Could you elaborate?

I watched the whole conference, but since the Kinect/interactivity stuff seemed like a repeat from past MS E3s I was kinda half asleep.

But I know that much, that if there really was a box that was very slick, very plug-and-play and user-friendly and who would get cable-TV support in my country, I would be interested in that kind of box. By intuition and experience I just know that most "boxes" are more cumbersume than they are user-friendly, including Kinect 1.0, modern TVs (damn they lag!), cable-set-top-boxes and obviously desktop PCs.


The majority of it was voice activated, with some stuff using the hands.

No jumping around. No need for the legs.

Just what youd expect.

The main problem with his post was that he simply didnt watch it. If he did, hed have known what it was doing. Hed have known that you only need one box to do all these things. The advantage over a TV remote is, that the TV remote only works on the TV. Kinect will work your TV and your Xbox.

That's where I see the problem come in. How can the Xbox control all your TV broadcasts? What if I have one TV account with a cable provider and one TV signal that comes from the national "free" TV? The Xbox won't even know that the national TV channels exist, that's what I'm afraid of.
