In case anyone cares, Xbox One will no longer need Kinect to function.

Better late then never I suppose, for those who were bothered by it. Especially with its previously creepy 'always on and can watch you during the night' rumor.

well. it does change things, but I don't think it'll be for the better. like this poster says:

"...anything with an HDMI output can be routed through the Xbox One and pinned to the screen. This includes Blu-Ray players, TIVO, and--yes--even the PlayStation 4."

So you can connect an HDMI cord into the Xbox One from a PS4's output? So you have to OWN a PS4 in order to play its games on the Xbox One? Why not just play the games on the PS4? And why hook up a Blu-ray player to the Xbox One when it already plays blu-rays??? It's absolutely silly! The only real use it has is that it provides a awkward backwards compatibility to it. But if I have a PS4, I want to play my games through that! This is yet another function of the Xbox One that instead of complimenting all of the devices in my living room, butts its head in and makes its presence more and more unnecessarily complicated with useless functions.

Well, the next comment after that rebuttles that statement. It's a matter of convenience. I just find it kind of neat of the potential for someone to play a Wii U / PS4 game at the same time someone else plays an Xbox One. Granted, the person does have a point with the audio, however that decides to work.

So as we know, the consoles come out this month.

Who's getting an Xbox One at-oh who I am kidding no one on this forum is.


While the issues are nowhere near as big as before, Xbox One is now having a bunch of little things irking me. The biggest one is probably the fact that you have to download a patch or something of the sort to just play games. Like what the hell... ? Are you even trying, Microsoft?

Also, a little thing that bothers me is that Xbone games have discs on the left side... which I don't like. Don't see the logic either. Have games on the part that moves.

I think Microsoft kind of ... lost it a little with this console it seems a whole lot less console game focussed and more "PRIVACY INVASION AND RANDOM HD PORTS". Also seems like the patches to play games is that perhaps to deter or prevent piracy maybe?

Well, sales have been successful for the system so far. And some of you doubted me that Microsoft still has tons of brand devotees. xP;; Like Finite's dad.

Granted, I actually want to know someone's opinion of the system. Nothing bad about it so far from reviews. Though Kotaku posted a guide on how to get the most out of the Xbone... and almost all of it have nothing to do with gaming itself.

Well, my dad won't be getting one quite yet. Nothing that he would really want for it at the moment.

A guy in my work took a day off work to go pick one up on Friday and has said it is a fantastic console so far. But he isn't a die hard console fanatic or anything like that he just wanted a shot of it before he gave it to his son as a Christmas gift. XD

I've heard a lot of different problems with the system including the faulty disk drive but I really doubt it's a widespread problem. Just the internet blowing a small thing up into something it's not. Just like with the PS4 and Wii U.
