun, but the kinect has way too much latency to be what its supposed to be, maybe they’ll make a better one in a year or two
wow she sounded like they had her head under a guillotine holy shit
could of been fake though, but looking at the stunt The Guardian is doing over here its probably true 
its not new. ms probably offers store incentives on which store in the district sells the most preorders as part of their advertising deal for instore ads. top off your regular ad revenue with some extra cash, tell gamestop that you’ll throw some shwag for good sales, managers all down the chain amplify that message to be more competitive, and by the time it gets down to the game advisor level, its “MS is forcing us to push xbone on people”.
gamestop is a pretty shady company all around, but this is not anything new.
That vid is fake.
You dont answer the phone like that at Gamestop, and no one would talk that loudly over the phone, where customers would hear you console bash, nor would anyone admit that kind of stuff to someone they dont know.
I worked there for 2 years, and yes there are pro/against console talks, but these have always happened in-store, with a certain type of customer; ones that get friendly/known name basis. You are NOT going to have that convo over the phone, period, and you’re not going to bash or stop a pre-order period.
Also marking GS to a contact to hide the number; good excuse but pretty convenient.
If he had just dialed the number I would have believed that video.
This thread should be renamed: Deviljin 01 white knights for MS: The thread.
I went to the Microsoft store today to play KI for another 2 and a half hours. Stayed there till like 15 minutes after the place closed. Staff guy I was playing against didn’t even realize the place was already closed and then had to kick me out. Of course typical beating on scrubs and new guys and such.
One of the workers said I should apply to work there and I’m just like “well…I just like Killer Instinct and the system is pretty innovative I think”. There was this random asian guy that started bothering the staff guy while I was beating him up. He was like “ooooh esscuusa meeee, how much is da xbawk system?” Staff guy was like “oh it’s 499” and the asian guy was like “oh ok hmmm thank you”.
I was beating up one of the kids that showed up to play and he was like “hmmm so you’re an Xbox fanboy huh??” and I’m like “well…yeah I LOOOVEE XBOX of course” to troll and shit. He said he was a big call of duty guy and well…yeah.
I was also talking with a nostalgia warrior who was pissed that Cinder and Fulgore weren’t in yet and said the new KI would never be as good as the old one. I told him they’ll be coming soon and showed him a lot of how the new game worked and seemed to be more inviting to it towards the end.
^ that must be the most touching and heartwarming story i have ever heard 
lol
What you did there, I see it.
I’m hearing Best Buy has some crazy bundle for both consoles at around $800(PS4) or $900(Xbone) you get the console, a controller, your choice of two games, two year sub to PS+/Live, two year protection plan, 10% off game trade-ins for a year+ 5% bonus rewards points on said trade-ins, 20% off new games for a year, and a trade-in two, get one free coupon.
While I don’t care for either console at this point, that sounds like a really good deal for early adopters to go HAM with. Someone should crunch numbers on that and see if it really is a legit deal to be sure, though…
Madcatz better get their shit together, i want KI w/ sticks on day 1…Decided to cancel my PS4 going w/ a new pc instead.
400 system
120 2 games
60 1 controller
100 PS+
$680
So you’re paying $120 for 2 year warranty & 20% full retail games…Huge rip off man…
400 system
120 B2get1Free Target
$60 controller
60 PS+ 2yearGamestop
$640 + you get 1 extra game. $160 to do what you want.
I thought so. The way they were pushing it made me think twice. I’m glad I decided to sit this launch stuff out the more info comes out on both sides.
Almost a grand out the door with that “deal.” What’s going to be the deal breaker for me, is if online play improves from last gen. I don’t want to play teleport fighter or lag compensation of dookie anymore. I’ll wait this out as well.
I don’t care about any deals just getting what I’m trying to get.
My payout is looking like…
500 dollars for Xbox One
200 dollars for TE2
40 dollars for Ultra version of KI
60 dollars for year of Xbox Live + Shadow Jago secret character
-20 dollars for 20 dollar MS points promo from above XBL card (using this to get Crimson Dragon for free)
There’s other stuff, but I doubt I’ll be buying any of it at launch. Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 seem really cool, but not cool enough to spend 60 bucks on either at launch. Mostly a fighting game/arcade game player.
So basically around 780 for launch. Could have been worse.
The only thing innovative about the Xbone is how MS found a new way to piss off potential customers, am I missing something? no talking on Skype while in game isn’t innovative.
I was liquidating my 360 stock and noticed a couple of unused Xbox Live trials. I have no idea if these still work because they are old but if anyone is interested.
2 day trial: 2KJWP-MRFH6-687H8-H38FH-2VW7V
14 day trial: 4H74G-PHM84-FFR4G-GHWJ7-9TV86
nobody use those lol, i fucking need those codes like a mother fucker.
GOnna go home and use em now, thanks a billion.,
If anybody else has any trials, lemme know, my XBL expired, and I am getting XBONE so dont wanna go get another XBL membership for a console I will not be using much longer
Your old XBL membership will transfer to the xbone so dont have to worry about having to wait. You can use your XBL account both systems without having to buy two separate ones. So pretty much keep your xbox you wanker…
