wowowo hold it right there.... while I love the profile loading Kinect feature and think it is great step forward towards removing unnecessary steps into the gaming process and living you more time to whatever you want to do with your entertainment time... even if it is one second at a time....

where did you read that it will load profiles over XBL????? I can believe if you have the profile on the box it will work.... but I have a hard time believing it will load it through XBL....

that would some of the great amazing power of the cloud right there.... now I would even be blown away if it works just with the profiles of the people in your friend list.... that would be some bad ass trick right there.... but I'd still settle for a local load of existing profiles on the box....

They show the instant profile recognizing here, but it may be that each Xbox One has to learn who you are.  But I would think they could add that as a feature, where it search your friends profiles if a new person shows up.

I am not sure the current one may already do that if you login and download your gamer tag.   It's picked out my friend a few times when it's trying to figure out a person, and he has never gone through the Kinect Calibration at my place.

Yeah but his profile is on your XB360.... what I'm saying is if I come to your house and play on your XB360 today or XB1 in a few months.... I'm not sure it would fetch my profile (actually I'm sure it doesn't with the 360) over the internet and XBL..... now I'm sure it is technically possible..... but that would be quite insane to think that azure/orlean cloud server could process information your kinect 2 sends and fetch a profile over millions of other recorded profiles all over the world.....
if it can and will do that.... people can tell me what ever they want against the power of the cloud and gaming.... I will be impressed no matter what and will be sold for the long run....
if I can go to anybody's place who has an XB1 and XBL.... grab a controller and within sconds have my profile downloaded and all without me doing anything.... that would be freaking impressive.... you imagine what that could mean for the future ???


No more need for credit cards, IDs, passeport, keys and lobby desk for hotels etc.... you can be recognised by a freaking camera all over the world... you add a couple checks on top such as print scanner like you use a signature on a check today.... and I wont need a wallet anymore or  keys....
heck I go in vaccation no need for a welcome desk I go straight to my room it bills me and all but on top of that when I arrive it knows already my habbits sets up the AC to my taste... talks back to me to tell me what would be nice to check out around here sets up the right mini bar drinks to be put in ... etc.... and all that for really cheap when you see how much palace hotels today invest to have data base on their big customers....
