Are you mad at the people who wrote the articles or the ones who posted them here? Both?

Looks good! Still too much of a focus on things other than gaming for my taste. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that stuff being there, but I'm not a fan of it taking (rather significant) resources from the games.
Interesting ...anyone notice the track layout bottom left? They seem to be different but this could be me Im not a big racing fan
It's the same track. The map rotates as you take turns and stuff.

I think that the investigators in this thread will feel pretty silly on the 22nd. I didn't see anything that wasn't something I already expected the box to do. I have no doubt they had to do minor edits or multiple takes on some of this stuff, but how is that not totally normal for something like this? When my company puts together videos like this it's sometimes an all-day event.

Laughing at the people that don't care about the snap feature yet use it's absence in this video to spell doom on the OS. I guess we will see at launch since nothing that they'll show will be trustworthy enough for some.
Anyway, that was great, but like others said it's not for everyone, all that nifty tv stuff will only work if you use the HDMI in right?

That looked absolutely incredible. They definitely win in the interface department.
Still, I can't help but feel the controller is faster in some applications, like instead of saying "Xbox play Forza Motorsport 5" you could just click the A button...

It looks pretty slick, your turn SONY show me your freaking PS4 interface, we are a freaking week away from launch.

I have no problem if it takes it a while to learn my particulaur vocal inflections. Hopefully that is all it is, and we wont have to constantly repeat the same commands.
For the new page.
It is still not live, but using pre-approved assets. ESPN is not live and so forth. So nothing has really changed.
Of course controller will make more sense sometimes. The point is to have options. If you're like me you'll probably have a smart phone or tablet laying around for typing inputs too.
Yeah, it's silly to show off the voice control like that. The part where he instantly jumped into the explorer made more sense.

That was fantastic! I like the video editing, and the Skype feature. Too bad that me and my friends don't use camera when speaking to each other, because that would be pretty cool to use (I wouldn't be surprised if you could use Skype video while playing a game using snap).
I can see myself using the internet explorer and snap for walkthroughs or combo videos. It would be quite the relief from switching channels on my TV, from PC to HDMI every second.
I'm quite impressed.

I'm not mad at anyone... Just get a good laugh out of seeing people try to downplay anything positive xbox.

Denial at it's finest. It's a testament to how awesome this OS/UI fucking works.

I don't know how you figured out that was the motivations of those articles, but alright I guess.

Very true Frank!
I am finally starting to come around and understand why it's $100 more. I can't lie and say that such features are unappealing anymore. The messaging has been horrible, but the Xbone is looking quite appealing once you wipe away all of the mud and tune out the noise that has been surrounding it. So, pardon me. I have something to eat.

Yeah that's silly for the most recently played game but seems like it was for demo purposes. You can say Xbox Play "Game" for any game in your library rather than sort thru a list.

Here are the screenshots from when Forza is paused and when it is unpaused:
Just like any other video, movie and tv show shit gets edited. Nothing new about this. They probably said cut went to break some one played paused it they resumed recording. Big whoop. Or it is just fake and lets continue you worrying about it.

If that was indeed a proper demo with no post editing shenanigans then color me impressed. I have a PS4 on pre order and I don't plan on changing that but that UI demo should have been released MONTHS ago....looks really awesome and something that I would be interested in.
None of this is possible without Kinect. I have no issues paying the extra for it. It is so far advanced from any other console OS or entertainment device.
It's the future ... now.

They have shown us nothing, that was debug unit with a bunch of incomplete icons.
I want an official video like this on the PSBlog with Mr. Lempel or whoever is in charge of the PSN now doing exactly what Mr. Yusuf an co. are doing here.

But that command works for any digital game you have installed in the HDD. You can say "Xbox play 'insert game here' " and it'll probably be faster than using the pad and manually looking for the game in your games section.

Wow, that was pretty damn cool. I doubt I'll use the voice stuff too often but there are times it makes sense.

Glad you like the video and we finally got one out there. Sorry - my life as been planes, demos, and sleep, so not much time to post.
I've been doing this exact demo for a few weeks. It all works and the coverage you're seeing today I think backs that up.
Any anomalies can likely be chalked up to the guys having to do more than one take. I was talking to Marc last night and he was saying that the tech was working perfect, it was more that he was flubbing lines. We're not actors as you can see
Enjoy the video and the coverage today! I'll be posting lightly over the next few weeks just due to travel. Can't wait for people to try themselves.

I thought we were finally gonna have a positive Xbox thread, but nope; GAF's gonna GAF.

Yup. You can see where MS was going with the all-digital plan too. You could jump to every game on your HD while on TV. Or while playing one game, you could get an invite to another and join right away. Physical copies destroys that ability.
This is probably a minority opinion here, but Xbox One became less appealing when they did the 180s. I'm not going next-gen for a while, I would have liked to see competing philosophies in action before making a decision.

Any reason why the big snap feature wasn't shown in all of 12 minutes ?
