Yea. Because there's absolutely no way that they will be able to improve performance between now and launch.
They didn't present how the system performs now. They presented how they want the system to perform.

XBOX ONE Reveal: UI faked from the start. Very choppy, and CBoaT

Not surprising really, but still kinda deceptive.

We'll have to see how it is when it launches, but I bet there'll be kinks, in both systems.
There always are.
There always are.
Like I said, the Xbox 360 dashboard went through a decent amount of changes from what was shown in May 2005 to what was shown on November 2005 (launch).
Assuming that what was shown on the Xbox One in terms of UI now will be exactly the same to how it will be at launch in 2013 (you know, a time in which things get updated all the time) is a bit silly.

That was my first reaction to. Since Kinect launched, I assume everything and anything MS says is completely embellished BS until proven otherwise.

Hey, look at that, the DirecTV Guide being shown within the Xbox One. You know, something some people think you need to switch inputs to gain access to.

Definitely. A lot can happen in the space of a few months.
No reason to get on their case for performance when their vision of video calling while watching TV is such an incredibly odd one.

What's HIX?
Duh? Unfinished software months from release is not gonna be demonstrated on live TV. This is like getting angry about Whitney Houston lip-synching the Super Bowl.
We already knew this too, was a huge GAF thread about it - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=566057

Imagine the performance decrease when they put all of those lovely adverts on every screen in the dash.

Or it won't.
It can go both ways. Many OS have issues at launch these days.
No matter when this sort of thing is faked, it is blatant lying and the way that Mehdi played it up was despicable.
Do you honestly expect it to run as smooth and quick as it did in the conference at launch?
I found that strange too, I think the point was that if you don't know what the channel is you'll guess first and it'll bring you to the wrong channel, and from there you can just say the name of the channel. Extremely strange though.
Lol, she probably wanted to show that even if it wasn't the right change new, you could switch again. But the response time was terrible, it took more than two seconds for it to scroll down the guide.
Pretty awesome they let people know that.

Anyone believing even for a split second that a stage demonstration is actually using live input and not just video, especially when timing and presentation is crucial is delusional or naive. It's highly unprofessional to leave anything to chance, just look at the embarassing Skyward Sword fiasko 2010. Miyamoto looked like a fool when the controls started to spaz out.
The system is far from release, and honestly, for a WIP presentation it still looks amazing.
The UI and OS in the Xbone is going to be impressive. Shame about the DRM bullshit and Kinect.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fuck I love these completely logical posts amidst the wave of posters looking for shit to hate on because its in vogue.
And then she says "ESPN" to show you don't need to know the specific channel number.
That had me scratching my head too.

Yeah, there's no way it can work that fast since you just plug your cable/satellite box into it.
So channel changing etc. is going to go at whatever speed your box regular goes at, or slower if the One causes any extra lag. Disappointing as I hate how slow and clunky my old DirecTV DVR is at changing channels--especially for channels in different resolutions and would love something that worked as seamlessly as they demoed--but knew it was bunk as soon as they stated that it just had a plug in for cable/satellite boxes and no built in tuner/TV DVR.

Yeah, I guess so. I'm sure alot of this being Windows 8 native helps too. But man, that sounds like quite a deadline crunch.
Also, every single Xbone OS example has been so laughable. "Let's say it's Monday night, I want to watch Monday Night Football, but I have no idea what channel ESPN is on. What can I do?"
The only way to fix it is with 4 OS and 4 GB reserved.

Could that be because of the way they blurred the content out? Also why dont they show it with something other than sports? Why not something with different timeslots like the disney channel.

Yeah, that seemed like the perfect softball lead-up to the magic of "Xbox, watch ESPN!"
But noooooooooooooo......
I have no idea.
I don't know, based on Windows Phone 8 I don't see why it couldn't, but then Surface RT is a thing.

she even says that was from a 7month old build.
she put it onto a random channel to show you how you can call espn. She was on espn before so she needed to change the channel first.

Dude, it's Metro, and Metro, is hot garbage.
Thing is, they need to rewrite the OS as they are moving from PPC to X86 and features take quite a bit of time
Even in the colony video right before E3 2005, the dashboard didn't look the same and looked buggy/choppy as hell
People who use windows alpha/beta builds knows how late everything comes together...

Is it false advertisement if the final product will be what they presented?

It's not surprising that the product isn't fully optimized yet, but the fast-response and smooth video in Snap was easily the best thing about the xbone reveal. If the final product doesn't perform as well as the demonstration it'll hurt what's one of the console's best selling points right now.

So the games weren't the only faked thing in that show?

Yeah, but usually it is close to the same working quality somewhere else. They faked it and there is no representative prototype that works in the same range of quality.
