Unless their cheapest headset comes with the console or is sub £15 I think this is a bad move.

It also aims to be a pvr, my sky+ box has a terabyte hard drive so, yes MS have really thought this one out.
They said the USB3 port should work with standard external drives although I can't find the quote at the momentIn the external hdd issue, has it been confirmed that any external drive or pen drive will work with xbox1? Considering how closed ms is making the new xbox i would be surprised if you didn't have to buy offical drives at ms prices, 360 hdd any one?

I just hope an adaptor is released so I can use my existing headset to talk to friends. Or I could just get a PS4 which does have a normal stereo headset jack.
That would defeat the entire purpose of a proprietary connector, so no, that won't happen. MS would shut down anyone who released such an adapter.
On the other hand, the proprietary format could offer significant improvements to the chat audio experience. The new data port reportedly supports stereo audio, potentially for the purpose of delivering game audio directly from the controller or simply boosting mono chat audio in the current-gen to stereo. In the case of the latter, stereo chat audio could lead to virtualized directional communications, allowing players to hear where a nearby player is speaking from — a feature currently found in PC titles like ARMA 2.
Why not? They let you use any external on the 360.
So you don't have a clue why it's been implemented then, and rather than finding out, make up rubbish.
Ah well at least you're in good standing with most of this thread.
On top of that, it's not like they can stop people making adapters.
So it's hardly a chnage for chnage sake, it's adds a much more powerful and relism features.
Thought you guys wanted cutting edge stuff? Or maybe not then.
Lol it doesn't say a stereo connector for speakers.
It's also not what MS has said, as MS hasn't said a lot. It's what people in the field are suggesting its use to be.
Like the rest of it we will have to wait for e3 for ful details.
And way to take stuff out of context![]()
Imagine the embarrassment of touching the penis of your team mate but going for the wrong one, I can see this being invaluable in games like COD, especially if you want to avoid bestiality in the new one...Why would anybody need stereo voice chat? It's a useless feature in virtually every game I can think of.
