http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXAkemtQFNA I watched the stream, time i'll never get back. The only games shown were EA sports '14 line up, Forza 5, about 30 seconds of cutscene from a Time travel game (real world FBI kinda thing) and the newest COD. If you want a really cool set top box i recommend it. Some Of the features demoed seemed pretty neato.

Sony stock up 10% since the reveal.
Microsoft could still have an awesome E3 but this was weak sauce for me.

The console itself looks kinda pants. The original 360 has some nice lines and an interesting design, this one is just dull.

I couldn't tell from the article, but would that prevent me from taking a game round my friends to play on their console for example?
No backwards compatibility seems like a terrible move too.

What a tragic waste of title- it would have been so cool to call it the X-box OBX, and pull off an anagram as long as we're making it a silly name. I mean, it is the third system of the name, you shouldn't call it one. Even X-Box Alpha would have been better.
Of course, I personally would have loved an X-box Ox, complete with a horn bearing SE, but I realize that would only really appeal to my peculiar sense of humor.

Yeah, the name is just confusing. Doesn't XBOX One refer to the first XBOX?

You will have to pay for every other console you want to install a game on.

It looked alright overall, though some worrisome parts tbh... The no backwards compat is a shame, but understandable - completely different architecture and all that. The preowned fee... while really annoying, is... kind of understandable and not entirely surprising (a lot of games already have it for online multiplayer.) Depends on just how much it is at the end of the day for my final comment on that. There's things we just don't know yet... and I can't from a solid opinion till then, though everything looks damn shiny so far. And why no mention of Illumiroom! I want Illumiroom dammit!

Not quite. As far as I can tell, so long as you log into your friends xbox with your account, you'll be fine. Lending it to your friends however, won't really work anymore.

Yea I was pretty underwhelmed as well. The only thing that I took from it that I liked, was the new controller looks pretty nice. The Dpad doesnt look like melted plastic, and the joysticks look like they would REALLY grip your thumbs. Other than that, I dont really care. And TBH, Id be surprised if the new kinnect works nearly as well as they demoed it. As a Kinnect owner, Im pretty sour of the whole experience, so yea.

I also own a Kinect, and with several years working on it, and what people can do with a Kinect hooked up to a PC already, it's entirely believable.
At the end of the day, it's going to be months till we get a solid picture of it, the costs and pros and cons, and probably about 6 months after release till we really know the pros and cons.

The problem with the current kinect is the fact it is going through a USB 1.0 port into the existing xbox hardware, which is a massive bottleneck.
I imagine the new kinect is going to be pretty incredible considering what I've seen done on the PC with it.

Ehm, no. It's not tied to account, it's tied to the console.

Actually, everything I've seen has said tied to the account as in: "Individual games will be tied to Xbox Live accounts, Microsoft said," If you can find something explicitly stating otherwise, but till then, I'll go with what little solid info we've got atm.

I have all sorts of stuff for mutimedia, and I don't really care that much about controlling it with Kinect. I'll have more of an opinion when they actually show some games*, which is why I play video games in the first place.
*I imagine that E3 will be were the games are shown.
