And Xbox One is region locked.
Not a big surprise but as it was just officially confirmed thought I should bring it up.

Apparently Microsoft has also blocked comments on their videos, according to another forum I frequent. They don't want to hear fan feedback apparently... also posted on the other forum, apparently they're blaming the media for consumer rage according to this article.

Wow Microsoft, it wasn't the media that lead to our opinions on your fancy Betamax player it was YOU. How you guys presented the console, and all the other crap that the consumer would have to go through just to play the newest games is what bringing the gaming community against you. I wonder what new "feature" is going to be revealed next... Also it's time for Microsoft to get out of the gaming industry and go back to working on Windows only after this generation of gaming is done.

Looks like Microsoft is digging their own grave! Good job. I applaud them.

I love to see Xbox fanboys go all batshit over this. PS3 HAS NO GAMES? Well guess what, XBOX ONE HAS NO GAMES. (Unless you count Kinect, I guess. Hahaha.)

*grabs popcorn for E3*


I think most Xbox fans are no longer Xbox fans... I have read many people saying they are going to Sony or Nintendo. As for E3... Microsoft hasn't had a good E3 in years, I don't expect much this year either. Lately they have been making it a show with actors and flash to cover up that they don't really have that much content to show off.

That was expected. That was one of the features that I thought was great about PS3. The games weren't region locked. I actually imported a game from Hong Kong(it had English so I could understand it) which wasn't possible on previous systems.

What are they going to do? It's too late to make drastic changes because most of the stuff is set in motion. They can't delay the console because Sony and Nintendo will trump them. They can do some small changes but what it seems like they are doing is ignoring the problems and just blaming everyone else.... Which solves nothing.

True. Plus they'll have to top this. I'm sure it will be a good show. xD

Little bit of a funny thing going on.
The Website domains XboxOne.com and XboxOne.net are already brought by a person living in London, and he got them way back in 2001, So Microsoft are now filing for a legal battle against this one individual to get a website address for there new console.

That is rather stupid to be trying to sue someone into getting those domain names when the person registered them years ago... Also like Vash said what's wrong with not taking .org if it's not taken already? :V

Wait, they're actually suing? I don't get it. The person simply got it before they did, couldn't the person technically keep it if he or she really wanted to no matter what?

Yeah, that's probably why they're suing. But considering legal costs wouldn't it be easier to just buy the domain from him? If he's not using it for anything I'm sure he wouldn't mind so long as they gave him something for it.

You'd think they'd look into this while naming the thing, huh?

".org" is usually used by non-profit groups. ".com/.net" is usually the for-profit's domain of choice.
Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

Oh, that surely clears it up. With the way the Xbox One sales are looking, I don't think Microsoft will want to lose any profits.

So, I was poking around on another forum and I came across a link to this:

I know it's meant to be taken jokingly, but the parallels are a little bit horrifying, haha.

Luckily, it MIGHT not come to fruition. With the way sales are looking for microsoft, I don't think they'll be successful enough for that to matter. By the way, what does Bill Gates have to say on the matter?
