Sounds good but we'll see what happens once it's out. I wouldn't personally mind one but if I need to pay for live service just to use netflix or the like they can kiss my ass. If that live service came with tv guide updates and other content besides gaming then maybe providing what that includes.
Looks good though I'm sort of impressed so far by MS. |

I wonder how it's going to deal with Nvidia-optimized titles (new and old).
If it's 99 dollars (or less) and no registration/subscription nonsense is required, I might buy one for the kids. |

Heh. I believe Microsoft has stated some variation of that for every version of Windows since 95. It still hasn't happened. Don't see it happening here, either. Apparently MS defines the word "instantly" very differently from the rest of the English-speaking world.  |

Well, they support used games and don't require you to be always online so that took care of my only worries.
Oh, but look, it requires the friggin kinect sensor to navigate AT ALL? Screw you, pass.
Now if the Kinect sensor is the default setting for navigation but you can change it to just using the controller (and disconnect the kinect completely) then ok. But this says it's required, no thanks. |

Well the kinect thing isn't so much a worry as an I just don't want to deal with it.
I'm sure it works just fine and I'd probably get used to it, I'd just rather use the controller (or at least be able to) if I don't feel like speaking sign language to my TV to get it to work. |

| Yea I saw all the videos and articles over this thing. E3 better be different because as of now this console might be in the shitter. Why would someone get it for the TV features when it's not better than a 360 at this point? |
