Remember When The X1 Was Being Made Fun of For Being a Media Console?

https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2020/09/10/playstation-5-media-remote-disney-netflix/

This is hilarious after sony fanboys spent all these years making fun of the OG xbox one for being a media console. Now Sony seems to be doing the same thing.

this is totally not the same thing. PS3 had a remote, PS4 had a remote and now the PS5 does. The difference is that the OG xbox one was a dogshit media console and games console. It failed at both.

The Xbox One had an HDMI In port for TV and had TV features built into the OS. The PS5's media remote is optional just like it's always been.

Idk man, my OG Xbox One was pretty good at being a media console. Also, the PS3 and PS4 did not have media remotes. It was PS Move, a motion remote for games.

Seems like those buttons can be reassigned since the streaming app's logo isn't labeled on the remote.

btw

lol

No one was making you use an OG Xbox One as a media system. Using the Xbox One's TV features was optional as well.

Yes, Xbox One's reveal was a bust. I agree.

This is true. However, MS totally wanted you too. In fact, some of the TV functions were tied to Kinect which they made people buy until they removed it.

Ok that last part is true. But you didn't have to use it as a media system. I (like many others did), because it didn't have a whole lot of 1st party games.

who made in front of xbox for a media remote or media console? ps3 had one and the ps4.

sony was doing the same thing before xbox any ways so why on earth would we make in front of xbox for doing it?

these systems has been a media console sense ps2 as a dvd player to play movies.

hence why there called entertainment systems.

I like the fact i can play movies and netflix etc. on consoles.

A remote control some how = the shit MS did of TV TV TV with HDMI in?

Can you hook your cable box to the PS5?

Desperation is a stinky cologne.

You do know there is a media control for PS4 as well right?

I am sure there will be one for the series X as well.

Yeah, definitely different scenarios. Hell, the PS2 had a DVD drive, and the PS1 a CD drive... They weren't overtly seen as media consoles. You could definitely make the argument that initial PS3 purchases could have been as BR players, due to the price point in comparison to players at the time, but good luck proving that.

Same for basically every PlayStation. Probably going to be the same for PS5. This is not a biggie.

The Xbox One on SW was quite heavily criticized for being a "media console." I'm interpreting your "in front" to mean "make fun of," as English likely isn't your first language, so please correct me if I misunderstood.

another dumdum lemming fails again

LMAO I managed to troll two of the biggest Sony fans on this forum into being aggressively on the defensive. I'd dsay that's pretty good for not making threads very often.

You don't know what the word optional mean right? The xbox one was BUILT around media,it had HDMI in and features,in fact many lemmings here actually bragged about that shit in 2013.

And i know because i complained why the fu** would you have 3 devices on to do a job 2 devices could do?

So TV on cable box on.

Lemmings were TV one,xbox one on,TV box on passing through HDMI.

Is stupid and redundant.

The PS4 remote wasn't included the xbox one features were include,regardless of you using them or not,which mean one was optional and one was included,just lik Kinect was forced on YOU regardless of you using it or not.

Seems like you're projecting a bit.

@thatdbfan: pfft, get on level of trolling.

Hey, I didn't say I was great, but it's working.

no my English sucks lol. i always had a hard time typing what my brain is saying and always comes out differently than what is in my head. always been one of my flaws. my grammar sucks to.

i always had a hard time with this. i can't spell to save my life.

what funny is English is the only language i know. thank god for spell check lol but sometimes spell check doesn't even know what word im trying to spell thats how bad i am with it lol.

Thank OP for sharing the link for the remote. I wasn't sure if sony was going to make remote, but i really want it

0/10

I loathe those dedicated service buttons.

I 3d printed a new shell for my Roku remotes just so I could rip them off of the PCB.

No, you PoS. I don't want to switch to fucking Netflix.

Maybe, but it attracted the cows.

Always here to lend a helping hand.

For being a "media console", the XB1 sure sucks at media. I just plugged in an external HDD to my brother's XB1 last night, to try to watch some old movies I have that I can't find on streaming services. The thing couldn't play anything. It wanted me to search the store for an app to play mpeg and avi files. PS4 never had an issue with that. Played anything I wanted, right out of the box, no set up.

@thatdbfan: Whelp this thread sure backfired on you lol.

You can't give it 0/10. Its bringing in the herd.

That's the problem, Xbox was okay for media, but shit for games. Well, here we are in a new gen and the games issue still lingers. What's the god damn deal?

Not the same thing. MS was basically trying to sell a tv decoder that could play games. While Sony is marketing a game console that can be used as a media player as an option. The PS3 was a great media streaming device for it's time with the PS3 media server, but it wasn't really marketed as one. Just a BD player and game console. Now however, if you have a modern tv it does media streaming just fine, but it's great to have options.

Totally over someone's head.

No, it's achieving exactly what I wanted.

You couldn't spot a troll thread, so here you are projecting.

I hope you don't charge Phil Spencer for that big space in your head.

I love these kinda things.

I had PS2 DVD Remote

I had the Game Gear TV Tuner for watching late night TV in my room

I love this kinda stuff I dunno who would hate it give me that disney+ button and the Netflix button.

Never experienced this issue. My One was a great media box. However, my PS4 refuses to read CDs. MS beat Sony in the entertainment system department of this gen. Wish I would've kept my One so I could still play games and also listen to music, as well as watch movies. Sad job Sony, sad job.

At least I could watch movies, listen to music, and play those sweet multiplats and the MCC on my OG One. My PS4 refuses to play CDs. Great gaming system, shit media system, the PS4 is. Sony needs to step up their game here if they wanna compete with MS.

Xbox one didn't even come with blu-ray player app I had to download one off the xb1 store to be able to play blu-rays.

I had the same problem as him my xb1 video player app couldn't play a lot of my media files that were on my PC.

I was trying to watch porn and some movies on my big screen TV through the xb1 linked my PC on my home network. Like I said it would not play the files my PS4 has an still does. Its a better media machine for me.

Good to know you buy game consoles to watch porn.

It didn't hurt to download the Blu ray player. Was easy as 123. Still having trouble playing those CDs on my PS4. Sony is really lacking here.

@thatdbfan: xbone couldn’t even send proper signals to 7.1 surround sound. It would mix up the back channels.

Pretty pathetic machine overall, almost as pathetic as its fanbase

OMG something like that happened to me I had HDMI Splitter and the xbox one wasn't powering it up so I had to make my PS4 the main device to get power to the splitter so it would turn on. Xbox one was trash dude.

No. The Xbox One was a gaming console that tried to make television and media their main selling point. The PS5 has games as the main selling point, while the media and television are other fun options for gamers.

Pretty funny coming from you quack, how many alts are you up to now? gotta be at least 6 and all of them cry that people are taking the piss out of your Godny lol

The PlayStation 2 could play movies and had a controller too. Pretty much every PlayStation has been a media center. I believe the Xbox One was made fun of because of that “TV TV TV” E3 reveal the Xbox One had.

I remember Vue, then I saw headline in recent past of Vue shutting down. Who'd of thought a streaming TV/movie service couldn't thrive by locking itself exclusively behind PS4 hardware?
