Haha, you can thank the people "Bitching" about this one as well. Two months later and they 180 again. Man the Xbone should run in 2016!

Also not really a 180 as they have said they are starting from scratch.

I like how so many people bitched and complained and demanded changes, and when the changes came, they complained about pulling a "180" and they still aren't buying an Xbone...

 

Good times

I am going all in with the Xbone now that I am a satisfied customer. Before they learned the customers didn't want what they were selling, I sincerely doubted I'd ever own one; now its as soon as I can afford one, which will likely be around the release of the next Halo. I never wanted a PS4, but I was going to get one anyway before the 180's Microsoft pulled.

yup.  it's a no win, and you should just ignore those people because they'll never be happy.  They don't want change, they just want a reason to complain and taunt.

I thought it was amusing that once again all the "forum whiners" that the xbox one fan boys bitched and moaned about, successfully forced Microsoft to give them more. Effectively helping those who berate, belittle and bash them on a daily basis. 

No one was taunting anyone Shadow. Nor Yem, was I "complaining" that Microsoft did a 180. I was laughing at it, because we all knew that they would if enough of us held them to task. Instead of thanking the people who forced Microsoft to put more into the box then they had intended, we're attacked as killjoys who only want to complain. That's nice, enjoy the free headset on us guys! 

As for buying one, that's still not for me. Not until they reverse the Kinect decision and that I'm sure will not be forthcoming so Sony has my business for this go round'.

Yeah, I'm in the "as soon as I can afford" column... maybe by Christmas, I hope.

I wasn't refering to you dude. It's all over the internet. So many people complained they wanted changes and then complained when the changes were made. They are/were complaining about something they never intended to buy, regardless of which features there were. That's who I'm talking about

I still want to see the thing not work without the Kinect. Major Nelson pulled it out and it was on a disconnected cord. So, another "we shall see".

This.  If you're protesting at something not directed to you by name, maybe you are one of them - but otherwise it's just a general statement.

I'm not sure what you mean.  Pulled it out of the box on a disconnected cord?  It's a plug in peripheral.  It not permanently attached to the system.

Yeah, but early speculation hinted that it was integrated, as in not able to remove physically. So that's been proven wrong now, but, I still want to see the Box not work while unplugged from the Kinect.

It's just a " I'll believe it when I see it" same as these other things trickling out finally. Odds are it'll error and demand you plug it back in, but, we'll see.

bolded the wtf

sorry, but this is ridiculous and I never read a thing that said that - because it's so insane.  How would that even work?  that makes zero sense whatsoever.

You cannot use the console with Kinect disconnected.  However, it plugs in because why would that ever be a better idea to have to try and thread the whole Kinect instead of just the end of a cord from it?  It'd be a nightmare with some entertainment centers to have it permanently plugged/attached to the console instead of being able to do that yourself.

 

I'm thinking pre-order numbers had a large role in the consumer friendly changes.  Obviously they saw what was being said, but if pre-order numbers had been very strong they might have stuck with their original thoughts.

 

I didn't really think the headset was ever an adamant "not going to have it in there" thing, but it is nice there is one.  This headset sure beats the hell out of the earcord that PS4 comes with.  That thing looks like a bare minimum of functionality, comfort not included.

Just ignore him, Oldschool.  I think he's throwing a tantrum because the thread wasn't locked when he thought it should be, so he's just dicking the thread.

Like all chlidren throwing a tantrum, it's best just to pretend you don't notice.

*edit*

Oh, and again Shadow, you don't get to say what I did or didn't think, nor do you get to validate my opinions, and apparently you don't get to come off ignore.

It's not a possible thing.  There's no way any sane person ever thought that, and that includes you.
