They might still be working on displaying the games with a proper aspect ratio.
Isn't the PS4 also 'wasting' relatively lots of ram on the OS?
if for u that is wasting resources....well that console isnt done for u

I'm not sure Sky will ever let MS do the things it wants to do (be fully integrated into the TV experience), an app like Sky Go is one thing, being fully usable with their own boxes and have their own tv guide overlay is another altogether and it's something that goes against everything Sky has built, espcially in the UK.
Pretty cool demo. Impressed by how quickly it can change between apps (too bad they're all behind a pay wall). I'd like to see the user experience for someone who isn't a XBL Gold member. I really want to know how well the voice commands work in a more hectic living room. Will voice commands still work if there is another conversation going on in the room? How easy is it to trick the voice recognition? Will the system recognize the face of someone wearing a hat? Or what happens if the user puts on a hat mid session, will that throw it off?
No, there can be nothing appealing or positive about this system. It will steal your wife, make your pet betray you, eat all of your food and kick you out of your house. Buyer beware!

Gotta take my hat off to MS. This fucking OS is amazing.

Yeah, I know it's getting positive feedback from those who saw it in action, but I really want to see a demo if it for myself.
Nice, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Hope it's soon...

I'll just ask in general here for NeoGAF....
do we know what TV services are supported by the Xbox One Guide and Kinect?

There are multiple in-person demos being written about on news sites today, this is obviously not fake.
the verge write up is pretty good, giant bomb talks about how impressed they were in their 45 min xbox game demo, ign has their own walkthrough, etc.

The IGN video linked earlier shows some snapping.

About 9 minutes in. Looks fine.

So we're seeing the OS running better than we've been expecting, and so far everything seems to indicate snap is working fine?
Sounds good to me. I'm impressed with the OS.

Looks great to me. I look forward to an Xbone after Halo drops (and so does the price).
I'm really happy about the overwhelmingly positive response to this, but for some peculiar reasons.
For the last couple of weeks, both journalists and other various pro-Microsoft entities would have had you believe that GAF was religiously anti-Microsoft to the extent that they would never get anything but negativity from here, and hence dismissed all complaints as biased whining.
Well, as demonstrated herein, that is not the case.
I don't have any anti-MS bias. However, recently, reality does.

For me, it's still the price. I can't bring myself to pay $500 for an inferior product. That said, once t hey drop it to $400, and months go by without any hardware hiccups, I would definitely consider getting an Xbox One next year. Would be great to replace my DVR box. But yeah, the OS looks gorgeous, and is totally awesome. Good job MS.
I like the stuff they show in both vids... verge and the official one.
I will say that I don't really watch TV. Netflix I do watch.
If I could say "Xbox, record that TV show" and DVR something, I would be REALLY INTERESTED!!! But that doesn't exist, right?
Why doesn't this exist...

legalities. There is no way a cable company would allow MS to replace their own DVR and it can open the door for piracy.

this really shows the vision of the platform in such an impressive way. great vid
yeah
Less, but it's not wasting gpu and cpu on it, or at absolute least they haven't really confirmed it but I doubt they're using anywhere near the 10% that X1 is.
Video looks nice. Look forward to trying this UI in a year or two when the X1 actually releases an exclusive I'm more than mildly interested in that I can't get on my 360 or pc...(Halo doesn't count, that ship has sailed with the
Master Chief surviving a nuke by being shielded by the ship he was on which exploded. Seriously, shoulda killed him off awhile ago

Yeah, this looks great.
Yeah well just lock it to the box? I mean they have DRM right? So if say I could just record a TV show but never have it leave the box, I don't see what's wrong with that.
I think that there is this arbitrary limiting of the way people can use data that they receive to their homes, which feels smarmy. I know there are a shit-ton of legal issues that need to get sussed out, but as long as content providers continue to live in the past, I feel like they're neutering the entire industry and preventing any forward progress.
I never ever watch TV because I don't have a set schedule, but if I could find a show I want, say "Xbox, record Swamp Hunters", and come home to see it on my box, I would snap this up in an instant. Why isn't that TiVo functionality in everything already?

I think the idea to have the option to install physical games and be able to play them without the disc is a very good one.
The way they went about it was just terrible. It would have been much better if you had the option to install the games and while they were install you'd be subjected to the online verification. Of course you'd also have the option the uninstall the games at which point DRM is off and it works just like any other physical game. That's the sensible way to do it.

Yep, and Skype will likely auto home in on the other persons face if they have XB1+Kinect like in the video.

All the crap Microsoft received from GAF and other websites about the rumors might pay off when people start watching more of these videos. I'm so excited for these features, talking with family/friends while doing whatever is going to be great.

Anyone know if the TV guide works with DirecTV?
Yes, it was shown in one of the set up videos.

Looks okay, I'm really looking forward to the separate video MS will have for Snap...hope they release it soon so we know for sure how it works.

Loved it. Looks so slick. Not going to use most of the features outside of maybe multitasking between my game and the web browser, but it all looks very snappy
Upload studio actually seems to have more options than what Sony has with Share

Indeed. It's smooth and thorough. And I liked the presenters too. Down to earth.
I think one of the latest numbers was 3.0 - 3.5 GB RAM reserved for the OS, so that would be about the same as the XB1. And I assume they'll also need some of the gpu and cpu to handle the OS, or else it wouldn't work while playing a game. But I agree that it's probably not 10%

I gotta admit, it looks like they may deliver on the UI front. Even the Kinect seems to be working as intended (if only primarily through voice commands).
The PS4 has a secondary chip for handling various OS functions/features (I'm just not sure what all it covers).
