**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

It's a polished gaming HTPC without the freedom to customise it to your own liking.
I've seen various technologies merge over the years and this is a logical progression, but it does still sadden me that the days of simply pressing start and immersing yourself into a game without all the distractions of life surrounding you is going the way of the dinosaur.

I know what you mean. I want to hermit in my room, curtains closed and play a game for hours straight. I know you can technically still do this but it doesn't feel the same having to navigate the guff to start the game :(.

Nostalgia really does make people blind.

Pretty sure you'll be able to put a disc in and play a game on the Xbox much faster than the previous generation, simply because it is more powerful. The startup speed should be very impressive.

It should autoplay too, assuming that is an option as usual. So I don't what 'guff' you're referring to really.
 
The games industry needs to be adult. not porn. but adult.. its surely more exciting that way?
look at Robocop? Paul Verhoeven - he didn't ask the kids first. and that's what I thought the Xbox was all about - not Nintendo, downfall 1993 onwards
 
I'm surprised people think it's ugly. I wouldn't call it beautiful, but it's inconspicuous enough. I kinda think that's deliberate, that it's meant to blend in under your TV rather than stand out. Seems to be large enough and flat enough that the sky box con go on top without any worries.

That's the fan intake/exhaust, wouldn't be a good idea to cover that up.
 
Why would someone enjoying a guy acting make you worry about the world?

The push on technology gave them a platform. I don't worry about the world, just it's proving how bizarre and stupid so much of this kind of stuff is about nowadays.
 
Well I've only just seen the new Xbox One, and i gotta say it looks terrible, as somebody mentioned it looks like an old CD player from the late 80's.
