After-interview confirms that you do not have to be always on the internet to play the console. There you go.

However, no backwards-compatibility, so don't even think about trading in your 360 to get the One.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

----Gigabytes of RAM (didn't catch the exact value)
Eight gigabytes. Also, this event was fucking disappointing. Lame name, horrific hardware design, nothing but fucking multimedia features. And only three or four games demoed. None of which I actually give a fuck about.

My expectations for E3 have been significantly lowered. (only thing I really liked was how you can tell the Xbox One to turn itself on.)

I really don't see the disappointment as big as you are having, Luffy. I don't expect game reveals until E3.

Also, the Wii had a lame name. Look how it did.

I was a little underwhelmed but with proximity to E3 it makes sense.

I have that for my Google TV, but they don't work sometimes...

Yeah, but...

Xbox One Is Not Always Online, But Seems To Restrict Used Games
http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-is-not-always-online-but-seems-to-block-used-509077987
edit: nm, already said


Worst name I even heard. Even just "ONE" on its own would have been better. Infinity was infinity times better. XBOX III would have been acceptable.

I like that it'll have many exclusive IPs, Halo was pretty much the only thing most people would buy it for in the past. But the fact that I'm not buying it anytime soon makes me annoyed that it'll have games I wont be able to get to.

The TV stuff was neato, and didn't try to oversell us on the Kinect like they unrealistically did the first time around.

Was too short imo.

Infinity sounded far too immature, really. I mean, people use the word "infinity" in an immature gesture through arguments. It'd be like a joke between a Sony fanboy and a Microsoft fanboy going with "PS4 Infinity!" and "Xbox Infinity Infinity!"

Also, too short? The average conference is an hour. This was an hour and 5 minutes.

Probably the most interesting news up there. I mean the other stuff was okay, but this just sounds like it's going to be awesome.

I don't get why people are whining about pre-E3 information that they were kind enough to tell us about beforehand. It means they can hopefully put more focus on ACTUAL GAMES in E3, instead of hardware and peripheral specs and their hopes for the console itself.

I'm not especially impressed by the gaming side of it, but I love the idea of not having to worry about where my fucking remotes are anymore.

Was kinda hoping for something price-wise or whether most of the newer features will be Gold only, but hey. They're not gonna give us the fine print yet are they.

I probably won't be getting an XB1 for some time. I can't even afford a Wii right now. Probably will grab it at the end of cycle knowing my luck, but something tells me I'd find it quite nice? Even if I can't use the majority of the SmartGlass stuff. I think this might be a thing my dad would love though, he used his old Xbox/360 practically the same way.
