**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Kotaku just posted that the XBOX ONE will require an internet connection at least once every 24 hours.
This will upset quite a lot of people, i really hope they bring some big exclusives at E3 to counter this.

Ugly and shame it's got blue ray, ditch physical media and save on the cost, boost the hard drive capacity.

Other than that, seems pretty much like I wanted a hassle free gaming win8 HTPC.

Any ideas on price and release date?

Not cool :( I know people mock Apple events and such, but at least the inexplicable cheers claps and hoots are from press and tech folk, not paid employees!

LOL :)

This always on/on once a day connectivity doesn't bother me. It would if I lived in a country with crap internet, but I suspect a £400 console would not be on my list of priorities if living in such a place!

Why not just call it an Xbox? Xbox One - eh? Too many cooks
Hoping for Virtual Reality support and an Intel Processor.

Awful, never been so disappointed.
Lets hope for Halo. on an out of date processor
 
Just have to wait and see how things play out, no point assuming just yet. Lots more info to come so at this time its nothing really to get excited about.

Any idea of it will include or exclude the kinect? If that includes kinect that's not a bad price at all, if it excludes kinect, then It's expensive.
Although the retailer leaks aren't always reliable.

i am fairly sure it was mentioned that the console comes with Kinect (there may be other SKUs but all will have Kinect). Also some sites mention that the console won't even work if Kinect is not plugged in, but I reckon that will not be the case.

Kinect? who cares. we want to play games not exercise or make the room look pretty.

The virtual reality kit should be the new xbox
 
it is donkeys years too early to ditch physical media and anyone who thinks otherwise is daft. Lot's of the world now has 100mb internet connections and faster, a lot, but in the grand scheme of things huge huge portions of the western world have crap internet, lots of people with good internet have it heavily capped(though MS/sony/whoever could arrange with countries for isp's to unlimit game downloads from their servers, won't change the time taken though).

I doubt if there was a next generation in 7 years that it would be a good idea to go without physical media, though at that stage maybe making it an external optional device would be a start for a move to online only delivery.
 
I just cant believe it. Basically Microsoft have delivered a family fun machine.
Id rather an adult one, then work backwards. Nintendo N64 1995 all over

And when the servers fall over and die like Simcity servers, still won't bother you then? or years on, feel like going back and playing a classic and the servers are gone, still all good?

It's not even close to being ready. VR on console is something for the future.

Kinect is an entirely reasonable proposition, and hopefully will make Sony decide to put the new Eye into every PS4 box too.

And it doesn't mean exercise/mini games. It's voice activation, gestures for convenience when doing normal stuff. It's a very welcome addition. Nobody will force you to prance about.

I kind of think an Adult fun machine is a PC, Shuffle.

In all honesty the specs from both sides this gen have left me scratching my head and leaving me feeling lack lustered.
 
prance about? we are talking about a games console here. I do not wish to prance or dance in front of a machine. I want a very powerful computer to play the very best video games.
