The Gold stuff for other family members/friends and accessing it on other consoles just sounds great. And the UI is amazing. This is the type of stuff where I expect MS to continue leading the industry in innovation and design. The activity feed Nelson was so excited about though, who cares? You can just peek at your friends list and see Dudebro16 is playing Forza 5. Or that Princess46 is watching TV.


lol weird i had the exact opposite reaction, i thought the snapping of friends activity was quite cool, and though the UI looked sparse and boring. With so much unused space id hoped they would of used it to make the fonts bigger, not sure how readable that will be from the other side of the lounge. 

But like the 360 i think we can bank on many tweaks and changes over the next 7 years. 

Im so used to using Windows 8, the font looks normal. Its the same on WP8 and Windows 8. On 360 I think to. I dont know, Im sure its readable though. Tests would have been done.

Really like the Windows 8 UI. The benefits of Metro style have shown through on WP8 and my Surface. Cant wait to see it in all its glory on Xbox One.

I like that we can properly customise like on Windows 8 with Pins.

I realise that but i sit 2 feet from my Windows 8 PC i sit 10 feet from my TV.

It was amazing at the begining of the 360 gen when tests clearly hadnt been done, with many games launching with unreadble text. 

But yeah i hope its fine too. Just not a fan of all that empty white / grey space.

Oh yeah I remeber that.

Well I guess they wont please everyone. Im not really a fan of the busy Android screen for example. I prefer sleeker lines and simpler interface. I guess like my home design. :)
