that senior designer fella must own a great design software, the 6 square sides are amazing.

Is it just me or the the Xbox One looks like an old VCR?

[RickyBobby]

I KNEW THAT! When I got my first xbox 360, I bought a rechargable AA Battery pack. That was 5 years ago and those two batteries still work perfect after all this time.

[MouseKeyboardPlayer]

Nice VHS, it got the redesigned glossy effect and an XBOX logo and a chrome opening for my tapes, love it!

[wingon]

SSD is definitely a must have for gaming, you're right. They should really do an option to have one like you suggested!

[TheCartographer]

I'd love to see some of concept controllers that weren't chosen as the official Xbox One control available for purchase later down the line. That's if they're comfortable in the hands and well designed. I guess I'd just like greater options in choosing a controller and it looks as if the Industrial Designers have made a whole bunch of them; I'd hate to see the designs collect dust somewhere and think I'd be mighty cool to see a wide variety of slightly different controllers available for sale...

[Frappelychee]

All I'm wanting to know for now is if the controllers have backlit buttons, how mics will connect, chatpad, how controllers are recharged, etc =)

Xbox has forza 2, 3, 4, It has halo 3, odst, reach, 4. The gears of war series is also exclusive including gears 1-Judgement. It has the exclusive content such as early access to content and sometimes exclusive content to games from Bethesda. It also has a slew of arcade only titles such as Trials and Trials 2. Whats your point that consoles have exclusive games? Give this man medal.

[umbracristallis]

why is everyone hating on this so much? i understand that they haven't been talking about games or anything on this console but isn't it obvious they're waiting for E3? he said at the beginning that it was meant to be a very different console than any they have made so far, just give it a damn chance, it may impress you

[xXBGLionsXx]

i have owned a 360 for a long time and i have always liked that it was more geared to the gamer, i wish that they focused more on the game aspect instead of the entertainment aspect on this one.

[RickSaiz]

2:18 for 2 different consoles cut in half and welded together as one.

The XBOX ONE WATCHES and LISTENS to you 24/7, You must have your xbox plugged in at least once a day and you cannot disconnect your Kinect from you xbox. BIG BROTHER

[KingRhiyo]

With 15 exclusives in one year, it is more of a gaming machine than ever.

[brendanwernisch]

Actually, if you watched E3, you would have seen how rude they were about some topics. Such as the "always online" connection that is in the new xbox. Some people in the world don't have amazing internet connections for gaming, for example, people in the armed forces or people on a budget. When Microsoft was asked what about those people, they replied with "That's why we have this great thing called the xbox 360." They completely dissed their consumers.

[Walt_Xander]

How did you "expose" me? I HAD an intention of buying an X1 after watching the Reveal, giving it the benefit of the doubt, waiting until E3. I stuck with Microsoft for 8 years, paying for online wasn't a problem. But after I looked up some info about the X1, things that weren't said such as the pre-owned fees, that crossed the line.
Come on, paying for a fee just because I want to save money by getting a used game? No. They've lost my support when they decided fees were a good thing.

[vinniesin]

give it a chance! i actually think it looks really slick. it not a weird ass shape so it could probably fit anywhere. the controller look a lot better than the 360s and the console does pretty much everything! so wtf stop judging by an outward appearance and wait till it comes out to critique.

[DoubleDogtags]

Xbox one haters. Why are you even watching this. Xbox and ps4 are both great systems. I've had the Xbox since it came out. And it still works. It's 7 or 8 years old.

[xxCBxx]

"More of an entertainment box" that's what I personally don't want it to be. 100% gaming focus

[wingon]

8 gigs its more than enough for PC gaming. No game will make you require 16 gigs atm. You only need more if you're doing video editing / animations / etc, or if you're running multiple, intensive games at the same time.

[TBOvids]

Gaming is a form of entertainment. When he said "Entertainment box" it includes gaming and all other forms of entertainment. As long as the XBox can play games why are people still complaining?
