Kinect is mandatory? That's idiotic.

Via the Penny-Arcade thread: - As an aside, unless Kinect really is VASTLY superior, I had to disconnect it just to WATCH THIS CONFERENCE THROUGH THE XBOX. The very first time they demo'd the XBox One, my Kinect took it as a command and started going bonkers. Then, when the conference said XBOX HOME, my XBox did just that and went home. So I had to unplug it. |

The 360 was so sad it was being replaced it turned itself off.

Do not feel bad for this Xbox. It is an Xbox; It has no feelings. The new Xbox is much better.

lol After a Microsoft-hosted London event around the Xbox One reveal, Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle has said that the console will not function without Kinect connected. I notice no mention of this, but I'll leave the equation for you all to deduce. * Kinects have been reverse-hacked * Console requires one * Console requires always-on connection * Average Tech & Security Savvy of the US |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

I don't know shit about this but the Guardian mentions it can detect your heartbeat.
I'm reading that as a step forwards with the ultimate goal of killing someone through the internet.

Actually that list tells me that my PC is going to be just fine for gaming for the foreseeable future. |

Yes they mentioned in the presentation that the new Kinect can monitor your heartrate. |

Ruling the living room is such an outdated concept. As a high-level concept it just strikes me as nonsense.

These are panicking people at the top who realize there's been no real evolution of computing power in almost 5 years. They are shitting sizzle on you and not steak. Can you shit sizzle? I'm going with it. |

FTFY There's literally nothing about the XBox One that I've heard so far that makes it superior or even comparable to a PC, or even superior to a 360 with Kinetic. You can already do all of these things on THIS generation of console, only cheaper. |

Now we know how Schild broke 40k posts. Also, read this entire thread and learned nothing about new XBox.
Watched the whole video, didn't learn anything either. |

My moronic gamer* brother-in-law: Wow Xbox swinging for the fences with an entertainment console not just a gaming console - guess they are learning - just like cell phones and iPods and cameras used to separate - the future is now Xbox One * Basically any AAA shooter/action title is god and the best thing ever. |

I particularly like how they've managed to combine the aesthetics of a VCR player with the dust-collecting traps of a box fan. That box is guaranteed to never be clean. |

Everything about this is shit. Dear god.

Are you people insane? This thing is so awesome.
