***official*** all things Microsoft Xbox One (1 Viewer)

I'm a big PS guy, but this looks interesting. Really pushing the entertainment hub concept, and it looks pretty nice. Really impressed.

 
The EA Sports demos are so canned. No real gameplay footage. Looks a lot like their demos for the 360 9 years ago.

 
Xbox One wants to be immersive, personal (with smart recommendations), and social. The Studios are going to use the immersive capabilities to do new stuff with comedy, drama, sports, and all the rest of the stuff you watch on TV. It's starting with Halo.

343 Studios announced a new live-action HALO TV show created by Steven Speilberg. This will be a premium show, on par with Game of Thrones.

This could be big.

Announcing partnership with NFL. Exclusive. Making fantasy football easier in snap screen. This has the potential to be awesome.

Do we really want Steven Speilberg to be associated with games again? (ET)

 
How does the TV thing work? Do you hook your cable box up to it? Is Xbox now a cable company too? Does it only work with local OTA networks?

Meh. Don't know why I should care about that.

Games? No. A quality TV show? YUP.

Didn't look like anything special to me. Just more "better with Kinect" type stuff. Pull up your fantasy stats (live updates...probably only if you play fantasy on nfl.com), call your friends on skype to taunt them, etc.

My understanding is that it will work as a cable set top box in conjuction with your current cable company. I'm sure many features won't be available from some cable companies.

 
NFL on XboX One should include customizable NFL RedZone for your fantasy team.

waiting on confirmation of this.

 
Love how they said the Call of Duty footage was from actual "gameplay". Looked like a trailer to me. No gameplay to be found.

Not sure they could have done much better, as far as the presentation goes.

Yep. Kept it short and simple, focused on the actual console with a few things sprinkled in. We'll get a lot more info on exclusives/gameplay at E3.

 
I would pay a significant sum of money for just the non-gaming cable box replacement that this will (or looks to) be.

Thoughts on price? I say it's going to be no lower than $399. If they come in any lower, Sony is SCREWED.

Rumor is $300 with a two year XBox Live contract (which will now be around $20 a month) and $500 up front. But this was the rumor that was "leaked" a couple of weeks ago.

$20 a month? That seems unlikely.

That was what many thought when they upped the price before, but the sheep paid it anyway. I did read that some sources speculated $15/month. But a huge price hike is expected.

Impressive. The close alignment with EA is a pain but everything else looks good. Christmas is going to be an all out war between Sony and Microsoft. 15 exclusives including 8 new ip is really awesome in the first year. 300,000 servers is crazy awesome.

Nothing like comparing a currently unmade show to the best TV show of the past decade...I'm sure those huge expectations will certainly be met :mellow:

The XBox One will still restrict the playing of used games. They will be tied to one account and you'll have to pay to unlock the ability to play them on another account. Microsoft is really going out of their way to ensure I don't buy the next XBox.

It sounds like that means you might be able to play games without the disc in the drive? My lazy ### would be disproportionately happy about that.

When? From xbox to xbox 360? I didn't own an original xbox so I don't know how much it used to be.

I buy my membership when the xbl cards go on sale for what amounts to $3 a month. Normal price is like $5 a month. Raising to $20 a month would be insane.

The higher price is for those that buy the subsidized console and sign up for the contract at the monthly fee. It wouldn't affect the people that buy the annual pass (which is probably everyone here).

XBL actually costs $15/month already if you pay by the month. It's just that an annual membership costs $60 (and most people usually pay around $40 for it).

What is it now? $59 a year at most (and I see WalMart selling it for $49). This is hardly a price to call people buying it "sheep". Decent value for 50 / 60 bucks.

I do not see this tripling in price for the new one.

Yes, but that kills being able to rent games or loaning and borrowing from friends. I don't buy used, but those other things I do all the time.
