    isn't the kinect always listening ?
    you can NOT change the hardrive ?
    you must activate the console with internet still when bought ?

    and i'm not letting it go .. ddr3 is NOT even remotely nextgen ..
    HAS to use cloud to offset the processing cause ... well ... it cant handle the truth !

    yeah you can your friends list and messaging and party chat will all be the same mate no difference if you have a 360 or the xbox one, although on the xbox one you can have upto 1000 friends but yeah they where quick to answer that one as it would be crap if you stuck with 360 and all your mates got xbox one and you couldnt see what they where up to or chat to them so don't worry about that one mate you can party chat 360-xb1 your GT is the same on both ;)

    I think it got to the stage where they had too mate lol, after a week of it major nelson in a video interview (3days ago) said "no we won't be changing anything" and now look a total turn around they should call it the Xbox180 as they have done a complete 180 with all there crazy descisions lol.

    They would of been crazy not to listen and it makes a change and all the people saying all we are doing is crying and moaning but yeah look at what over 1 million crying moaning people have managed to do get us all the console we should of had ;)

    sure they reverse their policies, but they are still a bunch of f*cks. What is to stop them from trying to do this bullish*t or some other bullish*t like this in the future.

    I personally think this was the plan.see the interest and then switch to suite. now to wait for the exploits then decide even further or more one or the other or both

    Sounds like MS is having regrets. Been playing the PS3 for the past couple of days and enjoying. I may just stick with the PS3 and goto PS4. But I will give it more time to see what develops. But I have been missing those trainers.

    More Details from Kotaku

    Speaking to Kotaku, VP of Xbox Live Marc Whitten said, "There’s a few things we won’t be able to deliver as a result of this change."
    "One of the things we were very excited about was 'wherever we go my games are always with me.' Now, of course your physical games won’t show up that way. The games you bought digitally will. You’ll have to bring your discs with you to have your games with you. Similarly, the sharing library [is something] we won’t be able to deliver at launch."
    Whitten said of the new approach, "The way to think about it is it works the way it does with 360. You can give them, loan them, trade them, play them. They will work exactly as they do today."

    Microsoft's offer to let you share Xbox One games with up to nine other "family" members is gone, too

    Beyond that, Microsoft has also expanded upon its intention to ditch region locking. "You could buy a console in any country and use it any country," said Whitten. "You can use any disc in that console."

    The Xbox Live VP concluded by saying, "We believe a lot in this digital future. We believe it builds an amazing experience—the ability to have a broader sharing platform and my content coming with me, [but] what we heard is people still wanted more choice… they wanted the familiarity of the physical disc."

    Edit: Microsoft clarifies that the planned day-one Xbox One update, then you can keep it offline and play games without re-connecting to the Internet forever.
