I'm interpreting this to mean it's nowhere near ready to talk about publically.
Some people are going to be very disappointed, but I can't blame them for reading into Spencer's and Greenburg's tweets.

Microphone so you can use Cortana without a headset and without your party hearing.

I guessed in another thread that with the Surface team involved, new hardware wold be a chance to have no power supply. Good to see ekim all but confirm. Good stuff. Hopefully they've gotten over their fear of stuff blowing up.

Genius shouldn't be necessary. From rumors it seems the APU will be ~50% smaller and consequently much cooler. A 40% shrink of the case and internal power doesn't sound like a reach at all.

This E3 in general will still have lots of surprises. Plenty of things haven't leaked. Just strap in and enjoy the ride.
Did all MS stuff leak or is there something left?

There are still surprises
You mean we can finally stop hearing complaining about something people put behind their TV and never mess with again?

I like the external power brick, I like the removable batteries, I like the fact the controller doesn't have a mic/speaker/glowing light so the batteries last for ages. Let them complain.
I just don't understand the argument against removable batteries.
Me either.
As for the brick, I have no issue with it since it does help keep the console insanely quiet. Hopefully the slim stays just as quiet without one.
Me either.

it does suck having to drop extra on rechargable batteries.
And the power prick can get annyoying if your tv stand isnt high enough off the ground to hide it underneath
40% smaller than an Xbox and the PSU combined. That's how. Don't expect a 40% smaller box, you'll only be dissapointed.
I can understand the problem with pay extra for batteries but I think everyone should have rechargeable AA Eneloops in their house anyway.
It's a thick one huh?

There is no argument against it.
There's nothing to understand.
Actually no, there is ONE argument against removable batteries. Cost. That's it.

i just bought myself a charger and an extra set of batteries last week. I love being able to swap them out at will and the higher mAh rating is a godsend but that walmart employee had to pry that $40 from my hands
not sure how that happened haha

Thats what I am most curious about.
Also, my only controller now randomly looks up in FPS games. Happens randomly, unsure whether I should wait to buy the new controller. Do people think it will be released during the conference or in the fall?
Yeah, I'm interested as well. I mean, you can sort of guess how it all will play out, but I wonder how far they will take it. PC streaming to Xbox? Xbox One system UI/infrastructure/"UWP" to Win10?

The two rumors are Xbox UI on Windows 10 (whatever that means exactly) and all 1st party Xbox Exclusive titles will be on PC via UWP.
I'd say that everything being on PC is all bit guaranteed, not sure about Xbox UI though.
I'm interested to see if there are any already released exclusives that they will being to PC. I know we have rumors of Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5...
What, really?
After Stinkles said it's not happening because it wasn't built with PC in mind and it would throw off their current production schedules?
Are we sure it's not like Forza 6 Apex and just a part of Halo 5? It would not surprise me one bit if they got the MP on Windows 10 and left the campaign out.

As I've mentioned before, really hoping that mods are part of the "things we've never done before". With the new ground Bethesda's made in bringing mod-support to consoles, and MS merging their Xbox and PC stores, an "Xbox Mod Workshop" would be incredible, and something that unlike their other two big competitors, they'd be well-situated to pull-off. It would also ameliorate many concerns people have with both the Windows Store, and the Xbox-PC unification. If bringing Xbox games to PC meant mods on home-consoles, I think you'd find audiences supporting universal Xbox games far more.
Just think of the possibilities:
Scalebound with effectively infinite custom quests, new areas, weapons, dragons - hell, hate the protag? Replace him.
Dead Rising 4 with a constant influx of bizarre weapons, vehicles, playspaces and zombies.
Perhaps Sea of Thieves and future Gears games too. MS have a ton of games running on Unreal Engine 4. Implement it into your UE4 Xbox dev tools.
Would be so good.

This never crossed my mind before. I hope this happens.

Stinkles has already called this out.
Dragon Punch, are you thinking of Halo 5's Forge/Custom games coming to PC? That's already known.
Suddenly Dragon Punch's credibility has taken a blow.

Everyone aside from those looking forward to Phantom Dust.
One day, one day it will happen.
That would be awesome.
Why? The mods already verified him. Also, his stuff about Dead Rising 4 seems spot on.

Absolutely fantastic. I'm 29 but I feel like a kid again this E3. I'm so excited for MS's conference right now.
Because Stinkles already called him out on his claim that Halo 5 is coming to pc.

The ideal scenario for me: They bring the games over with cross-play, launch them from the Xbox app.
That way they turn Xbox into another competing system on PC with Steam and Origin.
Likely this will just be Xbox exclusive titles that get brought over. Then again if they could bring all of the Xbox games over that would be great. Would get confusing however to have both an Xbox and Steam version of Assassins Creed or something. If it is just the first party exclusives then I will be stuck buying the next Xbox because I can't drop consoles until I can play Destiny on PC.

Stinkles says a lot of things...
I still remember all the stuff he denied which turned out to be true after all...
Halo CEA, Halo 2 Anniversary etc...
Development hell...
There was a Rumor when Tim Longo joined 343, they had to redesign the entire Campaign Story etc...
Wouldnt surprise me if true.
Time will tell.
I'm kinda hoping Halo MCC gets a mega update, long shot I know but they haven't done anything with it for ages which could just be them forgetting it exists but I hope they went dark because it was getting the attention it needs, maybe even Reach, Halo 3 updates and super long shot, a PC version.
