XBOX One to stream to Windows 10 PCs

[StareX]

Old news.

 

Edit: Dat date tho and bump.

[cesrai]

sure, it's horrible to use a tv for a pc, but it's great on a console. logic.

Yes it's great for a console, lets say you use a PC, where would you put that box ?? Next to the table or inside it that if it can fit, it will ruin the aesthetic of the place, I will have to buy wireless mouse and keyboard, and something for couch gaming like the Razer thing that they showed in CES 2015.

With consoles, put them inside the table or on top of it it will look great and match the athletics, you will be using wireless controller and just relaxing on the coach or on the floor.

yay Forza

Why is this thread turning into a PC v Console circle jerk? People like playing on PCs. People like playing on consoles. End of story, no? Or do we need to rehash this stupid debate every 2-3 days and shove it down everyones throats?

I hope you're kidding me. The xbox is almost as large as a micro atx case. "ruin the aesthetic"? As if the xbone looked good... and any wooden axis (dirt cheap) can support a mouse and keyboard (dirt cheap).

 

And the gaming experience with a tv is identical both with an xbox and with a pc...

Wooden axis ?? What do you mean ?? Micro ATX cases as big as Xbone, show me those cases and include them in your build and we will see the price rising, yes the PC will ruin the aesthetic, the consoles just blend in and don't stand out like a PC would,ask @shadowcaptian and @Victorious Secret's about the aesthetics, both of them have a nice set up and I'm sure a PC will ruin it while a console won't, also the PS4 is a console too and it looks gorgeous.

If I wanted a micro PC case to fit in my with HT setup as it is now, I would have to spend a fair chunk of my 350 dollar budget on a slim, black case. 

To me, aesthetics matter. Its sitting on my equipment shelf, it has to be black and blend in and have a minimal of lights and other nonsense. I have to pay to get cases that fit that. Some people don't care, which is fine. If I wanted to, I could just throw my Air 540 next to my stand and call it a day. OR I could do it right, have a micro ATX case on the shelf itself net to my receiver or Xbox or Blu Ray player; I'd have to pay. 

I do understand that some people don't care, but I do. I pay more for things that look nice. Lots of people actually do. My Xbox One might not win design awards, but it blends into my existing equipment and doesn't draw attention to itself, which is what it should do as a piece of HT gear. ITs not a piece of art. Its not a 50,000 dollar McIntosh receiver. Its not sitting there to be admired.

I second this just replace xbone 1 with PS4.

It's against the agreement to clone the OS, you would have to buy one and that only rises the price of your PC, your point is invalid m8.

You're misinterpreting the agreement. With "copy" they mean copy the installation media. Windows licenses usually cover 3 separate computers.

Show me.

[AHaskin14]

I think the other way around would be a really big seller.

[dalekphalm]

You're misinterpreting the agreement. With "copy" they mean copy the installation media. Windows licenses usually cover 3 separate computers.

Actually, that's generally not the case. Windows licenses generally cover ONE computer, not three.

 

When Windows 7 was popular, you could buy a "family pack" that came with three licenses, but that was a special bundle, not the normal retail package. The normal retail package includes a license for one PC. OEM Pre-built licenses (Such as the one on @cesrai's laptop), are non-transferable. They are only good for the computer that they came on.

 

OEM System Builder licenses, like the ones we generally buy for a custom build PC, are also non-transferable, but there's generally more leeway, so if your motherboard dies and you put a different model in, Microsoft allows you to "reactivate" without putting up a fuss. But under no circumstances are you allowed to run this license on more than one machine at the same time.

 

Sure, it might install, and it might even activate, but that doesn't make it legal or the right thing to do.

 

Include an OS in any "Console killer" build, or else it's invalid. SteamOS/Linux is not a valid alternative until all major game releases come out on Linux at the same time as Windows.

I did own a laptop - given to brother- but now I own a desktop now, thanks for the help m8.

Yea, but then that breaks up the circle jerk about having 350 dollars PCs. The sad reality is, at 350 dollars, both the XBO and PS4 are hilariously good gaming value. They just are. You pay that much and still get decent gaming backlogs and graphics. Especially now that its been a while since both have released. You've got plenty of cheap stuff to play. So out goes the "DAE STEAM?!?!" argument too. 

Mainly, I think its just sadness that people can't accept that some people like playing on consoles. I have a few rigs that can manhandle anything. I still play a lot of FIFA/Forza on my Xbox because those games are fun, they're fun on the platform, and thats how my friends play. Tough shit, I don't get why people are so "worked up" about this.

I totally second this but no one is going to believe you because there illusions will be shattered, like @"trik'stari" and some others.
