It's cool so do I. Im working tonight so I have to wait for Hulu and HBO Go

Anyone playing Hearthstone??

XES seems like a cool studio. I like that they are getting new shows to Xbox and Quantum break seems like a great first jump for their game/shows. Hope it does well.

I wonder what this update I'm getting is for.

Oh looks boring

Kinect with tv could have a lot of cool integration. The problem I see is how would it interact with the viewer without interrupting the show if film makers have no intention of producing movies in real time... maybe it would be the right time for film makers to create a movie engine that has similar functions to game engines.

Making movies with real time application could make for a real revolution... 3D is not a revolution as it existed for more than 50 years but never really took off.

Microsoft could also try to get into family shows for kids using Kinect. There are kids shows that ask the kid to say something then the show pauses for the kid to do something or say something. But Since it's a pre rendered movie there is no way for the show makers to know whether the kid did what he was supposed to do. With Kinect it would be totally different.

Today's consoles are powerful enough to produce kids show graphics. A show made entirely with CryEngine or U4 with Kinect integration could sell the idea to families on itself. Also there are many studies that says that kids learn way more and faster when they have to interact with what they are learning...

Anyway, I think it's a great concept.

Nice opinion piece.

I don't think MS should try hard to remove Kinect as I think it's a great way to differentiate themselves from the competition... they should use it more though. Kinect with a controller could be home to great experiences. Of course if they try to replace the controller when the game could clearly be better with a controller it's a bad idea. But things like using your voice to lure enemies (Splinter Cell?) or NPCs asking you to look at them when they talk (Kinect knowing you're not watching) etc sounds good imo. 

I think MS is off to a great start, can't say I'm dissapointed right now and with rumors of them bringning back older IPs and new ones alongside existing strong franchises well I think there's not much to complain about. 

Who is Stuart Whyte?!?
