was hoping for an update on the sku with no kinect.
I actually had no problem reading that. Is something wrong with me?
Really? You might want to check out the OP's user name.

My goodness, his typing is so hard to understand. CBOAT may not get paid to post, but we should pay the translators
Can't speak for Amir0x but I request all payments in the form of tiny, bathtub-shaped chocolates.

"Stay out of my territory" you should say.
If they launch the same day, it'd be a spectacle to stand in one of those midnight lines

choo choo!
cool info, especially about release date. MS still scrambling on that, but good to see they're looking into digital resales and stuff.

Told you, man. Probs never gonna happen, definitely not before launch, with pre-orders sold out. Xbox and Kinect are ride and die together now. Mark my words. Kinect will be built into the box next gen.

Isn't a support taxonomy just a flowchart i.e. a script for CS reps to follow? Doesn't seem to me like a lengthy training schedule is required to perform that task and kick things up a level of support when the script fails to help the customer.
Non-issue.
Well, he works for Polygon, which got paid by Microsoft.
What do you expect?
I feel like he really just wants a community manager job at Microsoft or a PR gig.

It's kinda interesting. If they beat Steam to that punch... hoo-boy.

Or they'll do it on their own terms to avoid or delay the courts forcing them to down the line.
Digital services must be one of the most unregulated ideas in modern commerce, but it's inevitable that it won't stay that way.

The notion of pre-owned digital games is really messing with my head.
How will they replicate the scratched disks--with names written on them in permanent marker--housed within the pizza-stained cases of yore?

Doesn't mean anything. You don't see Phil Kollar or Brian Crecente spewing out nonsense related to Xbox.

Oh, I don't think it is. Syphon was just convinced that they would unbundle them before launch, which i don't think is possible. I think a built in Kinect for gen 9 would be a really cool way to class itself in a completely different league. The Kinect would not even be called a peripheral by name at that point. It would simply be a 'feature of the system'. Wonder if privacy concerns would still bother people at that point, tho.

I don't know, being able to process 4 256 bit chunks of data per clock and 1 1024 bit chunk of data per clock sounds pretty saucy.
I'm just having some fun.
Alright I've got a Xbox One digital marketplace conspiracy theory forming in my noggin now.
1. Microsoft announces that they will shut down Games for Windows
2. Microsoft hires Steam's Jason Holtman
3. Microsoft still wants to make the Xbox One a primarily digital console
4. Microsoft stealthily redirects Holtman to help them create a digital marketplace for Xbox One
5. Microsoft and Holtman come up with a system that allows "used digital games" following the ebay model
6. ???
7. Profit?

I look forward to seeing how CBOAT's predictions play out.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Oh man.
You're adapting.
Sounds just crazy enough to work.
But seriously, a digital market place where you can sell/trade your digital copies of games are exactly the kind of things MS should have been announcing months ago with their original push for a digital-centric Xbone. I'm far more inclined to believe in a digital future than before if such features are involved. Just hoping that, if/when it does surface, they don't have it hidden behind a paywall - should be of the most basic functionality to any owner to be able to buy/sell/trade digital games.
In any case, hoping something comes of all this.
EDIT: Also, #Nov15ConsoleApocalypse BELIEVE
EDIT 2: WE MUST GO BOLDER
I read Kotaku denying thier old rumor before reading this thread.
Plus, MS love late date launches like 18 to 22 Nov.
Early dates is not MS.

Holy shit. If I can sell my digital games I'll go all digital on Xbox One.
Well the execs like Whitten always said that they didn't explain what the "benefits" were to the original policies. Maybe these were it. I can't believe that Microsoft would hire one of the guys responsible for Steam being as big as it is and just confine him to working on fixing/resurrecting Games for Windows. Put the guy on the Xbox team as well for crying out loud!
on our wet dreams.
The thing is, that is just a survey, can't pit much hope on that.

but he never said it wouldn't be built in next gen, he just said they want to ride it out (unless sales are abysmal). I doubt MS is even planning the next box yet.
oh good it wasn't just me.
