The new CoD griefing tactic: yelling, "XBOX OFF!!!" as loud as fucking possible and praying it shuts down everyone on comm en masse.

QUOTE The Xbox One simultaneously runs three separate operating systems. First comes the tiny Host OS, which boots the machine and then launches two other hard-partitioned systems: the Shared partition, an environment that runs any apps (Skype, Live TV, Netflix, etc.) and helps provide processing power for the Kinect sensor and its gesture and voice controls; and the Exclusive partition, which is where games run. Because of the way memory is apportioned in the Shared partition, you can switch between apps with little to no load times, and even snap them into another app or game to use both at the same time.
MS has enough trouble with one OS.

A) If you're doing shittily enough, what've you got to lose? Â It's a couple notches (of douchebaggery) above just logging out in frustration.
B) Maybe you can tape some cotton or something over the voice receiver for your machine.
EDIT: Griefing idea ripped off from...

Does it run ANY apps, or any apps that the XBox will allow? I am a little irked that Sony pulled the "Other OS" option off the PS3 soon after I got it, I had actual plans to load Linux on there and see what I could do with it. I don't like the baked-in music player on the PS3, and would love to have another mp3 player option... but I don't.
For example.

You WILL be kinecting, goddamnit.
QUOTE “Kinect does require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes,” he [Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle] said. Asked whether the Xbox One will accommodate people who perhaps play in their bedroom rather than their living room, Eagle replied: “Yes, absolutely. We use the living room almost as a moniker - that's where we assume the best screen is in the house. But if you like to play in any other room in the house, the Xbox One will deliver the same quality of experience whatever the environment.”
Awesome. Let's hear it for forced UIs.
Used games?
QUOTE The plot, she thickens. “Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc,” Wired stated.]The plot, she thickens. “Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc,” Wired stated.
Also can't decide if it'll be an "always on" device or not.

Microsoft makes great products.
It's too bad they don't make them for their target consumers.

An always-on requirement on a console is a huge dealbreaker for me.
But, as I always say, "Madden 2014 X-Box One only, yo."

EA's CTO is a fucking moron.
He actually said: "The X-Box One is a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market."
Does anyone, and I mean from the mail room to the CEO, have even the slightest clue what they're doing over at EA?
So is he completely full of shit or really that stupid?
Nobody with an IQ above 50 could honestly believe that ANY console can outpace a high end PC. It's simply not possible based on the fact that console technology is purposely behind the curve because of the price. If they used high end components consoles would cost over $1,000. Nobody would buy consoles that expensive, so they use older, weaker components to get the price down to the $300-$400 range.
Also from the article:
QUOTE During the launch of the PS3 and Xbox 360, we heard predictions from people such as analyst Michael Pachter and CNET Executive Editor David Carnoy suggesting the new generation would cause a decline in PC gaming.
How'd that prediction work out for you dipshit?
Consoles aren't better. They're gaming for dummies. They don't exist because they're awesome. They exist because of convenience, laziness, and ignorance.

Analysts are still predicting it will be murdered in Japan, where "X1" is a slang term for a failed, divorced loser male.
