You alright posting the trailer? Cm and some gameplay vids can't get it to work on my phone, manly hands syndrome
The hardware's very good considering it'll probably be available for a really decent price.
When it first comes out it'll be top draw for 6 months to a year then be left behind again, as always happens with consoles.
Though the switch to an x86 architecture and the increased core count is only good for PC gamers cause at least the consoles will have more in common with a standard PC so the ports should be better optimised. Much like the PS4. Never know, might see Intel release a mainstream 8 core processor too!
It's well overdue, really. The 360/PS3 are just holding developers back now, I've seen that mentioned several times with recent/upcoming games.

I watched the online announcement. It looks like they are trying to consolidate the whole entertainment system concept with exclusives from ESPN, Spielberg and EA. I think this is a pretty effective solution to be honest if that's what you're after but I begrudge having 70 - 100 quid bundled in at launch for their Connect and the associated user interface.
It seems the core gamer market is being diluted by social networking, television and sports, which while kind of neat, isn't what everybody is after and feels like an effort to justify their inclusion in our living rooms. If I wanted to buy a console I would want it to be optimised for gaming and for all of their R and D to be focussed on this end. Sadly i think those days are behind us, so I guess you have to make do with the whole linked-in, always on user experience.
The ONLY thing that appealed to me was the (strange CGI/live action) trailer from Remedy studios (Max Payne and one of my favourite games Alan Wake.) This looks really interesting and there's a high chance ill follow wherever this company chooses to go creatively.
End opinion - nope not buying one.

Hmm. I mean, everyone has highlighted the ****ness already, but I have to say - I do like idea of waving/talking/interacting with my telly. I'm the kinda guy who likes technology 'for the sake of it'. Anything that looks like it came from the future (from the viewpoint of a 10yr old me) is right up my street.
Can I throw all my common sense out the window and waste cash on this just for the hell of it? Possibly.
I really hope I become a gazillionaire because I think my house is going to resemble HAL.

Resale charge on Xbox live for games. So if I come home and play a game my flatmate has bought, unless I wana play as him I have to pay Microsoft. What an absolute fail. One of the console's main strengths was that I could swap/return games: they've kind of turned a console into a second rate media PC.
Thy I haven't looked at the links but Ive always been a ps guy. Microsoft is for pcs IMO. Most of the stuff I have heard people say about it In This thread you can get from a decent tv now, talking and waving at it to do stuff. I have noticed as soon as they saw the success of wii they all decided to give it ago and apart from the .5-1 hour of using my uncles kinect I haven't ever missed it.
I read that the new consoles will be UHDTV ( 4k x 2k resolution or something) compatible so that would be good for pcs I suppose.
