• Microsoft reveals Xbox One, due worldwide this year

• sjmlondon 21/05/2013

  The XBone is one pig ugly bit of kit and they want this to take pride of place in your living room.
  
  The games better be good because all the other stuff is just flotsam that is far easier to use on a laptop/tablet/mobile phone this days. I wish they would just dig a big hole and bury Kinect once and for all. Bring on virtual reality or something similar, 4K or something truly innovative.
  
  How many people in the UK are really interested in the NFL? The same old, same old Halo, Gears, Halo, Forza stuff wheeled out.
  
  Awful, awful launch presentation. What about the actual hardware specs?
  
  In the Currys / PC world winter sale, Xbone now just ..... with free copy of Halo 5, Gears blah blah, blah. Reply 0

  Sorry to be crude but that Xbox One launch makes my want to want to do a Number Two. Reply +16

• Xbox One second-hand games will charge a fee to play

• sjmlondon 21/05/2013

  It knackers up the likes of Lovefilm rentals (owned by Amazon), the biggest online retailer who'd you'd have though Microsoft would be keen to keep onboard in promoting the XBone. I suppose we'll just have to carry on waiting for games to be out a few weeks and halved in price. Reply +2

• Battlefield 4 release date, Xbox One version announced

• sjmlondon 21/05/2013

  Given that that has got to be the most uninspiring launch ever, I am tempted to wait for a Battlefield 4 faceoff on Eurogamer comparing the Xbox 1 and PS4 versions before buying either bits of kit. Reply +3

• Next Xbox Reveal: live report and live video

• sjmlondon 21/05/2013

  I don't think I've been so underwhelmed in a long time. It looks like they haven't learned anything or are just ignoring the mobile revolution. I've got Sky for TV, a pc/laptop/tablet/phone for social networking, Skype etc. Xbox isn't better for any of that stuff.
  I just want a brilliant games machine and where is that? Reply +1

• sjmlondon 21/05/2013

  Bought Kinect when it was cheap at Morrisons. Used it about once. Biggest waste of money ever. If I use Skype I usually sit at a desk or on my phone on my mobile. It just feels more natural. If I want to play games I like to sit on a cushion leaning against the sofa. Xbox surface rubbish, Xbox kinect rubbish. Reply 0

• sjmlondon 21/05/2013

  If I want to watch TV I have Sky. If I want to play games I choose Xbox. Not vice versa. Reply 0

• Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel review

• sjmlondon 29/03/2013

  This series has always been second rate. Really surprised they bothered with this one. Cack-handled controls and on the rails gameplay. I though turkeys were for Christmas not Easter. Reply 0

• PlayStation 4 pre-orders are live at GAME, requires a £20 deposit

• sjmlondon 22/02/2013

  From previous experience, knowing Game they will probably only sell you a bundle at launch, which will include a good game, a crap game and a second generic controller so the cheapest offering ends up around £450 or more. Pass! Reply +1
