    Its all about shipping cost in general it doesn't cost much more to ship 1000 or 5000 units of something, but if you can only sell 1000 you don't make your money back on the shipping so the price goes up to cover the shipping costs, where as if you can sell the 5000 units you can spread to the shipping costs across more units. The more units you can sell in a region the more the shipping costs gets spread out over all the units.

    Microsoft picked up the domain www.xbone.com

    If you type xbone.com into Bing search, you get NSFW results, LOL.

    Because that's what it's currently programmed to do. MS only picked up the domain to keep the trolls away from turning it into a joke site about the Xbox, or worse.

    Oh, and I lol'd at your sig Soggy. I wonder if pun was intended with the word "opening".

    Yeah, for shits and giggles. And because I like dogfighting, which TR has the best aircraft for.

    But I haven't played PS2 since school started a week ago.

    Fitness packed into the Kinect and whatnot. I imagine that will be really good for the general population that A. Uses it B. Aren't really fitness savy thought I feel like those two prerequisites are at odds. Healthy and active people know how to train, and people who aren't physically active usually lack motivation and time. *shrug*

    At this point in time; Xbox vs PS4 breaks down to a choice between a media centre or a single hardware gaming machine. For myself personally, I am just going to stick with the PC rig and maybe skip this generation. Unless a really good couch coop game comes up for me and the G/F.

    I wouldn't trade my fitness sessions in a club for some crap in front of my TV. That thing with the kinect is like the 1980s aerobic videotapes for housewives who are too lazy to drive to a fitness club.

    It can work in Europe tho, as some places have very very very very few fitness clubs somehow (like the greater Paris area has maybe 1/5th of the clubs that are in Montreal for a population of 2/3rd of the WHOLE Canada, more than Canada if u include tourists but they don't do fitness).
