Not the most articulate of kids.

 

[bleachrude]

Exactly my first thought.

Would companies REALLY fire a person over this given how close to launch it is?

Or is it that MS has bad security? (We haven't seen a PS4 unboxing compared to two for MS so what gives?)

That said...I've seen Iphone "unboxings" about a week before actual release....

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Another kid getting his father fired.

Ha same thing that went through my mind.

The new controller is just so beautiful.

Yeah I love the way it looks

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

Welp, RIP that kid's Parent's Job.

 

[Andrefpvs]

You guys are too naive.

You're implying it's a PR stunt?

Well, maybe this kid can do better Xbox One PR than Microsoft has so far.

 

[TheRealTalker]

he is using a nokia 1020 isn't he?

 

[kasane]

He has it because of reasons

 

[Milennia]

I can't believe jordan posted this shit on the internet. Idiot.

You know him personally?

 

[mangochutney]

"eeeehhhh...here's this...........ehhhhhhhhh.........this thing, you know.........ehhhh.... it's......ehhhhh...pretty cool."

:lol @ "if I don't explain everything leave a question in comments", he didn't say anything in that video.

What do you mean? He quite clearly showed what the 'Xbox remote' is! And didn't you know that you 'minus or can take one away' people when they're loud?

 

[funkystudent]

His poor parent is going to get so much shit at work tomorrow now.

 

[Bad_Boy]

.

gaf og's remember him.

 

[H_Prestige]

Someone's dad is about to get fired.

 

[StoopKid]

So lucky

 

[LuuKyK]

Is this kids mother Sonys translator-chan from TGS. All the "uhhhs" points to that.

 

[Rebel Leader]

.....It's not day one

 

[Deleted member 22576]

This is actually one of the first times that controller has seemed appealing to me.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Another kid getting his father fired.

Yup. It's always some little kid who's mother or father works at MS.

 

[RedAssedApe]

dat portrait view

 

[Twinduct]

Jimmy Kimmel is gonna show up there somewhere .. I just know it!

 

[ObjectiveObserver]

To people who are saying this is a marketing stunt, is that really a possibility? I mean, I don't exactly see how a very poor video of a kid filming the Xbox One would move units or create hype?

 

[Dinda]

Definitely PR

 

[IHaveIce]

I can't believe jordan posted this shit on the internet. Idiot.

Am I not getting a joke? Or you have to explain something, do you know him?

Is he blazed as fuck?

 

[Majanew]

Ugh. Sounds like the majority of people you come across on Xbox Live. Uhhhhhhmmmmmm

 

[BeEatNU]

He's trolling you guys, those are the final dev/test kits.
You see how he has the manual and paperwork sitting over the top?
Thats hiding the barcode and stuff. Even the box is the same, thats so internal dude trying to be slick.

 

[DoomGyver]

Excuse me I have a Windows Phone.

Sorry about your job.

 

[mangochutney]

To people who are saying this is a marketing stunt, is that really a possibility? I mean, I don't exactly see how a very poor video of a kid filming the Xbox One would move units or create hype?

Well there's people on here discussing it, that's the job done right there.

 

[Liamario]

It's a Northern Ireland accent. Perhaps an inflection of something else. But he has definitely lived in Northern Ireland for some time.

 

[statham]

why is it so hard to get a good UI video

 

[Squire]

He has a Windows Phone in the reflection of the Kinect, Dad used to work for MS probably.

FTFY

 

[OchreHand]

Is there a way to check how old this youtube account is?

Looking at the strict rules and consequences on the subject of leaking in video games... yes.

Think about the recent Pokemon XY leak for example.

 

[Spades]

You're implying it's a PR stunt?

Well, maybe this kid can do better Xbox One PR than Microsoft has so far.

Pretty sure it is.

 

[xaosslug]

Probably a fake leak by MS PR.

either that or a beta tester?

 

[JWong]

So much for the parent's job.

But he also really sounds like an idiot in the video.

 

[Violater]

Good for him.

 

[Crayons]

Microsoft employee probably accidently left their Xbox One in a bar.

 

[big_z]

This is a store demo unit, they come in generic boxes. Why some kid that can't speak worth a shit would have it at home I have no idea.

 

[alr1ght]

Maybe his dad was already fired due to failing at astroturfing gaf?

 

[Jack_AG]

My dear god, AA batteries? What the fuck is that shit, I thought we'd be rid of that shit by now. :|

"Beta tested in the future."

 

[Pain]

Viral marketing.

 

[Iacobellis]

Keep going...

 

[pizza dog]

My dear god, AA batteries? What the fuck is that shit, I thought we'd be rid of that shit by now. :|

preferable to the PS3 solution of "oh your batteries don't hold charge any more, well throwing the whole damn thing away". Or keep if always plugged in I guess if you can.

I don't actually know how PS4 batteries work but man. Fuck non replaceable batteries.

 

[Kibbles]

eyum...... ayum... ah.....

 

[pestul]

Good call on the store unit.. my guess as well.

 

[braves01]

His mom or dad is going to be pissed when s/he gets fired for this.

 

[ckohler]

This is the first time I've seen the headset connected to the controller. IWhy are we still only getting to see details like this via leaks by 14 year olds using smartphones?

Both console makers are being far too gun shy right now. With little more than a month left, they should BOTH be flooding social media with hands on demos, UI walkthroughs, tips, tricks, etc. Instead, all we get are leaks like this. C'mon MS and Sony! Start showing more stuff officially!

 

[Anth0ny]

Crazy. Someone is losing their job over this.

 

[Andrefpvs]

He's saying he's going to get some games soon, but how will he play them without updating his console to allow offline play? Unless this is indeed a debug console.

Its actually replaceable and my controller still works like a champ. Hate batteries. Preference

Not the most articulate of kids.

Yeah. I like his "reveal", but he's not skilled with words. My 6 year old daughter would walk circles around him explaining what those things are.
