I was on the fence about buying a new Xbox.

This settles it. Merry Christmas!

I didn't have a console, ever. I quit playing computer games at some point.

I think I might get a TV or projector and a steam box.

When is steam going to accept Bitcoin? Now that would imply a rocket.

(I know one can buy steam games with bitcoin through 3rd parties, that's not what I mean).

I quit years ago as well. But I still have one teenager left at home. But who knows? Maybe I'll start again just because of Microsoft. Just to support the cause. A part of me wonders just how much the tech has come along.

Your teenagers will use you as a punching bag.
I used to think I was good at a few games until I had a son.
It will be humbling, but you will have new things to talk about with them.

Cypher one suggestion if you get the XBONE get Forza 5 racing sim. with force-feedback wheel and pedals. My teenage son and daughter both use me as a punching bag with all games but this one. I can get cocky and say "who's your daddy" with wheels and pedals but not those thumb sticks. A low latency tv is a must.

Merry Christmas

lol, this is great!

is XBoxOne, the one i should be looking at? there are all sorts of bundles. is there one for Forza?

i've been thinking about the differences in eye hand coordination btwn adults and kids all day. for instance, while my kids can pown me all day with video games which require fine motor skills of just the fingers, they still can't beat me with more gross, larger muscle activities like ping pong, fooz ball, pool, or shooting baskets. which tells me their neural linkages leading from their retinas to optic nerves to crossing at the optic chiasm to the synapse at their geniculate nuclei and then to their occipital cortex to the motor centers of the brain and then on down to their fingers are highly developed at a young age. it's just the large muscle groups for old guys like me that aren't fully there yet and why i have a chance!

Forza sounds good!

Yeah xbox one is the latest and greatest, not sure about Forza bundle. I've been looking at getting a couple Polaris RZR's for Christmas to get my kids off the video games and maybe get me away from the charts a little bit. If I had your amount of coins it would be a no brainer.
