Should I get the X1 in this situation?

Buy the XBOX ONE

Buy the PS4

I always loved the Xbox. I've had the Xbox ever since the original. But with the new details on how Micro$oft -blam!-ed up so much (but, the can still fix it in the future) is killing me. Here are some reasons as to why and why not I will buy, and what would you do. [b]Good[/b] 1. Halo fan- I have been a Halo fan since the original. Halo 5 will be an exclusive for the One, and I highly doubt that it would also be on the 360. It would really suck if I'm not able to play it anymore. I've grown up to that game. 2. My account- I've put a lot of work in my account with LIVE. It will suck to have it all go. 3. I don't buy used games all that much 4. I like some of the new things like Skype, and the games look good. [b]Bad[/b] 1. Almost all my friends are set to buy a PS4. It'll such for me to be one of the only people not playing a PS4. I want to have a social life. 2. I bought games from friends a lot of times. Now One is saying I can't do that? Thats -blam!-ing shit. 3. Too expensive in my opinion. 500 bucks plus games is terrible. Micro$oft needs to think about the people that cant afford that kind of stuff, but want to play their system. 4. Online at all times- My internet connection sorta sucks, and I am currently playing offline with my 360 because my router from Xfinity wont connect to my Xbox. If the router doesnt connect to the one, what the heck am I gonna do with it? 5. Maybe Halo is dying...

[/quote] You'll find new friends on forums and playing games online. None of the friends on my list are people I know in real life. No big deal. [quote]I like some of the new things like Skype, and the games look good.[/quote] Self-justifying; nothing needs to be said since you have convinced yourself of this. Good job. [quote]Too expensive in my opinion. 500 bucks plus games is terrible. Micro$oft needs to think about the people that cant afford that kind of stuff, but want to play their system.[/quote] It stings, sure, but if you can make it worth your while, no problem. If you compare it to the PS4, the price difference is only a couple games at best, whoop-dee-doo, big freaking deal. Get over it and drop the extra $100 if you want it, or don't if you don't. Don't pretend like this is an issue, because it isn't in the grand scheme of things. [quote]Online at all times- My internet connection sorta sucks, and I am currently playing offline with my 360 because my router from Xfinity wont connect to my Xbox. If the router doesnt connect to the one, what the heck am I gonna do with it?[/quote] Get a new router/ISP? And you only have to check in once a day for a couple minutes. [url=http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/connected]You can even perform the check-in using a smartphone if you have one.[/url] [quote][b]Good[/b] I don't buy used games all that much [b]Bad[/b] I bought games from friends a lot of times. Now One is saying I can't do that? Thats -blam!-ing shit. [/quote] [url=http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/license]You can trade games with friends as long as you have been friends on Live for 30 days and you can only trade the game once.[/url] [quote]My account- I've put a lot of work in my account with LIVE. It will suck to have it all go.[/quote] As long as you keep your 360 you'll be fine. Since the One doesn't have backwards compatibility, that ought to be a no-brainer. [quote][b]Good[/b] Halo fan- I have been a Halo fan since the original. Halo 5 will be an exclusive for the One, and I highly doubt that it would also be on the 360.

[b]Bad[/b] Maybe Halo is dying...[/quote] To me, Halo died when 343i took it over, but then I am also blisteringly biased towards Bungie, so take that as you will.
