Mr&Mrs

Thank you.

With that said I kind of got in a little scuff on Xbox Live last night with a friend. He said he is not getting the Xbox One. I asked why? I said there are alot of rumors going around that are not true.

When he continued on it more or less came out that everyone is talking **** about it so I do not want it. I gave him all the correct info I posted here and where to read it for himself. So with all his hearsay being debunked....

His final argument was that it is not fair for poor people so he was not going to get it. It is not fair that poor people can not play it offline and it costs to much. He also had to point out the comment "If they don't have internet they can play an Xbox 360". Only he wasn't even close and added a bunch of fluff to it. Microsoft was simply saying they have an option for people with no internet. It is going to have continued support and has some awesome games being released as well. Did it come out right when they said it? No.

Last but not least their fiends will make fun of them because they cant play Online. WHAT???!!! THATS A REASON????

That really pissed me off because it make no logical sense. I went on to tell him that people being poor is not the problem. It is an anger and outrage caused by bad information and people being afraid to say what I am after their initial response. Look at my first few posts I wasn't exactly thrilled with Microsoft. How ever I can admit I was wrong and try to help others understand.

So the logical reasons this will not effect poor people....

#1 If they are so poor that they can not afford internet I doubt they can make a 500.00 "fun" purchase to begin with.
#2 If they cant play online with the new system how in the hell are they playing online with the current one? Exactly they are already being made fun of. Lets not blame Microsoft for people being bullied.
#3 PS4 is also charging to play online now so they would still be stuck offline with it. Oh no here comes the bullies!
#4 THE PS4 IS STILL 400 DOLLARS! That is not a very big difference. I do not think an extra 100.00 is going to put that many poor people into a new system.

I bet 90% of them are running around with 80-90 dollar a month cell phone bills. Why not get a Metro, Boost, Virgin (ones in my area) phone that does all the same things for half the price? BOOM! There is your internet connection. Man that was tough wasn't it? I have to let my social status iPhone go WAHH!!! Those phones only are needed by people running a business or that need access to email/internet all day for their jobs. Not so "Like a G6" can play when you get a call. I realize some people may already have a cheap phone and still not afford internet internet, and I have other input that could help that, but wont go into it here.

I do not want people to get the wrong idea with this post and think I have no heart. I do. I contribute a decent sum of every pay check to my local United Way, and participate in Day of Caring benefits. I also donate hefty sums throughout the Holidays to feed families, and supply them gifts.

Sorry for the long rant but this topic has been mentioned enough times that I had to spell it out here too. If you can afford any of these items someone else that cant should not be a reason for you to not get it. Life isnt fair people!
