They swapped the kid with a different one?

That happens with consoles, too. Just happens less frequently. Many people will get the next 'slim' model of their console and upgrade to that and pass along their previous one to someone else.
No difference, really. Not sure why you're saying there's an advantage for the iPad?

I think it's hilarious that you need a marketing material to advertise that the device you're bundling with the system, can in fact, be turned off.
I thought it uses rocket science stuff.

Its funny how this reads like this wasn't something people were already doing freely on previous systems
Can you imagine how weird this advertising seems to someone who doesn't follow gaming news?
Weird that they even feel the need to explain to a typical casual Xbox 360 owner
"Hey! Did you know that we didn't change our policies that you currently enjoy on your 360?"

Yep a big selling point of the XB1 as it sits right now is that it operates in the same fashion as the previous console X360
That speaks volumes for how messed up the initial policies were

That it happens less frequently is the difference, in my opinion.
Xbox 360
Xbox 360 Slim
Xbox 360 E(xbox one look-alike)
PS3
PS3 Slim
Ps3 Super Slim
Even Nintendo released a Wii Mini..
That's 3 within an 8-year period. The 360 E version was completely unnecessary IMO.
With that being said I expect there to be an equal number of revisions, if not more next-gen. Its necessary to cut down costs.

Not to jump into this too much but I also think consoles likely get traded in towards a new console more than tablets, not sure on phones as you can trade it into places but rarely where I'd get a new phone unless that's changed?

That's a great marketing idea
Wonder if the "special treat" means something new to be revealed?

Is there a link to a bigger image of that?
Can't read small print
And how many of those are silver members who can't play multiplayer?

And people with ~10 accounts per console.

i would love to see the original marketing material pre-180. I wonder what they looked like and what messaging was involved.

So is the Sci-fi channel still a target for ads or has everyone moved on to only the popular channels?
I'm on mobile but go to news.Xbox.com and click into the article to see the full size picture.

what does the footnote mean
that just means that one main system? and if you log into another system you won't get its benefit? or it just means one at a time?

I think it means one Xbox at a time. I remember them saying that if your friend has silver, and you recover your gold account on their system, they will get gold benefits too. But when you recover your profile back onto your system, they will lose the benefits.
GET THE FACTS
THAT WEREN'T ALWAYS THE FACTS, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE TO KEEP REITERATING THEM
You have one main system upon which your Gold account extends to everyone that uses it. If you use another Xbox One, you'll have gold benefits but it won't extend to anyone else.

As a Gold account member, you define one console that is your "Home Gold" console that any account is granted Gold benefits on.
Your Gold account can be used on any console.

Anyone got anything new?

Wouldn't that new XB1 tv ad count? (had a thread about it)
Or is this thread just for billboards, written ads etc.)?

Madden 25/NFL commercial with Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher

had to explain the difference between falcons, ravens and Seahawks to my five year old daughter today:
Falcon is a compact, easily domesticated bird that eats rodents.
Raven is an intelligent but ungainly bird that eats carrion.
Seahawk is a majestic mythical bird as big as a jet that drinks your milkshake. It drinks it all up.

So many XBox commercials during SNF. Most dont show a game being played at all. Watching football, playing fantasy, and skype. I know thats the target here but something about a game console not featuring a game makes me sad
I saw that earlier...they have their considered "lowest common denominator" and they're failing. =/
If i didnt know what this xbox one thinga ma jig was, those commercials would make me think it was an add on box for tvs to make them smart web enabled tvs.
I agree. While Microsoft's doing what they're trying to do being a "All-In-One Entertainment Box," with Xbox One, other companies are already acting upon what Microsoft's doing in which could easily make Xbox One irrelevant in that, such as Samsung with their newly built Smart TV (here), & Apple with their upcoming Apple iTV, especially towards people that doesn't care about gaming.
Another point in this is that companies like Apple, Google, & Samsung are much bigger in popularity than either Microsoft or Sony are.
