Sorry saying xbox play this, xbox do that, xbox volume up, xbox volume up, xbox volume down. Isn’t immersive in the slightest.


I have the original Kinect and, as you know, it's far from perfect.  I still love it, though.  Using the controller is definitely faster than saying "Xbox Next List" on Netflix or something but sooooooo many times, I've told it to rewind or pause or something while I was on the internet or washing dishes or something.  It's not ideal in every situation but, when the remote is on the other side of the room and you want the console to do something, it's a gift from heaven.

 

I'm not the type to wash dishes.. ermm. I mean I wont was dishes and watch a movie or tv show at the same time. So it really doesn’t mater. The only time I found voice controls to be nice was when I was driving down the high way lost, and I told my phone my address. So it could set the GPS. I don't think I’ll ever run in to a situation like that sitting on my couch. BTW I’ve used voice commands on my phone like 4 times total. And it's way better than what they are showing with the x1. Sometimes covenant, yes. Immersive, total opposite.
