Yeah, I figured most bricks were red. Orange just seemed weird to me :p
Seems like Ocelot was the only one taking it personally, the rest has just been normal discussion to me. Maybe it's just me. And that "TV is big, console is small" argument, somehow also makes the power brick disappear... No, it doesn't make sense. |

re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
My house is orange brick. But it's still not the first color of brick that comes to mind.
|
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
I always assumed it was because a TV would have more space where they could put the power supply.
I could be completely wrong. :shrug: Personally, I don't mind the bricks, as long as they aren't attached to the plug and block a second port on an outlet. Bastards. |

No, I was even taking anything personally, geez. It's okay if you don't agree with orange, it's just a color! BUT what I don't like is to use that stupid color digression to magically make the power brick discussion disappear.

The size thing is a non-issue. It is an inch or two bigger in certain dimensions and looks like a normal piece of home theater hardware. As long as the console isn't some random bright orange 3ft tall triangle, it's fine ;)

re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
I absolutely love the fact that we are still discussing the color of bricks. :lol:

Open up the back of your TV and take a look, maybe then you'll understand.

I don't see the issue with orange bricks:

From IGN: Ask Microsoft Anything About Xbox One
As the Xbox One gets closer to its November launch, many questions remain about how the console works and what it can do. So we reached out to Microsoft and asked them if they could definitively clarify some of these things. They obliged, and so we'll be bringing you a handful of Ask Microsoft Anything answers each Monday at 2pm PDT/5pm EDT. Bookmark this page, as we'll update this article so that all the answers live in one easy-to-find place. Oh, and if you've got a question for Microsoft about the Xbox One, send it to our Podcast Unlocked team at [email protected] and we'll make sure Microsoft sees it! Are Xbox 360 Avatars transferring over? If so will any changes be made to them? MARC WHITTEN, CHIEF XBOX ONE PLATFORM ARCHITECT: They are – your avatar will be on the system at launch and in fact, you’ll have some new options, including the ability to do full-body HD gamerpics. By the way, we should actually talk more about gamerpics too. We’ve moved from the 64x64 gamerpics on Xbox 360 to a full 1080p. They are beautiful, and you are going to see some really cool hero moments, like when you login to see personalized views of your games and other content. Can you clarify how will Xbox Live Arcade work on Xbox One? Or if it will exist at all? WHITTEN: Sure – there is no difference between games in the store – games are games are games! You’ll find them in the same pivots (most popular, new, etc.) and we’ll be highlighting them in our dashboard experience. And of course – like all of your digital games content – you can play them on any Xbox One, and anyone can play them on your Xbox One. Will the Game DVR capture at the source resolution? i.e. will Forza 5 clips capture at 1080p and 60fps? And where can Game DVR clips be uploaded to? WHITTEN: Game DVR captures beautiful clips at 720p 30fps. The first thing you’ll see with our game DVR is the integration of our Upload service on the console. This service allows you to manage, edit, and share your content. Your clips are stored in the cloud. Also, you’ll see games making “magic moment” videos of your gameplay based on the game DVR functionality – all seamlessly integrated. You’ll be able to see these clips in the Xbox One Guide, in your own game DVR collection, and when you are looking at gamercards on the system. You’ll also see games take advantage of this platform capability and do interesting things to integrate captured game footage into the game experience itself. Can you earn two sets of Achievements for the same game (i.e. Playing Call of Duty Ghosts on Xbox 360 and on Xbox One)? WHITTEN: Every game has its own set of achievements, so if you’re playing Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox 360 and on Xbox One, you can earn a separate set of Gamerscore in each game. But on the Xbox One version, you’re getting a much richer set of features, such as seeing your achievements progress on the Xbox One console, being able to unlock new achievements throughout the year, and earning real prizes inside and outside of the game. Xbox One also enables a new concept of challenges, where games will be offering special time-based opportunities to earn various goals and collect the rewards. More info on challenges can be found on Major Nelson's blog here. |
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
I know they'll probably cherry pick all the questions, but it's not a bad idea to get some information out there.
|
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
2 sets of achievements sounds good to me!

re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
You're buying two copies of CoD?
|
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
More like 0 copies of CoD. I would buy something like LEGO Marvel a second time, after trading in the one I have pre-ordered for the 360 and getting a used copy for the X1 so I can just return it afterwards ;)
I almost rarely buy a game new, and when I do I sell it back asap to get maximum credit. I pretty much just buy everything used and return it within 7 days. There's maybe a game or two every few years with enough replay value to keep, like Rock Band 3 or something. Games are just too expensive and I play close to 100 a year so I would be homeless. Now, if X1 kept its digital and sharing features, and we could get cheaper digital games and share with friends and split the costs, I would probably buy quite a few more new games a yer. But that's another, sadder, story. |
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
Man, you would have been SEVERELY disappointed in the XO if they kept their original setup.
|
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
:lol:
|
re: Xbox One: We said WHAT at E3??
Yeah, ripping off a company for free game "rentals" would seem better for some than paying a small amount to share new games.
