nice. I actualy like the sixe of it... that way I'll be able to put the 360 on top of it without covering completely the vent of one or the other....

but I have been wondering lately how do you put the Kinect sensor on top of the TV???? anyone has a picture or something where it shown ????



The design is really growing on me, it has the look of a Machines that is meant to sit below the TV for many years to come. The Kinect design is even better i think, sturdier and fitting with most TV:s.

I like the size of it too.  Not sure what everyone is complaining about, as most people are gravitating to 50" or bigger TV's. 

 

Also kind of wondered about the placement of the unit.  It seems(from the youtube video embedded in the OP) that its stand has a flat portion that may be able to sit under a tv 's(LCD/Plasma flat panel) stand to place it centered and below the screen.  I will assume that may not work for some and they will be selling a number of gadgets to attach them to your TV's.

It looks nice.  Personally, I would still prefer a silver or colour other than black.

Due to it's greater dynamic range, it should be easier to put the Kinect 2.0 under your TV as Microsoft's Albert Penello shows here:

Plus it looks like you should stack an old Kinect 1.0 on top if you needed too.

Note: the 3 lights show up in the camera, but are not visible to the human eye.  The only thing you might see is sometimes it glows red like an electric burner (so I have been told.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

This system is going to be incredible

well my issue is that I have a 250 watt central speaker under the TV lol

if I can put it really low then... like on the shelf where the XBox is on the picture you posted....we'll see I just wondered.... I will probably move before I get the XB1 so I'm already figuring out what kind of set up i'll need or get.... I will probably upgrade my entire set up (I really want a new TV :D )





I like how it will complement your TV setup and not stick out like a sore thumb (Gamecube comes to mind).



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Ah, that is a very nice speaker! 

I have a Sony 5.1 sorround system.  I have my center speaker mounted at the top of the TV, and although it makes it a bit grumpy, I put my Kinect on top. I have added a few layers of different materials for sound dampening, and it does mess up my Kinect audio tracking a bit, but not enough, I still use it.   All the time.

Can you mount a shelf on the wall and put your center speaker up there?  Or you Kinect for your Xbox One?

Sort of like this with your speakr or Kinect, or like I do both. (but not ideal to do both.)
