XBOX ONE informational links

I pulled these links out of this discussion : www.2old2play.com/forum/talk-back/topic/xbox-one-unveiled-may-21-504273?...     to make it easier for people to find just information without all the blah blah blah.  Please continue to discuss in that other thread, not here.

Link below has video fo hands on demo of how the new Kinect works.  Really cool stuff, great technology.  Will be interesting to see what kind of games come out using the skeleton, block man, and muscle man options.  Tank has the IGN one above, I just like gizmodo's better :)

that speculation is annoying because it's obviously wrong but it's going to make people freak out.  Nothing like fake news to incite the masses.

If Pachter is right - or if the XB1 goes lower or with the subsidized model - I can see myself getting the XB1 for the holidays, and the PS4 sometime around summer 2014.

I think Microsoft would kill it if they dropped a 199 substidized ONE with a $15/month 2yr contract.  Total cost of ownership would be like 550 on that system and would give people a significantly lower out of pocket initial expense.  IT's all win for them, I can't see why they wouldn't do it.

Yes, the $15/month would be for live

I think it's way more likely that we'd see $400 for the XB1 AND a recurring charge for LIVE and whatever other services are coming. Perhaps even tiers of LIVE service...

I'm new to the site. "Hi". Nice mudflap boobs.

And I don't hate fun. I just find it more practical to admit that this November is going to be expensive than to hope I'll get something I want for cheap. 

There will be no disappointment, weeping, and gnashing of teeth when the pricing comes out "waahahaha I'm going to PS4 to save $50"

OR... if I'm wrong (won't be) and it is cheaper, then I'll have saved extra money to spend on something else.

Win/win.

Spike TV is the official broadcast partner for E3, and while it will show Microsoft's and EA's conferences they won't be showing Sony's at all.  Instead of showing Sony's E3 conference, they're going to show Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

 

People didn't believe me that Sony shouldn't have announced in February so early, and that Microsoft's timing around E3 was an advantage.  Looks like Microsoft is doing what they can to increase that advantage by simply cutting Sony out of viewers picture.

Sony always does theirs at like 9PM Eastern, because they pander to Japan.  That's Sony's fault, no one else's

Also, an extra, actually informational, link because the quoted post didn't have one and was probably meant for a different thread

Seems there might be yield issues that could lead to lower performance on Xbox One.

Thanks for posting. Funny stuff indeed and actually probably  not so far off the mark. BTW...I actually understood your very informational comment was tongue in cheek :)
