The Xbox One will never release in that form in europe. An "always on, always connected" device with a camera that has to be plugged in? Privacy Protection in europe will never allow such a thing to go on sale. Microsoft are in for some serious redesign or they just launch in the US only.

Ever thought about that? When even Facebook has major issues in europe, I think a device like XBox One will run into serious trouble. Also, in europe you have the right to sell used software. Some system set up by Microsoft won't do the trick.

You can sell it, there is just a fee.
Last time I checked, Steam was still working in Germany.

Besides the looks of the console (each one has its tastes), knowing that the rumors were mostly true has been a disappointment.

I buy used games and I don't want to pay an extra just because some greedy devs whine about it.

I don't want Kinnect, and even less if it's always connected and listening.

I don't care about its movie, etc. services as those will never leave the US, except for maybe the UK. They are useles to me.

I'm very disappointed.
