**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

[jonneymendoza]

Why close the e3 thread? Doesn't it have a day left?

bizare as the e3 thread on pc section is still open

 

[jonneymendoza]

All the discussion was just regarding the consoles and not the actual event, seemed pointless having four threads with the same content.

Then clean up the thread and warn people?

Ask nicely and maybe I'll reopen it.

MS have already stated the Kinect settings can be changed so it isnt listening for "Xbox on".

From what i've read, you can have total control on what Kinect is watching\listening for, just by turning it off.

The Kinect issue is a non-factor in my opinion.

If it is such a non factor and can be completely shut off then why the hell are they forcing us to have it thereby increasing the cost of the console.

Pretty please Andybtsn?

Tiny bit of in-game footage of Forza. Looks beautiful.

Umm wasnt google and Facebook and a whole manner of online companies listed in that?

Got an Androind phone in your pocket, use a Chrome browser, how you think Google makes their money?

Yeah, that's why none of them will be selling me an encrypted box with a camera to point into my living room.

We get it, you are not buying one. Yet here you are day by day on the Xbox thread.....puzzling.

What's the situation with backwards compatibility with 360 games? As I understand, they won't work?

I've got a few games I've bought from the store, on-demand, will they work still? And physical disc copies not?

It's not a deal breaker but would be nice to have access to those digital copies still

No games that run on 360 will run on Xbone.

Because Kinect will be used in many different ways throughout the life of Xbox One. Easier to get developers to buy into all the Kinect stuff if every Xbox One owner has one.

I guarantee the PS4 camera will soon be forgotten and only a handful of games will incorporate it.

Xbone sounds and looks more and more like the Betamax every day.

I didn't get a PS3 this gen, so I'm by no means biased. But PS4 is defintely the way forward. I suspect come Xmas supplies of PS4s are going to be limited if Xbox users start buying it in droves.

Let's face it, e3 was all about the consoles.

Dissapointed its been closed

Cleaning up threads like that and keeping it on topic is a big ask for Andy and the other mods. Keeping it on point would involve threatening people with suspensions for going off topic and too many people would do that.

Preordered Xbox one via Microsoft

What do people think of the new Xbox 360? Slimmer and quieter than the slim?

Me too! Did it through the dashboard on the 360 earlier .

I personally thought 24 hrs is a bot short. Why not make it a week?

A lot of gamers could finish a game easily within a week...

MS were confident that we would except DRM, whether Sony were planning to do the same until the 11th hour who know's. But it points more towards the deal made with EA, who are now saying that they support used games, hmmm

Crazy Buttocks on a Train leaked that originally the plan was for it to check every 3 minutes. CBoaT is an insider that posts on NeoGAF who over the last decade is like 95% accurate.
