hmmm
You don't think? With the slanted design and the colored light/line, I think a metallic shell would be quite pleasing.
Kind of like the silver PS2:
hmmm
Good, I can't wait to see the new dashboard. The current one looks like shit.

So if I read the report right, I can't effin get Xbox One in Belgium this year either? It was already ridiculous but now it's really getting out of hand.
I really want an official statement from 'Krosoft.
I don't know if a disc less console is a good idea. First off, the BR Drives only cost ~$28, so the most I can see is a $50 price cut. Even if this comes in fall and all other component prices go down, enough for the price cut to actually be $100, the OG XB1 would still get a similar cut. For that price difference, I don't think there's too many people who would give up a BR player and the possibility of using discs for their games (the old bandwidth argument).It's funny I say this now, as I was always a proponent of both consoles launching with a cheaper disc less SKU... I just don't think it'll make the difference they expect it to.
I'm also wondering the same thing, and have been for yearsWhy would you live there?
Serious question though; what would the difference be for you from ordering it from France or Germany compared to buying it in Belgium?
Don't expect a drastic change. Probably nothing on the home screen(which looks friggen great to me). But most likely in the sub areas that people are complaining most about.
The direct cost of a BR drive is one thing, but wouldn't there also be a license cost? Other than that Microsoft could easily take a $50 hit on each ODD-less console due to the fact that the user most buy products trough their store, a store which they get a bigger cut than from retail sale.
This is surely just assumptions, but I could see them making more on this. You know; the perks of a walled garden.
Any one else think it's weird that the Titanfall console on the box is different than the rendered one?

Well If there was a white Xbox one I would be very tempted if it came to the UK.
I think most of these rumours are made up crap. Lets face it, a discless console with only 500gb? Hell even if it were 1TB it wouldn't work
Just looked at Article... No one mentioning the rumour of this badass console?
I would get that day one. Make it happen MS and you have a sale!
50 Mbps, no caps.
How long does it take for you to download a 40gb+ game on Xbox?
Have you downloaded Assassins Creed on it?
Releasing without a disc drive is a mistake.

Disc-less Xbone is not good. Just further controlling by Microsoft.
i feel like though it'd get it out of their system for a bit if it didn't do well, so it may be worth the risk
I really like the white X1 controller. The system in white is just ok.
Is there anything in the Verge report that was not already rumoured or expected?
We have the white console, that MS themselves said they may release down the line.
We have the disc-less console, something we heard about before the bone was revealed.
Not sure if we knew about a 1Tb HDD, but it's not really a shocker either.
Same with the update, of course they are going to patch things.
Is Sunset Overdrive launching this year news?
Not saying that this stuff is not exciting, just that we knew it already, some of it from a considerable time ago. The stuff we didn't is obvious in it's possibility.
All those missed countries look even worse written down in a list like that.

GameStop is gonna love MS if they release a SKU without a disc drive.
Yep, for the most part it was just putting dates on things we already knew or suspected. FH2, Crackdown, Platinum game, the stuff you mentioned, etc. The Halo stuff was certainly cool to hear and, while we figured Halo 2 Anniversary would come, we had no idea about the ports.
What we did not hear about were new features that MS might be adding to the OS. Anything about a 3rd party app marketplace. Nothing about how the Bone fits into the Windows ecosystem changes coming up with Update 1 and then Threshold next year. Nothing about indie stuff. Nothing about Twitch. Nothing about what features and enhancements this update will bring. The leaks were pretty slim in details and while good to get confirmation on a bunch of things, I think the actual reveals will still provide them with hype. I, personally, am looking forward to seeing what Forza Horizon 2 looks like. Especially if they are doing some sort of cloud generated weather stuff. And if they are, I am suspecting it is weather that is calculated for all players at once and not on a player by player basis.
same here, I'm not really impressed by these confirmations. we all know consoles will be released in different colours and flavours (larger hdds, slim versions, adding and removing feats). we should have also learnt MS use to release two big updates, spring and fall, so they will fix lots of issues and they might include new features/options and-or re-organize the dashboard.
the news for me is SO release date, which seems to have been confirmed for this year, the same goes for QB apparently. many people didn't expect any of those titles to be released during this year. obviously the Halo leak is the most important, because it implies H5 being delayed and the release of Halo 2, 3 and 4 on XB1
Sorry, my thoughts was ahead of my typing. Telenor are finally setting up fiber in my area these days. So by late February/beginning of March I'll be "up to speed".
This is me now:
So were the leaks fake since the titanfall bundle console was different than the one on the box?
Good to hear! May get that one instead of the white skuNo. It was verified my mort on twitter. It's just a mock up image, but the bundle is real.
