When the Xbox One was unveiled, I was disappointed. The focus on TV, Sports, and German Shepherds greatly decreased any building excitement I had for Microsoft's next gen console. I have accepted the impending death of used games and the rise of the always online requirement (competitive businesses usually adapt the same strategies... my guess is Sony will soon follow).

Some of the best authors will tell you that writing a short story is a lot harder than writing a long one, that you have to weigh every sentence. What better medium to see how this theory plays itself out beyond that than with movie trailers?
