Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft gives select Xbox One owners a glimpse of the future

"a glimpse of the future" = system update?

I can give you a glimpse of the future by farting, but I wouldn't write it as a headline.

You know what would be a nice update for Microsoft? If Microsoft updated the drivers in Windows to be compatible with the X1 controller! If they did that, I would gladly go out and buy the controller and give them money, but no... :(


They never did that with Xbox 360 controllers, at least not wireless ones with play n play wired attached.  Kind of annoyed me I had 2 360 wireless controllers already but had to buy a third wired controller to use it on PC. (the wireless adapters for wireless controllers are more expansive than a wired controler...).

MS came out with a dongle for the wireless controllers.  I use it at home all the time.

I'm actually very interested in illumiroom. It's something that could be a deal sealer for me if its done right.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

A public beta for a system update? That's new. Wonder if it's the start of a tradition, or if this update just has a lot of iffy things.


New?  they've been doing it with the 360 for years.

For overhauls with a new ui yeah, but they did that with general updates too?

Illumiroom if cheap enough, could be a game changer. Easy way to cheapen it up, is to make The projection system a add on to Kinect. This way people could slide it together and the only piece they would be paying for is the projection. I think this would be genius.

Yes that is just what X1 needs:  More peripherals forced on people that further drain the performance of the console.

Or just get rid of the kinect completely and bundle illumiroom . We don't need kinect, there is a controller and media remote now. :D 

The media remote uses the Kinect IR Blaster. The remotes useless without Kinect.
