I was eyeing one to replace my Steam Deck, but between the price, the recent MS nonsense, and my Deck still working fine, I opted to pass.
If it had included the ability to play all my past XB Original, 360, and Xbone games tied to my MS account though, natively on the device, I probably would've jumped immediately into a few rounds of Harmony of Despair.
I was seriously considering the Xbox Ally X, but ultimately decided against it. My Steam Deck is still going strong and there are better uses for the money.
That d-pad looks like it will be either amazing or terrible with no in-between; I'd have to get my hands on it to see. I also wish there was a wired-only version.
AI is a tool; if it didn't exist Microsoft would find a way to prioritize executive profits over its own workers regardless.
Like, why do you think Disney, another big, evil corporation, is suing over AI? It isn't because AI is "evil" and Disney is good (lol); it's because these rich mega-orgs want to be the only entities who have access to it.
Microsoft deserves your scorn; agreed. As does greedy use of AI, or ANY method, to enrich corporate profits at the expense of workers. AI itself is not the problem though.

Yoshi P with facts.
Re: You'll Soon Be Able To See 'Personalised' Ads On Your Xbox Dashboard
It should be illegal for anything to deny you the FREE option to turn ads off.

Re: Ubisoft Responds To 'Stop Killing Games' Petition, Says They're Doing Their Best To Support Players
There needs to be legislation that forces companies to make source code available like a decade after a thing releases.
Should apply to anything and everything, games included.
Re: ASUS Seems To Have Accidentally Leaked The ROG Xbox Ally Prices (In Europe)
I was all for an Xbox Ally X until the MS layoff douchery recently.
That it doesn't natively run XB360 titles also sours me.
Re: Xbox Is Using The Most Ridiculous AI Image To Advertise New Jobs
I'm pro-AI, but as a tool to help people, not as a lazy way out for greedy execs to save a buck at the expense of staff.
Slop is slop, and executive greed is executive greed. This ad is un-freaking-believable, especially given recent events.
