I'm interested in all the non gaming stuff, which should be a big part of it. Rumors are that they're signing deals with cable providers so you can use this instead of a cable box.

Give me 10bit h.264/265 video playback support from a network drive and ill buy one

doopstr

Unfortunately I can't have. I see too many kids that do nothing but Xbox when they are awake. My kids will not be joining that club.

except with actual console

GenBox!
or
XGen!

Yupp its why it appeals to me more haha. I'm not a hardcore gamer, i like a few games when i do find the time to play.

And also I love how there's a fios app, so when I do move out I could mooch off my parents and watch FIOS

This is now more of an entertainment console than anything.

Its supposed to be able to overlay over your tv/cable box. Well a rumor at least. Imagine saying xbox change channel to TNT and it does. (kinda doubt it will be able to do that though...)

But this could be the google tv/apple tv we've always wanted?

MarbleGT

That'd be awesome. Im trying to get my dad to buy an xbox just to use it's other features like Netflix, etc. Its a killer package even if you don't play games.

Sarlacc

Except that you have to pay $50 a year for xbox live...garbage.

A appleTV or Roku is a much less expensive alternative and probably has less of a learning curve.

Otherwise...a PS does everything the xbox does from a multimedia standpoint...and doesnt charge you for it.

Sarlacc

Say it does do that.

Then youre sitting there going "fuck...I just said 'xbox change my channel' like a complete jackass and I sound like a dork"

And you'll never use that feature again.

jupitersolo

You will soon say "Apple TV change my channel .... " .....

is the new xbox and ps4 even relevant in today's market?

Undying Dreams

It's in my market

speedemon90

Not when you watch tv alone. I'd probably use those voice actions much more often than on the phone. Only time I've used voice on phone is to set an alarm lol. One great thing about google now is i can type it in, if i dont feel like going to the app or talking. I can type in "set alarm at 8am" which I like.

But TV I forsure can see myself using voice, if it ever happens, and i dont think I'll sound like an ass for the times i'm not alone

Sarlacc

yeah...thats better than "xbox..."

I will be buying the next Xbox so I can continue to support my Forza addiction lol

speedemon90

I doubt this will be released with it, but if it does

this is pretty damn amazing

#1 STUNNA

I could see it being an add-on. If it requires little if any support from the 3rd party developers than it could take off because it would work with pretty much every game out of the box and developers could release an update the enhances it's capabilities with their game.

So when you want to use the Illumiroom you bring out the coffee table and when you want to use Kinect you take the Coffee table away

speedemon90

haha right!

I can't use kinect at my house because we have a coffee table. And its heavy and we dont move.

I've never tried kinect in my living room but yea I opted not to try it for that reason

Nonsense I will have my IllumiRoom ceiling mounted.

Thanks for posting this though speedemon I had not seen this before. I have a Kinect but it doesn't get much use except for Kinect specific games. I could see this being used a lot more.

speedemon90

this would be really awesome if they get it to work properly. My favorite was when they overlay your view and have the soundwaves pass by when you shoot. That was epic!

THat and miss firing bullets going by and leaving the screen, amazing.

Doom878

Just camping out here for replies. I likely won't purchase next gen for years to avoid this gen's similar RRoD/YLOD.

My word! It is ridiculous!

1/2 hour huh. If this integrates with my Surface pro nicely, I may need to get it.

anyone else watching the stream?

New Xbox is called XBox One. Thread title change?

Devil Dog 21

Looks to be a pretty legit system. I'm more interested in the entertainment side of the console than the gaming side.

I watched the stream and I'm in love, though I was watching it more for Forza 5 news more than anything else

8GB ram and FINALLY being Blu-Ray compatible are both huge selling points for me.

Moog-Type-S

nothing earth shattering here.

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

+1 on title change, thank you!

And +1 to Tyler. 8BG of RAM and Blu-Ray

Also, I was forced to watch in SD but I could still see the flake in the orange paint on the McLaren P1 during the Forza 5 trailer.

This system is setting the bar HIGH. I will be purchasing

slvrdrgn123

Give me these two and I'll purchase first day.

Whiskers

Im interested.

Doom878

Very interested. The integration with TV is nice but will it work also with my DirecTV DVR or does it only work with the built in TV changing for antenna. Plus the browser/game/Skype "Snap" combo is really cool where you can multitask.

TSXy Luster

Like it a lot. Don't 100% love it all (games looked like a very minor update). But the event was still a lot better than the Playstation one.

Game Consoles had a good run...now they are doing nothing but competing for best home theater/how to kill the used game market computers under a game console guise.

Nintendo tried...they failed with their horrible implementation.

The last hope is seeing what the Ouya can do.

Otherwise...this is all garbage. boring garbage at that.
