The media features won't work over here though will they? The interactive TV thing looks pretty good for the Americans.

waiting on the ps4 announcement. xbox one had some good features as an interactive tv, but not sold on the games
EA were their usual awful selves and posted a video of their next gen games using CGI. they did this with madden 06 on 'next-gen' see the similarities
pretty embarrassing

Indeed. I'll definitely be buying one a year or two after its release
Haha! Very sensible. I'm on my 5th Xbox 360. His the tale if anyone is remotely interested:
#1 3 Red rings - I was confused. "What is this?" I ask myself... After checking the internet I realise that my Xbox is irredeemably broken and with it, my heart. Luckily, Microsoft are oddly prepared and supportive and quickly send me a free one in exchange for my old one;
#2 3 Red rings - I am unhappy but, bouyed by the excellent service on the previous breakage, I call Microsoft again and it's much more hostile on their part but eventually I get them to replace it;
#3 3 Red rings - RAGE. I'm calm up until this point but I see the warning signs coming: games run a bit slower, the console runs louder, games crash and then it unexpectedly turns off. I press the power button... Nothing. Hmm... "Maybe it needs cooling down!" I think. At this point I'm shaking... I press the power button again. Three. Red. Rings. I let out a primal roar of unrelenting rage and smash my controller against the wall (the dent is still there I believe - the controller, alas didn't make it). I'm an absolute horror to live with for days and my call to Microsoft is colourful to say the least. The warranty is gone and with it my patience... Well kinda. I need to complete GTA IV. So...
#4 Luckily a massive price drop coincided with ma new job and a raise to I treat mymself to one last stab. And it worked like a treat. I kept it for 4 years until the Xbox slim came out and I traded it in for
#5 Utterly redeemed after hours of tender care and counselling.
I think I'll wait a while before purchasing the new one. Just in case...

I think it looks pretty good! May wait and see other offerings though, and also interested RE price as well.

Well, the spec for the Xbox One looks immense.....BUT....not being able to buy pre owned games is a bit of a piss take to be honest. I'm not a rich man, and I don't like to dump large amounts of money on games, plus I've picked up games that I wouldn't ordinarily buy because they're cheaper. The only games I ever buy brand new are FIFA, or specific ones which I've been waiting for for ages (eg, LA Noire, and Watchdogs when it comes out) Either the price of games comes down (yeah right) or I might have to rethink this whole "gaming" malarkey

Not convinced to be honest. I'll more than likely be getting the PS4 instead.

If that is true they won't get many bought by me
Microsoft need to have worked very hard on reliability, they got away with the RROD issues amongst gamers because they have a pretty high tolerance but I can imagine some serious backlash if people buy one of these things and then cant watch TV for weeks at a time if it breaks after 6 months.

The RRoD cost a fortune in support costs. It wont happen again.
Used games will be possible, more details will be released on specifics of how ownership will move from person to person as its no longer just transferring the media, because rights have to transfer too as all games will run from hard drive or be downloadable from the cloud.
Keep eyes peeled for announcements of tv partners. MS is globally working on this and already has good relations on the xbox front with sky, bbc, ch4 etc...
Much more to come at E3 where much more game content will be showcased. Looking forward to the xbox exclusive fifa ultimate team already.
