Xbox One achievements... for just watching TV?

Okay, I'm sorry, but this is just too far into the utterly ridiculous. Somebody high up at Microsoft has officially lost his or her mind. I seriously hope this comes with an "opt out" option.

Dafuq did I just read? This will only convince more people to stay indoors.

Achievement: Couch Potato.

And this crap about how if you lend a game to someone, they have to pay a fee.

I'm a little more concerned about privacy issues with these TV achievements. I'm already uncomfortable enough with everyone on PSN being able to see what games I've played at the press of a button without my choice to reveal it, last thing I want now is the whole world knowing what I watch on TV.

Big brother is watching. Next up: the mark of the devil!!!

So that's what that 666-shaped scar on my ass is? I've been wondering.

Xbox One is going to fail so hard.

Not necessarily. From the things that we have currently seen I'm sure every 12 year old casual gamer is going to ask their parents to buy them the system.

Nobody is going to think less of you for watching Ru Paul's Drag Race and BET, GL.

Actually, I'm a little more concerned with my Co-Ed Confidential obsession getting out.

Nobody except Spike is allowed to read this post!

A good portion of those 12 year old gamers are going to want PS3s as well. Anybody with a brain isn't going to support Mircosoft if they stay with this current business model.

Can someone else explain to me why this system is called "Xbox One"?

Point A, I was joking and point B, those kids and their parents aren't really going to care for the business side of things. Only actual gamers do. Also, I think you meant PS4

As for the system name, I think it might be even worse than "Wii" or the God-awful "Wii U". There is absolutely no point in naming your system as "One" at this point of console generations.

Omg don't even get my started about the Xbox One and how much I hate it from what I seen from that shit press conference.

I want an achievement for drinking a beer. Now THAT shit would amaze me.

Knowing Microsoft, they're already working on it.

Actually, it's probably an achievement I would never achieve... I can't stand beer

Then maybe you'd be interested in a two-player achievement we can tackle together in private? *wink wink, nudge nudge*

•attention creeper alert!

You know, an achievement for having a pepperoni pizza and some Beer would be cool.

I am so uninterested in this new Xbox. I bet something will be released only for the new Xbox and Ps4, an I will have no choice but to get one...

I'm just getting tired of gaming consoles trying to be "do everything under the sun" consoles.

The whole system is just a glorified PSX.

No, I'm thinking something a little more intimate... like two-player Duck Hunt on NES.

Taking 359 steps backwards.

Well, things get worse for Xbox One...

-Xbox One requires a broadband connection.
-Games can only be sold to selected retailers.
-Only games from participating publishers can be sold.
-you can only lend a game to your friend if they were a member of your friend's list for at least 30 days.
-you can lend out your game ONCE. After that, you lose the rights forever!!!!
