www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/5-features-new-xbox-that-are-about-to-ruin-everything/I like to compare the Xbox to the seaside town of Redcar. in it's hay day it was the go to town for a day out to the beach. it was just a head of it's rivals: Saltburn (the PS3) and Hartlepool (the Wii). however then came the council estates(the graphic wanking, call of duty, fuck-yeah yobos), the horribly corrupt council (the guy in charge at the moment) and the abomination known as the vertical pier(built in kinect and all the "innovative" features). Now, all that is tolerable as there will inevitably be a beautiful, enjoyable regular pier (indie devs). but no...they had to build wind turbines about two inches off shore (no second hand games or backwards compatibility). and with that final axe stroke you know that all is lost. It has become the worst part of the north east and nothing can save it. well I don't know about you but I'm off to spend my afternoon in Whitby (steam) instead...or go back to Saltburn (PS3) occasionally but only because my granddad (Uncharted series) lives there.

Well we know XBLA will not, and 360 discs won't play and with all this tlak of arcitecture they are making it sound unlikely that anything more than your gamertag, and achievements will not carry over.
What is the point of keeping your hard earned cheevos when you can't even play that games you got them on? It's not like a fraind is going to say "Oh man, you got the Perfect Agent achievement already? I better go play some more Perfect Dark and catch up." Yeah. It's pointless. I carry no pride in these little acomplishments and this is exactly the reason why.

I carry no pride in these little accomplishments and this is exactly the reason why. I never thought of it like that (not that it matters) but young people who's first console is the Xbox One (already a redundant name because I mean the new Xbox One not the old Xbox one ) they wont see the "old achievements" as being accomplishments but as something that must have been easy to get. Also once Microsoft pull the plug on the 360 there will be co-op and online achievements that will be impossible to get....

Agreed on the whole "thinking they must have been easy to get" thing, what with the way games are more and more catering towards the casual gamer, I feel achievements will soon be seen as nothing overly challenging, which is a shame 'cus there are some real killers out there... As for impossible online 'cheeves, there's some in Unreal Tournament 3 that are already impossible unless you have no life lol (I.E. Kill 200 people online on 50 different days... Ain't nobody got time fo' dat)

Yeah I remember playing hours of Vice City, Halo 2, and KOTOR on the Xbox One remembering it makes me happy. Just the thought of the Xbox One makes me mumble "F%CK MY LIFE!"
Seriously: I can see a running joke going on forever about a name like that. I miss Xbox Infinity. At least it wasnt what some are abreiviating as XONE. zone..
