I don't see why not, we live in a world where people pat each other on the back for writing something on facebook or doing some normal every day task lol.

 

[Dohc-WP]

Well the more news from Xbox One comes out everyday my love is slowly drifting away, really who cares about achievements to watch Ugly Betty or let alone Gossip Girl, i'm a gamer for Christ's sake, the only achievement that i will ever need on my name is for playing games thank you!, this is just crap,

 

[Grievous]

If implemented in a cool way would be nice as a tracker. Watched all seasons of 24! achievement. One of those things that if you don't like it wont affect you.

This is like when we joked about getting achievements on steam for using the newly launched software. But I don't think that happened.

Microsoft is coming out with the biggest load of bull to attract more gamers and other sorts of individuals,the worst part about the Xbox One is the buying of pre-played games.Now getting achievements for watching tv? Who watches tv when there's the internet?
When I heard about that I was like "Hi PS4, how you doin'?"

 

[TBlaar]

Watched an hour of Porn.

Who watches tv when there's the internet?"

Um.... I do.. is there something wrong with watching TV? DSTV seems to still be doing pretty well, so I would say, even though there's the internet, loads of people still watch TV. On top of you seem to have missed that people are referring to watching tv on the xbox one, which is streamed over the internet.

They applied for a patent for achievements linked to watching tv episodes on the xbox. I didn't know patents covered such mundane matters.

 

[jasong]

That's actually the diametric opposite of an achievement.

Yeah it is a bloody retarded patent.

What the actual hell??? TV is so boring, why are they focusing so hard on TV? The next console is supposed to revolutionise the game, not TV. Also, who gives a crap about achievements? They do nothing. Its a pointless grind. They should at the very least unlock some useful things to use in game or dashboard.
