    Microsoft Points Transition
    Q: Are Microsoft Points going away?
    A: We continuously listen to feedback from our subscribers, and the ability to conduct transactions in local currency is something that they want. We are excited to announce that as part of the fall 2013 update, Microsoft Points will be retired, and transactions will take place using local currency. This change will make it even easier for Xbox LIVE subscribers to access and enjoy the games, movies, music and other great content they love.

    Q: Why are you making this change now? Is it because of negative feedback towards Microsoft Points?
    A: The ability to buy and rent content using local currency is something that the Xbox Live community has told us they want. We hope this change will make purchasing the latest games and entertainment on Xbox Live even simpler for subscribers.

    Q: When will this happen?
    A: The transition from Microsoft Points to local currency for Xbox Live Marketplace transactions will happen in the fall 2013 Xbox Live update. Stay tuned for more information on specific timing.

    Q: What happens to my Microsoft Points?
    A: When the transition takes place, the balance of Microsoft Points in an account will be retired and the customer will be given an amount in local currency that is equal or greater in Marketplace value. That value will be stored in your account and can be used similar to Microsoft Points to make purchases in the Xbox Live Marketplace.

    Q: How will you ensure that the transition to my local currency is equivalent to what I paid for my Microsoft Points?

    Xbox Live Dashboard

    Q: What is Snap?
    A: Snap lets you do two activities on Xbox One at the same time, on the same screen, like Skype with friends while playing your favorite game or watching the playoffs while managing your fantasy football team.

    Q: Can you Snap two games side-by-side?
    A: The Xbox One architecture focuses the power of the console’s Xbox operating system on a single game at a time. Side-by-side gameplay will not be supported. However, the new generation of Xbox Live enables switching between Xbox One games in a flash, so no matter what you’re in the mood to play, it’s right there when you want it. Snap lets you do two different activities on Xbox One at the same time, on the same screen, like host a Skype video call with friends while playing your favorite game or watching live TV while Smart Match finds your ultimate multiplayer match-up.

    Q: Are you able to personalize the dashboard, per person?

    Q: Will there be advertisements built into the dashboard like Xbox 360? How many?
    A: We designed the Xbox One dashboard to make your favorite games and entertainment even more front and center. Advertisements will not be visible on the home screen, so you only see what’s most important to you.

In addition, for every Xbox One in the living room, we put the equivalent of three more in the cloud—so developers can create characters and living worlds that were previously not possible.

    Q: The last time you launched a console you were plagued with hardware problems such as the red ring. What assurances should consumers have that you have fixed your manufacturing problems?
    A: There’s no doubt we had some challenges at the launch of Xbox 360. We couldn't be more proud of the consoles we’ve been building for years. Our track record is proof of the culmination of years of continuous innovation in design, testing and learning. We are confident we are building a high quality product.

    Q: Why are you including only one SKU? With Xbox 360 you had a variety of options including hard drive size and with or without Kinect?
    A: The all new Kinect is now an essential and integrated part of the platform. By having it as a consistent part of every Xbox One, game and entertainment creators can build experiences that assume the availability of voice, gesture and natural sensing, leading to unrivaled ease of use, premium experiences and interactivity for consumers. In addition, consumers no longer need to worry about the size of their hard drive because Xbox One includes a built in 500GB hard drive and unlimited storage in the cloud. There is also the option to add storage as you need it using a USB 3 attached external drive.

    Q: Will there be region restrictions for games on Xbox One?
    A: Similar to the movie and music industry, games must meet country-specific regulatory guidelines before they are cleared for sale. We will continue to work with our partners to follow these guidelines with Xbox One.

    Q: What about gray markets?
    A: Building out distribution and retail channels in new markets is a costly endeavor, and is done based on a variety of factors. While seemingly simple, it often involves regulatory and other local compliance approvals in each market where a console is sold. As such I can’t comment on availability beyond the markets listed in today’s release.
