It's a subtle jab at the PS4 saying that it'll explode.

Agree that all this talk, rumors, specs, etc. are bullshit.

But, if Microsoft updated its hardware specs 3 months before release it means that they have been receiving feedback from developers requesting that.

Re: Xbox One: Thoughts Turn Ironic on November 22nd
 
Right. Increasing clock speeds rarely comes for free. It likely affected their yields, but probably not a substantial amount.

Isn't that the only thing they've updated with regards to hardware specs? There really isn't much else you can change with hardware that's being released in only a few months. Obviously policy wise they've changed quite a bit.

Unlimited storage in the cloud?? for what? game saves?

http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/3/468...ives-at-launch

Update: A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to The Verge that external hard drives won't be supported on day one. "While not available at launch, we are working to bring the ability to add storage using a USB 3 attached external drive to Xbox One. However, on launch day, every Xbox One will include a built in 500GB hard drive and unlimited storage in the cloud," wrote a representative for the company.

For SkyDrive, which is not going to be called SkyDrive for much longer. Lawsuits. Tsk.

PS: the thread title should just be "Xbox One: Bigger, Blacker, and Premium Priced on 11/22"
That WAS going to be my sig... but I couldn't help myself.

Can games be played from the cloud? If not isn't unlimited kinda pointless? What're we talking here, game saves and umm... yeah.

What they're probably trying to convey with that message (and again failing miserably at doing so) is "Don't worry, anything you buy will always be able to be redownloaded in case you need to make space on your local drive." You know, exactly how it is now.

It means that they didn't want to make it overpowered like the PS4. ;)

Or it means they didn't want underpowered software and API that's on the PS4.

So I opened up my Xbox One retail packaging the other day and said:
"Man you got a big box."
"Man you got a big box."
And it said: "Why did you say it twice?"
And I said "I didn't."
