[blastprocessor]

What's he going to do?

 

[Broder Salsa]

What the hell is he going to do with it?

 

[Ein Bear]

Will he use Kinect and Skype to make prank calls in poor taste?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Xboxth?

 

[Silky]

Who?

 

[SirMossyBloke]

So that's why wossy thanked Mountain Dew for letting him use an xbox one.

 

[Wario64]

Video content?

 

[Eggbok]

Who?

.

 

[Nokterian]

I suspect cheesy commercials. Or trying in vein of what Kevin Butler did with PS3 (but it will not work though and also why did they do that?).

 

[Freewheelin']

For people who don't know who Jonathan Ross is...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ross

Pretty odd move, lol. But then he is a massive gamer.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

I'm looking forward to being sold on the virtues of next-gen 'Fowza'.

 

[blastprocessor]

Probably put it on his talk show...

 

[AzureSkies]

Is he going to blame someone else for his own stupid ideas and then get them fired by the company?

 

[Eoin]

Who?

Big chat show host in the UK.

 

[RaikuHebi]

Who?

He's our version of that ginger guy.

So a homophobic dude, based on this I assume he will be the official spokesman of Xbox Live.

 

[Bundy]

All the right people for a "gaming console".
..... !
Good job, MS!

 

[DBT85]

Xbone cannot catch a break.

 

[Coolwhip]

That must be a very large money hat. I think he is more Nintendo fan.

 

[Ocelott]

Probably TV related.

 

[danwarb]

Xbox celebrity talk show.

 

[JehutyRunner]

For those who don't know, Jonathan Ross is a well-known TV personality who hosts a popular chat show on UK TV (on ITV).

He also has an iOS venture as part of his in-house production company, Hotsauce, a game called Catcha Catcha Aliens. This Edge feature goes into better detail.

EDIT: Microsoft says he's going to be consulting on games and entertainment.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Speech recognition tester?

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Love the Ross. He's a pretty massive Spiderman geek and I love him for the Steve Ditko documentary he made.

 

[Mass Effect]

For people who don't know who Jonathan Ross is...

Pretty odd move, lol. But then he is a massive gamer.

OH, that guy. What on earth is he going to do? What could possibly be Microsoft's reasoning behind this?

 

[Possum]

Pre-order cancelled.

 

[Phat Michael]

Hahha awesome. I wonder if he is just going to help market it in the UK? Wossy is fantastic.

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Xbox Won

[snorggy]

Probably for Xbox TV programming ?

 

[Acquiescence]

Lol. Stole my post.

 

[Eoin]

All the right people for a "gaming console".

Good job, MS!

To be fair he is a massive gamer, if he does the right sort of show it could be good.

 

[MysticGoujon]

So, how long til the first joke comparison between the "Xbox Ones Stuttering launch" and Jonathan Ross' stutter?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Probably for Xbox TV programming ?

my guess as well

 

[blastprocessor]

They'll need to re-tune the voice recognition

 

[LQX]

Wasn't he a painter back in the day?

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

He has worked for MS before (he did some VA for Fable 3).

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Will he use Kinect and Skype to make prank calls in poor taste?

Lol.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Order pre-cancelled.

 

[Gorillaz]

Xbone cannot catch a break.

lol

 

[Paches]

Sony needs to sign Conan to a deal now.

 

[Daffy Duck]

So, how long til the first joke comparison between the "Xbox Ones Stuttering launch" and Jonathan Ross' stutter?

He has a stutter?

Or do you mean his problem pronouncing R's?

 

[CSX]

First Top Gear on Forza 5 , now this.

Xbox 1 = Britain's box

 

[danwarb]

Speech recognition tester?

That should do it.

 

[Hindle]

I'm thinking he'll have his own gaming themed show,where he will interview developers etc.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

'They fucked your consumer rights!'

 

[Rey]

What's he going to do?

Replace Major Nelson???

 

[daviyoung]

So, how long til the first joke comparison between the "Xbox Ones Stuttering launch" and Jonathan Ross' stutter?

He doesn't have a stutter?

I don't know much about TV or what types of people watch ITV these days, but didn't he just melt into irrelevance after the whole Manuel from Fawlty Towers ordeal?

Wheeling him out for Xbox One promo is going to be like Iceland wheeling out Kerry Katona

 

[VanWinkle]

The return of a game show like 1 vs 100 maybe?
