Ouya is clearly the best investment, though. Best value for the dollar. Has lots of games the other systems won't, super-open to indies, emulators, and the whole E3 shenanigans were hilarious.

Ouya isn't a serious console though, i would see it at most compete against WiiU. Its not a fast system and i have yet to see a hardcore game on a android platform.

I am so going to buy the Ouya.

I think that image is a fake. why you ask?
Bing does not have an autocomplete feature like google. It only suggests things you've previously written in.

Yeah, bing only seems to show search history.

Google does though, and at least thats amusing.

If more people adopted it then we might see some "hardcore" games.

I am hoping one day Valve will make an open console running Linux, there is no reason not to make a PC console right?

[miauw62]

Isn't Valve making their own console? The Steambox or something like that?

This is simply not true. I almost never use bing, and I have certainly never typed in "the xbox one is amazing" and yet when I went there it auto completed to that.

Two things are notable:

I am using a noscript, and unless I let bing though it can't autocomplete. And the same for google, but google is allowed to run by noscript by default. Perhaps you also have a script blocker that allows google but not bing?

Additionally, if you just leave out the word 'is' bing auto completes it relatively equivalent to google, terrible going to fail ect. Also it gives more then one autocomplete, where the is only gives one for some reason.

I don't know, it certainly could be intentional, which would explain why only the very specific addition of is works and why it only gives one option. On the other hand it doesn't really make sense if they were going to do it to limit it to such a specific thing as that adding one word changes it, additionally adding is to other searches also sometime has other odd effects on bing, removing or changing autocompletes even when one would think it would not.

I think it is most likely that it is just a quirk in how bing handles words like 'is'.

Edit: This post brought to you by the word additional and the number $.

I just tried it, the picture is truth.

If you remove "the" in your search, bing says xbox one is bad. A quirk in the search coding.

Now that they don't actually have to deliver the Family Sharing thing they can pretend it would've been amazing, rather than a glorified demo service.

"It was going to be so awesome!  Too bad you ain't never gonna see it now.  And IF we do decide to implement it on a future date, it is going to be a watered down version.  You non believers are missing out on so muchruined it for everyone."

No, it's clearly a product of them setting that one specific search autofill manually, whereas the others remain dynamic and possibly stolen from google. They presumably got the idea from Google humiliating them earlier, with a similar trick where they set a large, random string of characters to lead to a specific page (manually, nobody was searching it) and found the same result showed up in bing.

ITT: Bing still gets all their ideas from Google.

[Knight of Fools]

Which makes their commercials about random people on the street liking Bing more than Google in a blind "taste test" all the more pathetic.

It has autocomplete, I never use Bing either.

This. I don't think they're trying to cover up much.
