Regardless of your opinion of what constitutes reviewing, any discussion on your behalf would be your personal opinion. If you opinion has been paid for, irrespective of whether or not it aligns with your personal opinion, it needs to be noted, as there is now a potential for a conflict of interest.

You don't have to make up an opinion to take advantage of MS's offer.

For example, someone could make a video about the X1 games they're enjoying, explain why, and mention other games they're looking forward too. Simple way to make money without misleading the folks.

This whole thing seems pointless considering people already do that for free. Anyhow, nothing unethical was done on the part of MS in my opinion. No point in dragging this on, my mind isn't gonna change unless we get some new information.

How do you explain why without an opinion?

All the information is already there, it's unethical not to disclose. You're free to your own opinion, even if it's wrong.

A further point to consider: someone may already be for the Xbone, but have minor quiggles with some features. In order to qualify to be paid, they wouldn't be allowed to bring these up. It's a very slippery slope.
