What happened...

[FrostedxB]

to the times when a video game console played video games and nothing more?

Microsoft is joining with Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm to make Xbox Live even more social. Why do we need this?
More importantly, how much will it cost?

This sucks.

Haven't you heard? Social media is the latest craze. It's the bee's knees!

Consoles + PC = THE FEWCHA!

Consoles trying to match the flexibility of the PC? Iono

Maybe the two will become meshed one day?

.. except you'll have to get specifically licensed parts and accessories at top dollar, oh wait, that would be a Mac.

Consoles will just become non-upgradable, lower spec, subsidised PCs. They've been headed that way for some time now, and I don't really see why that's a bad thing.

It's a bad thing because it's ultimately pointless

 

[kupocake]

Any entertainment hardware is 'ultimately pointless', what specifically do you mean? I've found the non-gaming features of my housemate's PS3 incredibly useful.

What happened to the times when phones were just phones?

 

[Raziaar]

What happened to the times when 95% of the people on the internet weren't morons.

 

[MJ12]

I don't particullarly care about this news.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

Even Atari 2600 had a telephone modem.

Urban myth.
