Hmm, what if Microsoft offered two models of the Xbox One, a home entertainment system model like the one we saw, and a gaming console model, which doesn't have some of the features, like live TV and stuff, but at an extremely competitive price point. That could work well.

They won't do that.
Probably.

I reckon they're sticking with just one model, to avoid any sort of confusion, since the device is "all in one".
Integral 500GB HDD seems to be indicating that too, i think.
 
if you are using a non owned game and play it offline in case of disconection XBL gives you 10 mins to go online otherwise it shuts down the game.

That's not the scenario I was talking about.


You buy the game, Install it to your console and then disconnect from the internet. You then trade that game in and someone else buys it. Your license for that game is resold to someone and they go home and connect to XBL. You cloud stored license is revoked and given to that person but your offline consoles can't get this info so you can still play the game. That's why it needs to connect to XBL frequently. So you don't just buy games play install and then get rid of them.

Last I heard the rumor was the full price console and then one you subsidized by locking in a Live contract, like cell phones.

No way that would happen, 3rd parties wouldn't support it, they would just develop for the lowest spec device.
 
2015, 3 year dev cycle, me thinks.

So, something this year, next year Halo 2 Anniversary, then Halo 5.

H5 comes next year in my opinion.

I don't think my Cable box has HDMI :/

I expected to be able to plug the cable directly into the Xbox one.

If it doesn't, you should contact your provider and they should replace yours with one that does. That's gotta be pretty old to not have an HDMI port.

Why is it those defending this used games fiasco seem to keep pointing out that devs don't get money from used games.

They shouldn't need to. They made their money at the initial point of sale. They shouldn't get money for each sale of the game afterwards.

If they don't like the money they get from retailers or feel they're getting shafted, charge more or provide sales direct from your company.

What other company complains about what consumers are doing with their products after they are bought? 20th Century Fox doesn't care who or where I sell my old Star Wars laserdiscs to, Canon doesn't care where I sell my DSLR, Samsung doesn't care if I sell my phone, BMW doesn't care if I sell my car etc. But apparently games devs feel entitled to sales of games again and again. Blame Gamestop for the used games market. I don't buy used games, I don't trade any games. I still have every single game I've ever bought since the NES days in my house, but to hear I can never sell them is ridiculous without having to pay for another license etc.

Reports of Xbox One's online requirements and used-game fees are no more than "potential scenarios" and not concrete details, Microsoft told Polygon via email.

"While Phil [Harrison] discussed many potential scenarios around games on Xbox One, today we have only confirmed that we designed Xbox One to enable our customers to trade in and resell games at retail," Microsoft told Polygon.

So I just learned that the controller doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery.

In 2013.

Just use rechargeable AA batteries.
Integral batteries are shit. IMO.

EDIT pretty much the only issue i have with PS4 controller is the damn integral battery. What do i do when it dies?

Everything is a 2 year cycle these days. Battlefield, CoD, Destiny... Forza and Mass Effect even? Probably others.

Well, explains why most things are crap, marginal "improvements".

EDIT very concerned about Destiny's 2 year cycle. Of course, after Reach, i'm sceptical about anything Bungie does (but worldbuilding)...

I love how even Microsoft doesn't know what the Xbox One actually does and does not do.

The controller looks like it has a battery pack. Even has micro USB port presumably for charging.

What a cluster fuck of information. Gotta wait until E3 to get all that facts. Actually, it probably won't be all straightened out until launch.
You can never fully explain things that aren't yet decided (almost feels like they're crowd sourcing reactions to random misinformation).

You mean they've already they decided and they won't provide an answer until launch.

Didn't they say this is super rocket science at one point? I almost lost it.

I wonder... Some perhaps but...
I know nearly nothing can make me get Xbox One now, even Halo 2 Anniversary wouldn't, despite loving Halo 2 campaign and that i'd love to see it with new and/or updated graphics.

cause they're not doing the presentation for neogaf they're doing it for usa today and cnn
 
This whole snap window stuff could have some great potential. Skype while playing games, Twitch while playing games, Browser while playing games. Netflix while playing games. Browser + Netflix. Skype + Netflix

I mean its not a system seller but it could be fun to use.

Also having the ability to jump completely to other things is useful. In game recording is good.

Looking at the few positives the consoles has is nice. The controller looks good. 1000 friend limit.

Looking at the Xbox One info from the dashboard and there is a reference to Smart Match, haven't heard that referenced anywhere else, but maybe just missed it.
