Okay, so that's for installing only? Logistically that should be interesting to say the least. I wonder if hard drive installs would significantly improve load times and performance with the next generation.

My conclusion is that the next Xbox is built for people with the attention span of a goldfish. Seriously, who games and watch a film and listen to music and go in the internet and skype at once?
When I game I GAME. If I want to watch a film I don't want to talk to my friends.
Who else found the people cheering jarring?

When I heard the name I thought REALLY? Is this guy trolling? The 3rd Xbox is called Xbox One..... Infinity/just Xbox would have been soo much better.
It should be called Xbox: Frat.

I don't see what's so bad about it. Better than calling it 720 or whatever else the rumors were. The "One" bit actually makes sense in a way - they seem to be alluding to the fact that its one ecosystem. One console for all entertainment. One ring to rule them.. oh...Jmp_man said:
EDIT: Also, to people freaking out about installing the game and lending it out to people. They haven't yet said that you HAVE to install to play and that you couldn't just play from disc. Wait for more details first.
That's what I'm assuming it's supposed to mean. A play on the phrase "all-in-one".Midniqht said:
Xbox One? Oh MS, with your odd naming convention and Kinect focus, I think your just too cool for me.
Nope, read and more importantly comprehended along with additional information that came out today. Let me walk you through this:arc1991 said:You get given the option to pay a fee to install it, option being you don't have to, meaning you can probably play it from the hard disk.tangoprime said:arc1991 said:Obviously, if you look on page 2 there are some specs, with quite a large HDD driveDonzacuceron said:
Well they need a large HDD, because you have to install all of the games and tie them to your account, afterwhich the disc is useless. Also, don't expect to be able to install preowned / borrowed games without an undetermined fee.
Am i the only one who read articles?...-.-
1. All games are installed to the HD in order to play.
(http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/21/4352314/xbox-one-hard-drive-game-installs)
2. All games installed to harddrive are associated with an XBL account.
3. Attempting to install a game already associated with a different XBL account results in a fee. See 1.
Thus, you will not be able to play games that have already had a previous owner without paying a fee, since you need to install it in order to play it, and it will have already been associated with a different account.

looks like a 10 year old vcr.
Terrible design, terrible name terrible controller,
and yes I've used those reverse-angle controllers before for rc's and they're horrible, the shape is all wrong
so, then I shall add this to the collection of things I wont be buying this generation.
They created an obviously anti-consumer corporate friendly product, and now they're gonna try to advertize it as something that we should all buy. Like it's the ultimate entertainment system. Not to mention that the mandatory Kinect breaks every privacy law in Europe and beyond. Maybe even in the US, but that doesn't matter since the judiciary system over there is a joke and corporations can get away with anything.Genocidicles said:
Yeah... I remember a time when game consoles were used to play games, not do everything that PCs can do, but not as well. Since when did navigating menus become so cumbersome? I don't want to talk to my console like a mad man, and I don't want to accidentally turn it on.
I also don't care about the TV or social media components, I have a cable box and a laptop for that. Also, even though this is shallow. I hate the look of it. Everything about this leads me to the conclusion that it'd be a better investment to buy a gaming rig. I certainly won't be buying this console, assuming everything that has been stated in terms of the console being anti-used games is true. It's like Microsoft wants to fail when the major game announcements were EA sports games that we already knew were coming out. Gee, I wonder if the next COD will be on the Xbox One (awful name), as well as the next 10. I honestly thought the name Xbox Infinity was pretty awesome, although naming it that would kind of put Microsoft in a corner, but it's a hell of a lot better than Xbox One (which is what I've been calling the original Xbox since the 360 came out).

while Sony nailed their reveal, MS was disappointing so much fluff and uninteresting stuff i barely made through an hour it took without turning it off.
I went into this really skeptical--I looked up a lot of different things on it--and it actually seems pretty good.
I appears like you'll be able to have picture-in-picture game and TV.
The Kinect is doing some amazing things--we'll have to see how it gets used though.
MS confirmed that it wouldn't be always on.
It looks OK.
The specs are good for a console.
It's supposedly going to automatically install games on the HD, which is nice.

Eh?
I don't get it, Xbox One?
I admit its better than 720 but is that all they had? Sometimes the teams on The Apprentice are a worrying portrayal of real business people.

So our lineup for the next 5ish years is (if I'm hearing this correctly) PS4, Xbox One, and WiiU... Are all the naming departments on strike at these giant electronics corporations or something?
No, Microcock, no. And also no Sony. All I would want from a console is to PLAY. GAMES. When the hell are we going to get a console that just plays games. All I want, is a simple uncomplicated box that does what it's meant to do, and do it well. None of this "social media" crap, no advertisements, just simple plug and play. At this rate I may as well dig out my Megadrive and play that for the entire next generation of consoles.
Any word on the whole "always online thing?" (sorry I don't want to read through 4 pages of comments).
Edit: Wierd name, at least we know what the next next Xbox will be called.
