Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One; Blunders Compilation

So I'm just making this thread to keep track of all the crazy things we've heard today.

1. 3GB of the RAM is reserved for the OS. I wonder how much is reserved for the kinect.
2. Used games - hasn't been completely cleared up. Either there's a fee (according to exec and ex Sony man Phil Harrison) or there's no fee, but you will sell your games through MS.
3. Controller still uses AA batteries, meaning you need to go buy your own rechargeables or dock
4. Kinect is always on (I guess you could block the eye if you want)
5. Xbox One has to connect online once per day
6. You cannot install a game without registering your game (this stems from needing to be online for used games, as the only way for the console to know if the game is used or new, is to check online).
7. 500GB Hard Drive is non-replaceable, and non-user serviceable, but you can use externals.
8. No backwards compatibility, meaning all the xbox live games from 360 will not work on One.
9. Box is ugly (objectively. No just kidding, that's my opinion). Beautiful controller makes console look even worse.

Controller still uses AA batteries!? Damn it, Microsoft. If this is true, I'll just have wait for Steambox's controller and hope that it does a better job.



Not good so far... well Microsoft have the E3 yet.

Anyway the box is HUGE and UGLY.

That is what I meant lol

 

It shows the text "4chan.org" below your OP o.O

Might want to edit your post since I see a large distorted image in the quote.

Mine shows like 7 paragraphs of text.

Kaz always says the truth.

I converted the image to binary... so no more 4chan.org.



thanks maz, updated



oh microsoft, maybe they will blow everyone away with their exclusives.



The title confuses me, I enjoyed the presentation and the things you list don't seem like blunders but smart decisions for the console and the gaming market, I guess everything. Is subjective.
