Man. You have no problem taking a shit on the Wii U but if the Xbone is screwed up then "I'm sure they'll take care of it".
Your fanboy is showing.
The hoodie has two zippers. /boggle
LOL, wow MS you dun goofed good this gen.
CBOAT, when are you going to come out of hiding?
Seriously mods lock this thread
The originator of the information has been shown to have been wrong on everything to do with this issue...he wasn't allowed to post the original information on neogaf for a reason because its hearsay's hearsay and there is no corroborating information
Lock it
I'm IMPORTANT...Please listen to me!...Trust Me
Huh? I always thought Green Slime was pretty impartial.
My sources on this story is not CBoaT. A lot of us do chat. Thuway and I do. Some mods here and I do. They've told me things that I didn't know... but i've never posted any of that... as it's not my info. Everything I've posted is from friends I have in the industry.
I'm IMPORTANT...Please listen to me!...Trust Me
What does being a mod have to do with asking you a legit a question? What does wanting to read your shit or not have to do with the question? I asked why you chose to do what you do considering the potential pitfalls. If you'd rather not answer just say so.
Good job missing the point of my post.

Good nightOk I'm done being the Pete Dodd Defense Force.
This info isn't false. Whether you want to believe that or not is now in your hands.
Im going to bed.
....Why YouOk... I'm not going to sleep.
You've utterly missed my point. When one of your sources is CBOAT, and when you go on record being confident in what you've heard because of that, it damages the credibility of you and your other sources. At this point it makes me ask "Is Mortimer so obsessed with e-fame and being an insider that he's going to report anything he hears?"
Ultimately, it just comes across as a lack of judgment.
The image is there for all to see. You've admitted and explained the situation. I'm a bit puzzled why you can't see that people would be utterly skeptical in light of that, regardless of past successes.
The point of your post is to imply a false equivalency between a guy who is paid to spin and flat out lie for Microsoft, and famousmortimer. I didn't miss anything
Has anyone said, "Beta tested in the future." yet?
Because he posted info about bugs in a beta, made a big stink about it taking months to fix, then corroborated Thuways rumors and it turned out everything they said was wrong was actually working at release. And now he's claiming he was right.
I guess not since FM admitted the info came from Cboat. At least Cboat had the sense to admit it would probably be fixed by the time it shipped.
For fuck's sake how many times do I have to explain this.
Thuway makes a bunch of tweets with info he got in a PM from CBoaT. I know this because I got the EXACT same PM from CBoaT.
Now let's break down my tweet:
"For the record... everything @thuway is tweeting right now is what I heard as well."
TRUE! Because I got the PMs from CBoaT.
"So either verification... or we have the same sources."
We have the same source. It's CBoaT. SO THAT MEANS IM NOT VERIFYING IT. It's verification ***OR*** we have the same sources. It was the latter.
I did pass on, in that thread - which, mind you, was after it was proven that snap was NOT broken, i said that I had heard it was but never posted it because it didn't seem like a big deal to me.
I've been wrong about multiple things this year if you guys want to nail me on something.... it's there. But this isn't one of them.
Fuck I need some sleep.
What's sad is how many things they were the industry leader on with the 360 disappeared on Xbox One and actually took a lot of steps backwards - cant see a list of people you just gamed with, can't accept a game invite if you dont accept it during the notification, have to sync achievements ala Playstation. Who's responsible for these braindead decisions?
Let's step back from the original rumor for a second. Let's deal with facts.
-Many websites and users have shown their disdain for the current Party system.
-Major Nelson has publicly acknowledged this criticism, and has mentioned he will "report back to the team" about the problems. He also mentioned no timeframe would be available at the moment, but that they're hard at work updating the firmware.
-There are other more serious issues that need to be fixed before Party systems will be addressed, such as only having 2.1 sound when using the HDMI input on XB1, among other things.
-The overhaul of something like this will likely take a lot of time. The holidays are approaching, so the earliest we would see this fixed? Spring timeframe sounds about right. It could be summer, depending on what else they have prioritized.
-This rumor states all of this, plus the potential of it slipping into late 2014.
So basically this rumor isn't totally "out there" or "blatantly false" considering we have solid evidence that this is happening. I'm not sure why people are getting extremely angry. Do they want the rumors to be false, and that MS is perfectly happy with the Party system and don't intend to fix it at all?
I'm IMPORTANT...Please listen to me!...Trust Me
Yeah, and and how can they be so stupid, right? Right?And yet people are going to buy Xbones on masses and pay MS for Xbox Live gold
Sure you did. Why would I trust anyone that outright claims to be a Sony fanboy with info about Microsoft? Would you trust an Xbox Fanboy with Sony info? Of course you wouldn't. And neither would I.
Has anyone said, "Beta tested in the future." yet?
I'm no developer...
Would games then have to be patched to work with the new system? That's what it sounds like to me. The "may take up to a year" may account for the additional time it'll take for the game developers to actually incorporate the changes into new and past titles.

“Let me get into some technical detail regarding it – on 360, the OS handles all of the party and chat functionality. All you do is hook up the XBL VOiP OS API into your game, and it does most of the work for you. With it results in is a shared experience across multiple entertainment. If you’re watching movies or playing games, you can do it together. However, this system is entirely different on Xbox One. So, lets say me, you, and Thuway have xbox one’s that are online. We are signed in our profiles. Sitting at the home screen, we are considered to be in a “Xbox Party” on the server. There are no more ‘party leaders’. With that said if any one of us decide to start a game, the party is shifted over to that game’s party system. Each game now has their custom written VOIP.”
“In essence, it is almost EXACTLY how it was on the PS3, and it is in those API “handshakes” that is breaking the online experience.”

Microsoft says its working to fix several issues with its Xbox One party-chat service. The new and improved chat, that debuted as a separate app on the console, allows gamers to chat with up to seven friends during gameplay. However, Xbox One owners have reported several issues with the service, including the inability to connect to friends on occasions and restrictions on using the service while playing certain titles.
"I had a meeting today about much of this and I can say that things will get better," says Microsofts Larry Hryb (Major Nelson), in a post on Reddit. "I can't offer a timeline of a list of what will be addressed first, but we are aware of the issue and things will get better." Microsofts party-chat service has changed significantly from the Xbox 360 version, forcing users into a separate app that snaps to the side to manage parties. Its not clear if Microsoft plans to return to the style of system used on the 360, but the company is promising to address the connectivity issues at some point in the future.
NO DASHBOARD UPDATES JUST YET
Microsoft has not yet issued any significant dashboard updates to the Xbox One since its release on November 22nd. The software maker is expected to improve and tweak the dashboard over the coming months, with larger updates codenamed "Threshold" planned for spring 2015
I can confirm that both X1 and PS4 UIs will have fixes and redesigns across the next years.
I have my sources.
I can respect that. As for the pitfalls, that'd be looking like an ass for reporting bad info when it turns out to be wrong. Info that may or may not be agenda filled from who knows where. Such is life I guess.Ok... I'm not going to sleep.
What are the potential pitfalls?
Also, if you care, i actually wrote a bloggy-blog piece about being wrong.
