No. I'd much rather err on the side of caution and give MS the benefit of the doubt. I'm still certain that most things will be ready for the Xbone launch based on my experience. Cboat disagrees. I pulled rank. There you go.
Exactly. We may not get to hear exactly what CBOAT has to say before launch, but I've seen enough truthfacts proven correct to know that if he (or she) says that there's an ass storm coming, that there's really an ass storm coming. It's at least a small part of the reason that I cancelled my Xbox One preorder a while back - I don't mind waiting for the dust to settle (and my wallet to recharge after buying a Wii U and PS4 a week apart) before jumping in.
(And, like bish has said, regardless of the severity of the issues, I do believe that Microsoft will fix most of them in time - if they haven't done so already. As much as some people disagree, Microsoft does hire a lot of smart people, and they take Xbox seriously - it's just a very complex product with ambitious software, probably developed on a tighter schedule than they first planned.)

Oh shit, JESUS TAKE THE WHEEEEEEEL
Not that you need people cosigning your approach, but this is probably the best way to handle it.
We probably won't know completely what is going on until people get their consoles home and get whatever build MS pushes out the night before.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Can you say the number of supposed "issues" and if so how many have been verified or have already come to light. Without going in-depth or anything?

This week is gona be awesome.
So, if he is wrong we will never know, right?
I did, because you didn't really address the central question either time. What's really going to matter to people who are still committed to an XBO purchase at this point?
I doubt CBOAT is holding back on anything as earth-shattering as massive, double-digit failure rates for the XBO at launch. It's probably more of the same stuff about features being delayed until sometime in 2014 because MS really wasn't all that ready to launch this year. Which has been obvious for quite some time for anyone not just burying their heads in the sand.

I just hope it's not catastrophic stuff. If it's a few more feature issues I won't be too upset. Now if shit is just broken...

I streamed 2 hours of dota one night and that's all the streaming I ever did before I bought a ps4
I've streamed every night since Friday. It being right there and just being so well integrated into everything has given me a new reason to show off these games
If CBOAT posts the rest, sounds like gaf will have a new meltdown

Personally I feel it spreads more FUD when stuff is posted without good evidence. Kind of agree with bish's stance on this.

Agreed, being able to quickly preview what a game looks/plays like before buying it seems like a great boon for gamers. Though of course you risk the chance of spoilers on story driven games but I'm loving the option to check out how a game plays before getting it (kinda like an extension of demos)

I can't imagine it'd be anything substantial; I mean, reviewers have been able to play through games to review them, so it can't be that fucked up, right?
At a stretch, maybe it's just a few more missing features.

Sounds like everything CBOAT shared to bish are fixable issues with enough time, and he's relaying an opinion that it won't.
Which is why I get my news from NeoGAF and not IGN/Polygon/Gamespot/Dent/Gies/Ars, etc. GAF actually fact checks.
Yeah,ever since I started watching ps4 streams I thought about this but haven't really commented on it until now. Just weird.
Maybe MS wanted a cut since devs can censor?
Anyways, too bad, I was wanting to watch some X1 streams from twitch noobs.
This is what I'm wondering too. Software stuff will get ironed out. Don't want to deal with RROD though. I was one of the lucky ones that didn't deal with it last launch. Don't want to press my luck.

I gotta go find that E3 footage where they say it will be exclusive launch 
Please don't ask questions you know I'm not going to answer.
If s/he posts the rest, their account will be forfeit.
Good, there's a reason many of us rely on GAF for news,
and why the gaming press does as well.

The most disappointing thing about this launch has been the selling points of both systems that are missing at launch.
If there's a roadmap I'd sooner they publish the roadmap rather than patch in features you were expecting anyway.
It's crazy how long we've had to wait for new consoles. It seems to have gone from who was ready to launch first, to who has the least software patches to implement.

cboat is still teasing, though, and that is worse than posting stuff without evidence since he has a generally good track record. It just causes more negative speculation.
They would be stupid to not have it ready for launch but here we are...
And to everyone trying to dismiss this as not a big deal, just go to twitch and see PS4 games being on the top of the featured list. This is free marketing and that is just the start.
Streaming is highly viral. You have a friend, he sends you a link and here it is him playing COD: Ghosts online while 50 people is watching and interacting with him. What will his friend do next? He wants to stream too because it's so easy to do, but he can do it with a capture device (also less accessible to do) + console or just a console? Which is he going to chose?
If you don't believe it just watch some streams and see the chat. I'm going to guess everyone that was excited about seeing PS4 games and also streaming on the X1 are probably pondering about changing their preorder today.

What the hell else is on the list #Truthfacts CBOAT gave to Bishoptl?

I'm going to go out a limb here and say that this thing isn't going to be a huge deal for me.

How big is the CBOAT truth bomb? Like, RROD levels big?
For some reason, I'm more interested in whether bish needed to translate CBOAT's PMs to him more than what he actually said.
At some point, when this has all blown over, I'd love to see a CBOAT post that isn't in buttspeak and just watch everyone's practiced translation methods implode.

I think this would be bigger if Xbox One were launching a few months after PS4 and didn't have streaming. Streaming is awesome, but it hasn't caught on enough for most people to be upset about it's absence. MS needs to get this feature out soon, though, because it's popularity is growing fairly quickly.

Noooooooo!!!, CBOAT stay safe, don't open your mouth, or eerr type your keyboard, you know what I mean.

What was the cause of those issues? I think I missed that.
Was it the bad Amazon batch (the ones with the faulty power supplies), or something else?
So I suppose by Friday we'll know for sure? Would CBOAT have free reign to post about what he told you guys on Friday? Assuming of course what he tells us is in fact what is missing/lacking/confirmed.

Sucks for people only getting a One because it is one of the coolest features of next gen to me. Still crazy how simple it is to have your game streaming.
Also team cboat till the end.
