Holy ...

This changes everything.



MS PR moguls are doing a decent job at stamping out the fires. This should help to clarify their new stance.

I don't really follow the whole "Your schedule" section though. Suspending and resuming gameplay instantly? Even the examples they give (walking the dog or checking the TV) I've been doing that for years.



 

What's up with Home Gold?

...so it's a more powerful Xbox 360?

Aren't these the people who were knocking the PS4 for just being a more powerful PS3?



so many options here...

It means you can play a game. Then for some reason have some manly urges. You say "Xbox, snap Internet Explorer" to open up some porn on a web browser to the side of the screen. You then realize looking at pictures isn't doing anything for you. You say "Xbox, Playboy Channel" it instantly changes to the Playboy Channel and you fap one out real quick. You say "Xbox, Skylander" to get instantly back to your game of Skylander. Sticky controller and all. Ooooops... Xbox thought you said "Xbox, Skype Alexander".. There you are naked as your buddy Alexander has a look of astonishment on his face.

I get work calls all the time at awkward moments. This is great that I can just say, "Xbox Pause" and take my call.

Even better if I can make it pause when it hears the phone ring.

The Home Gold will be really useful too. So everyone can have their own Gamertag, but not need gold for each and every one.



 

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!

I knew that, but have they used the name home gold before?
