    Xbox One finally arrives!!

    New Xbox One is finally here. Looks more like HTPC box than console is meant to work with cable providers unknown at this time.

    [B]Processor and graphics:[/B] as rumored, a heavily customized AMD chip that combines an eight-core CPU, a GPU tailored for DirectX 11.1 graphics and 32MB of high bandwidth embedded ESRAM memory. The 28nm chip will consume around 100 watts, which is slightly higher than current Xbox Slim and PS3, but Microsoft promises noise from the cooling fans will be "four times quieter."

    [B]System memory:[/B] a Sony-rivaling 8GB of RAM, although it'll be DDR3 instead of the PlayStation 4's GDDR5.

    [B]Audio and video:[/B] 1080p and 4K both supported; 7.1 surround sound.

    [B]Kinect:[/B] This will be bundled with the console and contain 250,000-pixel infrared depth sensor as well as a regular 720p web cam.

    [B]Storage and media:[/B] a 500GB hard drive of unknown speed plus a Blu-ray / DVD combo drive that will be used as little as possible. We're told disc-based games will be ripped to the HDD automatically.

    [B]Connectivity:[/B] HDMI 1.4 output and passthrough; a "few" USB 3.0 ports; gigabit Ethernet; plus, three separate 802.11n radios to allow the console to communicate with its controller (over a form of WiFi Direct) as well as other devices

    I've read rumors of a watermark which only allows the game to be played on one xbox.
    They did say this could also be left open to game developers to opt out of, but we'll have to wait and see..

      I was watching this live yesterday, and i most say this is going to be a good entertainment box. They did not reveal everything but i did like the live sport interactive within your game and real life game when it comes to NFL. This box combined with microsoft interactive thecnology such as kinect, can really do fancy stuf:)

        Theyll have to tread very carefully around the DRM issue, or they could lose a lot of customers.
        If people are forced into buying new games, effectively killing off the second hand game market, people will just switch to one of the other games consoles.
        Either that or the hackers will find ways around the problem.

          MS don't want just a game console they want a entertainment hub they are in
          talks with cable companies in usa so that it becomes a stb as well but if they
          concentrate their efforts in this direction will the gaming part suffer? Also with
          regards to used games they want to charge a fee, 'activation and registration'
          that is what they are calling it but to me it is still making money out something
          they already have sold, it's like me buying a cake then if I offer a slice of cake
          to a friend they will also have to pay the cake seller for the privilege of eating it.

            It's amazing how sony and ms went 180 degrees. Xbox was always seen as core gaming machine where PS3 was seen as media hub. In past years xbox though had much higher sales than ps3, and now with new reveal both went 180 degree, ms wants entertainment hub, sony presented ps4 as gaming console. Personally I think ms did the right thing and sony went into wrong direction but time will tell when we get closer to christmas and all cards will be revealed.
