If I ever end up getting this I'd just hook the stupid Kinect up and leave it in my AV cabinet.

hopefully that'll be an option, but with everybody forced into having one i'm sure Microsoft is going to eventually force developers into making it needed for games

problem is the Kinect is what turns it on, off, switches and moves stuff.

What i read is the Xbox One is always on, but in a super sleep mode where its not consuming mass amounts of energy. Then you say xbx on, xbx tv etc.. and it comes on. They want you to use it.

So no more power button for on and off, its always on just in sleep.

But E3 will tell us a lot more.

I see this as a troubleshooting nightmare for the not so gifted.

1. used game fee

2. Kinect required

3. needing to connect with the internet every day

4. screwing with achievements

then somewhere further down is not being able to play my old games on it

Even with all the issues - are you still planning on buying it?

Who here - who is unhappy with most of these changes- is still planning on buying it?

[MrYac]

as of right now I am actually leaning more towards a PS4, and I hate thinking that I might need to get a PS4, that's how bad all this sounds to me

The Kinect is so stupid. Everyone I know hates the damn thing. That's a deal breaker for me.

[Hellboy]

Nothing I've read makes me want to get this and I hate PS gaming so for me, as is, I'll be getting neither. Hopefully some of these things change.

[MrYac]

exactly HB, as it stands now there is nothing I like about this system, and that is a disappointing thing to walk away from the conference feeling

Why is that?
