Well i was pretty harsh on the system yesterday but dammit i want a game console not a cable box with game capabilities i did see the Witcher 3 and a few more rpgs and strategy games that look really good but having to be connected at least once a day is crap like a freind said to me why are you complaining your on xbox live all the time anyway and my response was but i should have the option to not be if i choose and well im really going to have to watch this thing, i mean i dont want to jump ship since the 360 has been a really good system short of the red ring thing and i wonder how that fits into the new system is this history or are we going to get another ring of death on this unit lol only time will tell.
My two cents on XBOX One. Or is it one cent..maybe fiddy!

First things first here. I was a bit disappointed with the announcement event after watching the whole thing last night. Too much emphasis on TV functionality and sports[both real and fantasy type!]. The TV stuff had no impact on me,as we don't even watch it in the man room. Netflix,Blu-Rays, and gaming is all that happens in there. Our cable box and SmartTV work just fine in our living room. And I am not too lazy to put my thumb to use on a remote. They are determined that we will all use Kinect functions for almost everything. And the voice thing as well. My first thought about that is accents and stoners. Both could cause difficulties for the system. With all the mumblers and people stoned out of their tree,voice commands could be tricky! Hands are much better,but we already use those,don't we? I like that the console is displayed horizontally. I have never liked using systems that are standing up. Too vulnerable to the cats,who love knocking things over in the house. I guess they added the bevel on the front so the thing does not completely resemble an old school VCR. The camera kind of creeps me out because it makes me think of Hal from "2001:A Space Odyssey". "Put down the controller,Wayde. You have played for 4 hours now. Don't you think you could use a bit of fresh air?" If the console talked I'd be really freaked out. The controller is not so bad. Pretty much the same,but we'll see how responsive it is. But the main letdown I had was in the game department. I don't give a crap about FIFA or Forza,but I know they have to pimp those two because they sell big globally. And of course,Call Of Duty:Ghosts is shoved in our faces for the same reason. I'm sure I will buy it,but that's not a big selling point for me. My only hope is that the original games,as in new franchises,will be spectacular. E3 is where we will learn more about them,hopefully. It was kinda cool,but I was just expecting a bit more. It just seemed so bland and focus group tested to me.
