Collectors crossroads
As a collector I've found myself at a crossroad. If you know me or have seen my intro thread then you know while I collect a bit of everything I primarily stick to Xbox 360. Well I'm so disappointed with Microsoft right now I'm almost embarrassed to say I've ever had anything to do with them, and I've a whole collection full of their stuff. I've loved my gaming on the Xbox and the 360. Had great times on both. Now there's this new box. I thought they were making us a Xbox 720. Instead we're getting an Xbox...one? What happened?
I've already pre ordered 3 PS4s for the house and will pick up a fouth one later when I start having to travel all the time again. Biggest reasons im not getting the xbone is airlines have very low weight limits on luggage and that useless sensor bar that must be plugged up to play looks to be too large and heavy to be carrying on planes with me. That and internet at most hotels is very difficult to get a console hooked up to. It has been my goal to have every CE for the 360. NTSC. I'm not going to quit collecting but I'm sure I'll move on to PS4 CE's and knowing my addictive personality I'll want all of it's CEs. I'd really like to complete my 360 collection but have no desire to support Microsoft anymore. Wondering if any other xbox collectors that are going to make the switch to the actual gaming consle being released this year are going to continue collecting xbox. I want to, but...just fuck. |

Re: Collectors crossroads
Well I've never been a big ass ce collector as such, though my sales thread might say different lol. Massive Xbox and 360 fan, im also switching sides to the dark side. They only have themselves to blame for this turkey.

Re: Collectors crossroads
I'm still going to collect all the 360 stuff I want, as in the end if I don't, I'm the one missing out. I'll just be sure to cross the street when I see that rabid piece of shit coming the other way.
Now, now, lets get it correct, you're not switching to the dark side, you're switching from it |

Re: Collectors crossroads
Ye same here
What Microsoft show with all these kind of restriction is not something Im a fan off.. I want to be able to lent my games to my friend if I want too, and as many times I want too.. And speciel when it seems like xbone game price will be same as ps4 is just a joke, when they are going for the same as CD-keys on computer, there I can accept it because they are not so expensive games compare to consoles.. But I dont think I will buy any of the console on release date, dont have money for that, so I will wait it out and see what is really best when it gets out to people and not just what both company tell about their product :p So Im going to the Dark side too I think :p |

Re: Collectors crossroads
Yeah, I'm with you - didn't think I'd ever do it, but MS hasn't given me any reason NOT to. Still so tempted just to pre-order one just IN CASE they change their minds, but then I'm only giving them a reason not to - so I'll also be getting the PS4 I think... While I was upset that neither system was backwards compatible, I'm really glad the PS4 isn't now, cuz then I'd be "forced" to go back and collect all the PS3 CEs too

Re: Collectors crossroads
During this current Gen, I originally wanted a PS3 and instead picked up an Xbox because it was more accessible to me and then got a PS3 at a later date. So i was never really a true MS Fan anyway. This time, I want the PS4 and if I can't have that, I'll get nothing it seems. Still disappointed on the lack of backwards compat on the 2 platforms. This whole DRM crap is exactly that though, crap. Who ever decided that was a good idea, wants stringing up and making an example of... Same thing for the "always live" bullshit with the box. Do ME not realise that there are still households out there that don have Internet access? I know a few people who don't, if I'm honest.
Utter rubbish if you ask me. Ill definitely be jumping back onto the Sony boat! Lol
