A New Generation of Xbox LIVE

The all-new generation of Xbox Live is more powerful, more personal and more intelligent. It makes everything more convenient and accessible, from allowing games to be installed in segments so that gameplay can start quickly, to updates downloading in the background.

In addition, existing Xbox Live Gold Membership for Xbox 360 will seamlessly carry over to Xbox One. Xbox Live takes you deeper into the games you love with all-new features.

• Smart Match. A new Smart Match matchmaking system virtually eliminates waiting in lobbies by estimating wait times and finding people you want to play with.
• Game DVR. A dedicated Game DVR captures and accesses your gameplay, all saved to the cloud, so you can share your best gaming moments with your friends.
• Living Games. Dynamic, living worlds evolve and improve the more you play, and advanced artificial intelligence can learn to play like you, so friends can play against your shadow.
• Expanded achievements. A new and expanded achievements system captures video of your epic moments and rewards you in new ways, and your Gamerscore carries over from Xbox 360.
• Xbox SmartGlass. Xbox SmartGlass is part of the Xbox One platform, so it can render content directly onto your device. Now more devices can connect at one time for multiplayer and shared entertainment.

Can't you use these without the stupid EyeToy? Or are MS forcing people to buy it because they can? I forget.

You're forced to buy it but you can disconnect it. If they made it optional and dropped the core price a good £60 I'd be tempted. No chance at the current price.

the kinect is basically free now. Just pretend it's a non kinect console. Kinect doesn't really do anything anyway from my 3 months with the unit.
 
i like the idea of kinect but ultimately the games arent there yet to make it a serious benefit.

perhaps the future will bring some changes.
 
MS need to get this cheaper than the PS4. The average mum buying a present for Tommy cares not for the spec just that it is the cheapest next gen console. PS4 has done so well simply because it is cheaper....
 
Its great that its cheaper, I just am not in love with this generation of console....there just so far behind pcs in terms of performance and power :(

They are unified so will get better and have exclusives. Killzone on PS4 is stunning and quite amazing for what the hardware is.

Yeah I get that its easy to build for since its a set hardware unlike pcs. If there is an exclusive I want I am sure ill end up getting one.
 
I would buy a XB1 but thats only because I want to play Forza and Im not paying £400 to play one game!

If I was gonna buy a new gen console then I will get it second hand because they cost to much and I refuse to give microsoft anymore money than I have to due to their launch policies.
 
I still think they're being utterly idiotic to stick with this obligatory kinect thing. I understand the thinking behind it, if it's something all users have anyway, developers won't be as squeamish to incorporate it into games because it won't be an expensive extra requirement putting gamers off and it also means they can develop for it whole heartedly rather than half arsed. Then it could mean MS have something to make even cross platform releases distinctly different on xbox than PS4 which could prove to be a conclusive edge.

Problem is the kinect already had a bad reputation because of how terrible the first one was and despite what MS claim, a lot of users are saying the new one is every bit as bad, inaccurate and clumsy.

As this point I think they either need to lose the kinect to make the console even cheaper or if they still insist on keeping it, accept a loss on the console to get user base up and try and recoup money elsewhere. It's a nice deal and quite tempting but it still comes back to that price.
 
You don't want to talk to your screen... You don't want to wave your arms around... That's why kinect fails.
Although I am tempted to buy a console to play gta v seeing as rockstar is not interested In PC gaming money.
 
Well from the reviews from owners I know I won't be touching this at all. PS4 owners seem very happy but the XBOX One owners I know all seem a bit regretful.

I know people that either don't connect the kinect (no mic or camera) or connect it and face it to the wall (block camera).
