New Xbox Reveal

[ScarfacedBuddha]

I actually am excited for all of the peripheral uses of the XB1. You call them "gimmicks" yet I call it "streamlined use". I am an avid user of Netflix, Hulu Plus, IE9 on console, Skype and other varied uses of the 360. To think that I can add my DirecTV and other items to my Xbox is exciting for me. As I do not have a kinect now (My living space is too small), it sounds like the new kinect will not have the space requirement of the current device. Now, if we could get a running Pandora app on the XB1 instead of having to go through IE9, I'd really never use my laptop or HTC One X+ at home ever again. Once I'm home, I'd just say "xbox on" and start running it all from voice. That, to me, is exactly what I want. I'm not worried about it "always being online" or having to load the game onto the hard drive. I do not buy used games, I either buy them new or wait till prices drop anyway. And as soon as my xbox is on, I'm doing something through XBL anyway. I still have not bought a Blu-ray player, recently started looking at them, but seems I'll just wait and get the XB1. My only real concern about the XB1 is that it is not backwards compatible. My favorite franchise (Mass Effect) and now my favorite game (Defiance) Will not be playable on the XB1. That's disheartening. It would have been fantastic to gift my 360 to my little cousins who are stuck using the Wii, but looks like I'll have to keep it for when I'm feeling nostalgic and want to play some older games.

^This^ From my understanding you need kinect with it, if they don't give you an option to buy without I for one will give it a miss. Besides the voice commands are not a good thing, getting up to look for the remote control is the most exercise some people get!

You don't need to use it... Problem solved.

I find it funny how some of the 360 brigade said that, and I will use quotes "Blu ray is going to die on it's arse and the 360 or next Xbox doesn't need it". Funny that this media format has dominated and now the Xbox One has it they are creaming in their tidy whities because of this. The specs of One are pretty nice mind, shame it looks like a Betamax recorder

blame the xxx industry for blue ray. that is also the reason why VHS and not betamax back in the day

I want one... Nice features.. And I hope they offer a nice iptv package..

The thing could look like a brick... I really don't care about a system looking cute.. I care what it does.

well said...I can't believe people actually cares what it looks like.

Your Sig has no xbl name, but it matters not. We are all games players, Loyal to Our consoles and will play Defiance on whatever!

Thats because rarely play online on the 360 and have Defiance on the PS3. I am not saying people should not go out and get one, I will no doubt be an owner of both I just think it's ugly.

Hi there, in your honest opinion, what is Defiance like on the PS3.
I think on the xbox it reminds me of Borderlands.
Yes I do like the game and the series and would not care how it comes to me, BUT it must be of good quality.

Honest opinion? Good but slightly broken. Hoping the upcoming 1.020 patch gets rid of most (if not all) bugs. The visuals are ok for a game of its size and apart from a few server time outs now and again there are always plenty of people online. I like the game and hope it's future is bright

Thank you for your answer.

Any time.
