So users use the wrong command that the Xbox One isn't designed to respond too and understand, and obviously it doesn't work, because it's not supposed to. Yet that means the voice commands work horrible and isn't useful? 
Kinect is working really good when they say the right command. As soon as people learn the commands and the Kinect learns your voice a bit more, the Voice Navigation is going to be really swell. Even now, it's pretty good.

I'm not sure, I think over time though they can evolve the voice tech. I really want the ultimate goal to be personalised voice commands, 'voice pins' if you like.
NONE. People doing those are too fucking dumb.
Did not expect PS4 audio to be that bad in comparison.

this news does not please me, I wanted to run internet radio sites through snap during gameplay.

Toss me a good UI video then? I have seen screens and GIFs, want to see it in action now.
Here's the thing. It isn't JUST for gaming (clue is in the name) and it'll get better over time. Not worried.
I'd rater wait for actual people from here to do that.
Updated OP.
Making this image based might not have been the most flexible. But it looks the most pretty.
Not surprised. Since E3, it was clear which of the two systems had the better software, better OS, better features. Despite people finding reason to rip the console left and right, XB1 basically had a better offering in almost every way outside of raw specs and hardware design.
What's surprising - at least to me - is how polished the OS features, and some some of the games are looking to be(by 'launch standards', of course). There were times I thought they might had pushed back the launch date by a few weeks, but they certainly covered a ton of ground in such a short time.
XB1's audio is in good SHAPE.
Ign vid near the end... he says the battery also lasted him a long time. So polygon is right..

Not surprised at the reviews, a promising box with a few launch niggles.
nope.
If they haven't said anything at this point, I doubt we'll see it in the coming days.

But the Xbox One's OS is like Windows 8 which is also bad. It looks cluttered and way too many options are on the screen.
I don't understand these complaints, the screen isn't cluttered, everything is neatly placed in a square, and the reason there are a lot of squares is because you're supposed to navigate with your voice, the reason there's so many things is so you can just say, "Xbox, Go to Skydrive." Even though, it's pretty simple and easy to navigate with a controller, and considering you can choose how many apps/games show in the home screen, you can make it uncluttered.

Panicked when I got an email from Amazon that wasn't my shipping notification but it was just a standard email advising people to make sure their credit card info is valid before shipment. Phew!
I DON'T KNOW I AM TOO EXCITED TO THINK

That'll work just fine. Ignore Eurogamer here. I'm fairly positive that the game pausing is just a function of it losing focus. Just switch back to the game and you can do both at the same time. And the big internet radio sites (minus Spotify) work wonderfully with IE:

Well gotta work early tomorrow. Gonna head out for the night but tonight has been very encouraging. Unfortunately for many, the Xbox One launch isn't going to be the shit storm that was predicted. From reaching mainstream sites, most of them have been effusive in their praise of the Xbox.
Ultimately, I'll be searching for an Xbox on Thursday night now.

Retail exclusive AFAIK. All of them will be day one digital download.
IGN has confirmed with Microsoft that upcoming Xbox One launch title Zoo Tycoon will only be available in retail at Walmart for a limited time. It will, however, still be available as a digital download from the Xbox Games Store.
Well said, I agree.
Enjoying Giant Bomb's frank chat about the xbone, looking forward to Friday.
Although mine hasn't changed status on Amazon yet
Where in the podcast does that start?
Gamespot and others were cringe worthy when they were clearly using wrong commands, using commands while content loaded and even saw one outlet complain about how it didn't work when two people commanded at the same time....
Maybe it's just the Kotaku review, idk. I'll try to see some other opinions, but that review makes a lot of compelling points.
Some of the problems are bugs or oversights that can be fixed, some seem to be at the core of the design of the console and its UI. Until they can fix them, I've basically lost interest. That being said, I'm not going to clog up the thread with that negativity.

The reviews are spot on imo. The system isn't perfect, but imagine in a couple of years when most of the issues will be gone....man.
Also, can't wait to unpin every useless goddamn app i'm never gonna use. My ui is going to be clean as hell.

My pins are gonna be all games just as they are now!
Yeah, all my installed games will be pinned and I'll get to the rest with voice commands.
I already got GAF pinned and ready to go. I'll throw a few games and channels on there as well.

You're thinking about it like an engineer not a consumer.
When tech is lifelike in execution people expect the remaining 10% to perfection: sure it works incredibly well when you know just what to say but that's the catch 22, people assume cognition when it doesn't exist just like with SIRI.

Does anyone know when you turn off the Xbox 1 does it go to standby mode similar to the PS3 slim? or is it legit "off"
Uh, this is a truth with every piece of eletronic they all require some kind of learning curve to work smoothly.
Stand by mode.
Like the PS4, they like it. It has its quirks but overall it's a solid system for launch.
You can fully turn the system off but if you say Xbox Off it'll put it into standby. Microsoft said they built the system to always have power running through it, in standby or use, for 10 years.
