Those are some great features, especially for families! My brother has a kid and a wife and I can really see how this will be used ALOT in their home :).
The Skype integration will be really nice. Playing as example a co-op game like Destiny with a friend or family member and the possibility to see him while playing is great.
They need to start demoing this more rather than talking about it. It is about time they show how people do the initial setup as well. Do an installation with DirectTv or Comcast/Xfinity or both.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I agree, "show me the money!". Just do some detailed videos with Direct Tv and Cable. See it in action in an actual home!
It is near the end of the end....
I like the skype feature, i will be using it alot. Looking at someone and playing with them sounds cool. I just hope we can resize the windows. i want my gaming screen to look bigger than the skype one.
Did you know ps4 only supports a 2.4 wireless signal?
The xbox one supports a wireless adapter capable of 2.4 - 5.0ghz.
The ONLY next gen console to do so.

Agreed! They should do a 'people off the street' video to show how easy it is.
About half of what I watch anymore is streaming. I hope that it will show us easy was to watch more eppisodes of the shows we like. "Hey, ZappyKins, there is a new eppisode of Doctor Who availible."
Also, as good as this looks at launch. Microsoft seems to keep reworking their products and upgrading them as they go along. It will be to see the Xbox One looks in a year or two. Just look at the 360 at launch, then today with voice, search and a whole bunch of streaming apps.

one of the reasons I can't wait for this XB1 to come out... I already love the first draft it seems to be and we know it will only get better on the UI smoothness and the app integration all along the lifecycle of the box....

Yeah, MS should demo it with all their exclusives, it would tie the package together really well. The snap feature with Skype will probably be used constantly, it is alot better to be able to talk and SEE the person you are playing with/against, it will almost be back to the splitscreen days without the splitscreen :).
I would like to see how Netflix and Hulu like apps work with new UI. Will all existing 360 apps be ported day 1?
