Still completely unfussed by this, I'll be honest. The good: It has better hardware and does lots of extra stuff besides games console things (though I honestly wander what the point of that is as televisions already being released can do the same thing as the Xbox 1, meaning that this isn't much of a selling point). Inbuilt Kinect seems nice, but it appears that Microsoft still don't understand the potentially for gameplay augmentation the Kinect has and are instead using it for the usual gimmicky voice command schtick when it could be so. Much. More!
The bad: No backwards compatability. I mean, why, Microsoft? How does that, on any level as a business move, make any sense? The ugly: Locking out/charging for (it still seems up in the air) pre-owned games. I doubt this is going to last due to pressure from retailers like Gamestop, who rely on second-hand game sales as their bread and butter, but the sheer level of contempt that this shows towards customers is not only rather disheartening but also another really rather worrying of the direction this generation of gaming is moving in. I'm reserving judgement on it until it's out, but I won't be pre-ordering and so far I don't feel all that optimistic. |

I’m glad it’s not called Xbox 720. That would have been embarrassing.

Well, Pepsi One was not the first Pepsi to be released.
So maybe the new X-Box only has one calorie?  -------------------- |

After finding out more about the Xbox 1 and seeing gameplay, I'll probably get one eventually. My main concern with it was forcing you to be connected to the internet and destroying the used game market by encoding games to a single user. After a huge negative reaction from fans they've dropped those ideas.
Basically it will now be just like the 360 with awesome graphics. -------------------- He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee. - Friedrich Nietzsche

I think it´s too bad they come up with new consoles all the time, putting the others which are not really old out of market for the game producers who´ll only concentrate on the new console.
Until the next one comes out, three months later  -------------------- Lol bird

Alright guys.
You don't need to be online expect when setting up the console for the first time and you can use used games. BUUUUUUUT! The kinect is still required and always on(always watching)and indie companies can't self publish so no indies games on the XbOne expect Minecraft. So yeah,I'm still getting a PS4 instead. |

The kinect is always on? Yeah, I don't necessarily wanna be watched by strange people in my sleep, so I'll probably end up getting one depending on how many bad or good reviews it gets....

They have a cloud streaming service so they don't need to put backwards compatible devices in the actual console. I think you put your disk in and it will upload to the cloud streaming service. I'm not too sure. |

Must admit, I've been an Xbox fan since it came out. Bought the 360. Twice *red ring of death grumble grumble*
PS4 for me from the look of it now though. If only for the fact that it's cheaper... Damn those bills... |
