Forums - Microsoft - XB1 Kinect Haters, Do you know what controller you're holding

for those that are just dead against kinect i just thought about something and why it may not be possible to turn it off.  one of the benefits of the kinect is it's ability to recognize the contoller. that benefit for the kinect haters is the biggest problem.  there is no controller number indicator on the controller now.  i'm pretty sure you can plug it in and recognize the controllers like before.

So Microsoft removed the cheap LED on the controller to justify the inclusion of the expensive Kinect. Who would have thought?

They did it for you! Why are you rejecting it?! Embrace the love!!!



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

So include an expensive peripheral to do a feature that was already possible without it...seems like a good idea.



yay, features!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

This seems like the type of excuse Don would give.

Makes sense, I guess.



I don't like Kinect because I just don't. It's a device that is not useful to me. I don't like Siri in my iPod Touch. But Apple nicely has a disable option. So I'm not pestered by its poor voice controls. Kinect should be the same way. A option to the consumer were I can leave it in the box. Or buy a version that doesn't come with it.



It can identify your controller, so it's all worth it!



ground breaking.
fuck it, I'm getting xb1 at launch



Its funny how only Playstation and Nintendo F*nboys posted in here so far
