I probably should. Watch the final episode of season 3 of GOT while I wait, especially after what happened last week.

You made that for me personally, didn't you?
You cannot be fooled
My best advice would be to wait for on-demand instead of watching live. you get good quality and no [SPOLIER](less?)[/SPOILER] buffering.
I think it's 2000 CET (our timezone).
something fishy

Then ms have been utterly utterly stupid committing suicide for their brand and allowing Sony to win with the best console and no drm?
Pathetic if so and they should fire their execs if they were really that stupid. What a joke to allow publishers to have their way only to lead to your brand getting killed because they expected nothing of your main competition. The publishers will then waltz back to Sony and we are back to market with one dominant brand.
That would be so stupid.
I still expect third parties will get their way or ea would never have dropped the online pass. Maybe Sony themselves will avoid it though.
Fucking hell what is this .... Kinect isn't always listening and if you want to boycott MS products because they can 'spy on you' you better ditch most of you tech!

oh no! abandon ship! (all that can be turned off)
If you want to stop using MS products, you'll also want to stop using Google and Apple products, which means you might as well just ditch technology altogether.

Already a thread about it. Take your tin foil hat to that thread. This one is all about hype trains now. One more day!

Drop your smartphone,don't go youtube,don't use gmail,don't use facebook,no kidding
You came to the wrong thread.
Full of awesome.
Just bought a new 360 to replace my iffy slim since Xbone isn't having BC. It came with Kinect though, and it doesn't work at all in my room (I only have approx 3-5 feet of length to play). So I wanted to ask... Do we know if the Kinect 2.0 works in smaller rooms like mine, and if it doesn't work then would it actively ruin my experience with the Xbox One (I won't be playing most Kinect games)?
Microsoft are adamant it does and to be fair they did allow journalists to get really close to Kinect and it still picked them up.
It works in much smaller rooms yes, I also think that next gen Kinect implementation will mainly be voice and gesture rather than full body tracking.
I don't have a smartphone, I surf the net with TOR and all my sensitive emails are encrypted with the latest and strongest RSA encryption protocols. I will edit my post after all the reactions, I was surprised and wanted to notify people, that's all.
I haven't had access to the internet in the last 2 days so I didn't know there was a thread already, I apologize .
You can use a controller for all interface stuff, so it won't affect basic console usage. The new Kinect apparently has around 60% wider FOV - so you need about 5 feet...it'll probably be more reasonable but still not great.
That is very cool!
Awesome. Now I just need to see that annoying DRM removed and some games (probably seeing some awesome games at E3) and I'm in. Assuming PS4 doesn't do DRM and plays used games, what's the chance MS backpedals and removes the weird restrictions?

It will work in smaller rooms, maybe not as small as yours (at least standing up). It should work with face recognition and all of the sitting down stuff though.
Very low, regardless of what Sony do.
They may change on the ability to lend games as they said they might put it in, but the online requirement is here to stay; the whole system they have in place breaks down without it.

From the old thread.
Really? You do all your regular daily browsing with Tor? It can take forever to load even the most basic page, I can't imagine trying to load a page with a couple of GIFs on.
Anyway, if you're that concerned about privacy then I hope you've also configured every single internet facing program on your PC to use Tor, otherwise there's no point using it.

Kinect Sports 3 with controller input please
'Better with controller'
No. There's absolutely no point in playing Kinect Sports with a controller, no more than playing wii sports without motion control.
Hah, CJ, that gif fits better here, yup
Hype mode officially turned on. Bring it, Remedy.

For Microsoft's sake, I hope all those restrictions are enforced via firmware, because if this thing flops hard they're going to need to remove a lot of it.
Yeah I firmly believe they will be so they have that option. The military get X1's DRM/Online free so ...

That will definitely happen. After all, PS said Quantum Break was still early. I'd guess FallHoliday of next year.
I doubt we see any games intended for 2015+ though. Gotta save something for next E3.
I am rather enthusiast for Microsoft first party offer, but what i have heard since months from my third-party sources is really worrisome on the state of the Xbox One development environment (dev kits, sdk, documentation, etc.).
For some of them, their situation resulting of the poor quality of this framework is so bad that they haven't prepared a Xbox One E3 build of their game. Concretely, if attendees manage to play their title on the Microsoft booth, it won't be a Xbox One (or even a dev kit for that matter) hidden behind the demo panel, but a PC.
And this news isn't only relevant for one game.
Perhaps it's one additional reason (beside the DRM drama) that could explain why Microsoft seems very selective and elusive in their PR efforts during the show, to not answer and fuel this potential affair pertaining to the 3rd party situation.

So that whole Reddit astroturfing thing was complete bullshit. Big surprise.

They need to ditch the policy all together

Yeah, it's strange to see MS in that situation when it's supposed to be one of their strengths. I suppose that they're only late on those and that things will get better with time, but it won't help them for their launch games.

Whether it checks in every minute, every 24 hours, or once a week, the same problem still exists. It's still basically an always online system and the requirement is there, making the system unplayable for a large portion of gamers that don't have internet access at home.
