Blue Kitty:
So far, to me at least, it seems like they shot themselves in the foot.

K1dmor:
 I'm with Blue Kitty on this one. I watched the stream and i can't believe it.

・No backwards compatibility (Live, disc or anything).
・Plays used games if you pay again a fee:
  -- The game is linked to you Live Account, that means that you have to be connected so the console detects if the game is registered, to register again or to pay.

・No gameplay footage on the presentation.
・Call Of Duty : Ghosts. The engine didn't improve, almost anything. The faces looks plain and the eyes are static (even in the CGI!).

 The controller of the 360 is confy; they mantain the same design but integrate the battery inside it. That's a +1.
・ Kinect:
 ---Not a huge fan of it, but the 2.0 looks promising. 1080p, 60º larger field, accurate skeleton mapping, up to six people can be on screen at once; the rest (voice recognition, IR, etc) are not somethin new, but they're upgraded.
 I hope the modding and homebrew community can make awesome things with it.

・ The TV functions:
 -- Only available for US (at least the first couple months after release).
 -- You NEED to buy a separate device that it's selled apart the console. Then you plug the Cable TV on it, and from there a HDMI output in the console.

 The system is built to work even if your internet connection goes down, but you still have to be connected at least once a day to use it, according to Phil Harrison (Microsoft vice president)

mtmerrick:


That is all

Masterpiece:
loooool

Parkour Lewis:
At first I wanted to balk at the used games bit, but really that's just a harbinger of the obsolescence of physical media.  I imagine they're probably going to start pressing pretty hard on digital distribution, hopefully to the point that you can digitally buy a new title on release day.  I hate the pricks at brick and mortar stores so I haven't been in one in years myself, and don't really care if they go the way of the dodo.  I have Amazon for all of that.  The only thing I worry about is how rental companies will swing it.  Most of the games I play these days come from Gamefly, unless it's just something I really want to have on release day, which isn't often.
