Wait, what?

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

I don't get it.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

I think in others words it'll be another PS4 event where all hype and no substance.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Huh? The one PS4 event was a hell of a lot of substance...

Finally! Now we can all get prepared to be disappointed.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Can one of you worthless mods update the title to reflect the new information? And don't... DON'T... change it to some smarmy inside joke, you worthless mods you.

1PM EST. At least they know when to do a press conference.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

It was kind political substance, they said a lot without actually saying a lot.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

System specs
Features
User Interface images
Game lineup
Release window
Tech concepts

Aside from an exact release date and cost, what else was missing? Oh the black rectangle box, right.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Can't wait! Xbox360 destroyed the PS3 in terms of...well, everything except BluRay support. As long as this always online thing is false, which it is, I'm good to go! Oh, and achievements have to carry over, but since it looks like PS3 trophies do, I don't see this being an issue.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Achievements and gamertags have already been integrated into Windows 8, Windows Phones, Games for Windows Live, and even iOS in one case. It is an absolute 100% certainty that they will carry over.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Well then...

lol why? Probably the most pointless thing to want.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Has Blu-ray support been confirmed or is that just speculation? I would not expect to see that in the new system. I would expect a new high capacity proprietary system (optical or flash based).

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

Nothing has been confirmed, everything is speculation.

^ they could always dust off that 51GB 3-layer HD DVD spec again... ;)

Achievements are probably the best idea to be invented in this generation of gaming. Sure, some are the basic finish a level and get a reward type. But many make you play the game in a whole new way. Which expands the gameplay and overall experience. Makes me feel like I get my $60 worth.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

:up: There's a reason why pretty much every gaming platform, including Playstation, has copied them.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

^^ What he said. If the gamertag and achievements did not carry over, it would probably be more detrimental to the system sales then always online would be.

re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
 

I couldn't care less about who sees the volume of my achievements, but I really enjoy working to get as many as I can for the games I get addicted to. Having them carry over, and making it so you can continue to fire 360 achievements on the new system, would be ideal.
