Albert is silent and that's golden confirmed.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[The Living Tribunal]

Did you know that Roman soldiers were paid in Salt, which was a useful and portable commodity?

[FordGTGuy]

Albert is silent and that's golden confirmed.

There is a console embargo, how is that so hard to understand?

All console level features are embargoed until midnight tomorrow.

Albert cannot break this embargo.

 

[Dai101]

What salt?

Well, i was most referring to the drive-by posts in other threads (DR3 and the reviews it got). Not so much in this very thread

YEP. I knew that ;-)

Well, 9pm ET on Tuesday.

 

[Computer]

Needs Xbox controller in hand to lick on.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Well, 9pm ET.

Well by the logic they are using we could speculate that half the features aren't there but it means nothing until we find out.

That's like with the self-publishing where people said that them not commenting confirmed there was no self-publishing and look how that turned out.

 

[Bsigg12]

Yea, pretty much. People just need to be patient and wait for all the info to drop tomorrow. I'm thinking Microsoft is going to do a fairly large formal info drop on the system tomorrow morning with the reviews being embargoed until 9pm.

 

[Marleyman]

Albert is silent and that's golden confirmed.

I am more of a viewer than a streamer so personally it not being there at launch doesn't bother me.

 

[Pachimari]

I just wonder. If the HDMI from my Mac Mini is plugged into the Xbox One, will the Kinect still turn on my TV on the right input while turning on Xbox One?

 

[FrankT]

Little weird for them to show it off at their E3 showing and not have it for launch, but hopefully if so we do not have to wait long.

Not buying it, sorry. Pretty sure Albert won't get into trouble by posting a wink or something.

Just hope they provide a date for it if it's not at launch.

 

[TonkuySlon]

Does anyone know if there will be a new SmartGlass app out there for Win devices as well as Android?

 

[Bsigg12]

Does anyone know if there will be a new SmartGlass app out there for Win devices as well as Android?

There should be an update coming to the current version across all devices here soon since games are using SmartGlass at launch for some things.

Edit: Look at Iced_Eagle's reply. I was mistaken about the app.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

There should be an update coming to the current version across all devices here soon since games are using SmartGlass at launch for some things.

They confirmed a while ago it would be a new, separate app. The current Smartglass app will remain 360 only.

As for the person asking the question, yes it will be available for Windows 8, WP8, Android, and iOS.

I think the Smartglass app for Xbox One was separate from the one for the 360 ?
edit : what he said. ^^

Oh nice. Thanks for clarifying that.

Considering they have a entire embargo setup with all the major outlets for tomorrow I would say yes he could get into trouble for spilling the beans on features.

Gamespot isn't even allowed to show the UI at all.


It doesn't matter how you break a NDA(small or large) it would look bad on you, even more so for a employee of Microsoft.

 

[Kajiba]

Dayum Amazon.

Damn. Alot of Day One editions

 

[MCD]

pretty sure?

- Dead Rising 3
- Battlefield 4

Albert cannot break this embargo.

An already announced feature being re-embargoed? What other features are embargoed?

his winks are bitlocker encrypted, signed by Microsoft Root Sha256 with page hashes. Albert's got the seal of MS approval.

 

[MCD]

Now you are getting all serious mode on me.

Look, whatever the silly embargo is, there are plenty of known features detailed out there and Albert is even right up there answering questions about specific hardware questions so yeah, excuse me for not believing the embargo excuse.

 

[FordGTGuy]

An already announced feature being re-embargoed? What other features are embargoed?

Basically everything on the system-level.

 

[The Flash]

Are there going to be BF4 XB1 reviews? Surely there will be since Second Assault is launching on Friday.

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

This Year has been like this:

 

[gossi]

Has anybody tried the Twitch integration on PS4? It has some, uhm, issues.

 

[TonkuySlon]

They confirmed a while ago it would be a new, separate app. The current Smartglass app will remain 360 only.

As for the person asking the question, yes it will be available for Windows 8, WP8, Android, and iOS.

Thank you...should probably hit pretty soon, hopefully a day or so early like the PS app..

Albert, when can we expect the new app?

 

[Marvel]

This Year has been like this:

Got a giggle from me.

 

[Marleyman]

Now you are getting all serious mode on me.

You are the one acting as if you know what you are talking about with an embargo; not me.

 

[DR3AM]

anyone else doing pre-orders? cosco just cancelled mine

 

[Dai101]

This Year has been like this:

i laughed, LOUD

 

[FordGTGuy]

anyone else doing pre-orders? cosco just cancelled mine

Huh?

Why did they cancel it?

 

[MCD]

You are the one acting as if you know what you are talking about with an embargo; not me.

Oh I don't know the details, for sure. I just believed it shouldn't be any different when they showed Twitch right from day one.

 

[Tashi]

This Year has been like this:

That pool needs a shocking lol

 

[cripterion]

Actually the built-in HD Calibration tool is awesome. Doesn't replace a Spyder or ISF calibration, but it's a great tool for the average customer to get their set in shape.

Albert, can you tell us if we get a tv mount for Kinect out of the box?

 

[DR3AM]

Huh?

Why did they cancel it?

I don't know, it was the extra controller and xbox live bundle. so mad right now.

 

[Mrbob]

System isn't out till friday. We will get the info before release.

Edit: Yeah a TV mount would be good.

What is wingman support? Guided tutorial videos you can snap beside your game through their app?

 

[FrankT]

For good times.

We have an industry insider here folks. Seriously after next week can we all just calm down?

 

[VE3TRO]

Mine got cancelled but not by Cosco. I don't know where I'm going to get it now.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Oh I don't know the details, for sure. I just believed it shouldn't be any different when they showed Twitch right from day one.

They've shown a lot of things including the UI which BTW is currently under a embargo and Gamespot and other outlets aren't allowed to even show Kinect or and of the UI right now.

 

[José Mourinho]

Just found out when my

Spoiler

amazing white "I Made This"

console arrives.


So pumped. MAXIMUM PSi.

I want that all over my face. Really love the white controller.

 

[MThanded]

This Year has been like this:

I don't have a horse in this race but this couldn't be further from the truth unless you live in some altered reality.

I haven't gotten my xbox one yet, but if we are going to make a gif off of the PR, and this past year this is the oddest and most inaccurate gif in the world.

Microsoft Stores will have extra Xbox Ones on Friday: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-stores-will-have-extra-xbox-ones-on-friday/1100-6416240/

 

[Thebonehead]

Any word on digital pricing? ( My six month old labrador has an affinity to chewing xbox game discs )

Just checked Amazon (.co.uk) with the MS Store pricing and it's cheaper by 11 -17% so hopefully there will be something to sweeten the deal.
