After years of rumors and months of anticipation, the Xbox One was announced today. The confirmation that achievement points will be carried over to the new system is all I needed to go whole hog and throw money at the screen in hopes of having one materialize. Sadly, it looks like I'll have to wait till "late 2013" before I can give all my money to Microsoft. Everyone immediately went bonkers over used games licencing, lack of focus on games in the announcement, and how the Kinect will play the part of Ingsoc from 1984. Blind to all such arguments, I was of course in love and would have been even if they showed a baked potato that doled out achievement points for the entire hour. Now that I know the future (and that all Xbox 360 equipment will be obsolete) my eBay fire sale of Xbox 360 paraphenilia can begin in earnest, as I prepare my body to accept the future.
