New Xbox

What context am I missing out on? That if Microsoft offers a payment plan, their console will cost more than the price it's selling at?

I really don't know what your problem is or why you're getting apparently so worked up over this. Maybe you should post more smilies and .gifs to get your point across.

-edit-

Now that you've clarified, the comment that"links" the statements is illogical.

Xbox costs $500.
PS4 costs $500.

If you do a payment plan you'll pay some sort of fee for the loan.

Xbox costs more than PS4.

But that's not the case. You said that you expect them to both be the same price. And if they're the same price, the fact that some can opt to do a payment plan doesn't make one more expensive than the other, only more expensive if you can't afford to buy it upfront. The same could be said about the PS4 if Sony offered a payment plan.

I was truly just sitting here drinking my coffee, and then I started personally getting accused of bias.

Should have just ignored it.

Oh well. Interwebz.

*Edit. Jesus. Buy a calculator. If something costs 300 down and X amount for 24 months...how much have you paid? C'mon. Add!

Was about to say the same thing, more or less. Predictable as it gets.

Oh well. Interwebz.

The only thing Microsoft has done different that earned them flak was their strange inability to release accurate info following the conference regarding the Internet connection and DRM. It's not that bad....and you're crazy if you think Sony wont be following suit.

Here's another one:



It really is a pretty lame cop-out to cry about gifs. You welcome to post your own. Its just a little humor. You don't have to get so upset about it.

People are allowed to prefer one consumer item over another consumer item. I dislike how MS does its games business, so I prefer Sony. If Sony starts sucking harder than MS, I'll prefer MS. Or neither, really, if the DRM gets much worse.

When it comes to computers, I prefer the way MS does its business, so I roll with MS.

(I can find gifs for that as well, if you like)

When it comes to cookware, I think Cuisinart is a better bang for the buck than All-Clad, so I go with cuisinart.

And so on and so forth.

I just don't understand why you would continue to post them? What is the purpose? It's not even funny. They actually make me cringe a little bit because the humor is so... idk, slapstick? 14 year old?

But yeah, anyway, if you want to ever get back to discussing the merits of the systems and stop being a d-bag I'd be happy to continue. I think you have to remove your bias for a good discussion, but perhaps even with that handicap we could still talk about stuff.
