For those of you who aren't aware, the new xbox will be revealed in the next 30 minutes (1pm est time). I'm a little confused about the code name(s). Is it Infinity? Is it 720? What's the deal with that. Also I've been hearing rumors that its going to be an on-all-the-time system meaning it can't operate without broadband (internet) service. I would hate that oh so much since I already don't like the fact that SpOps operates the same exact way. Whatever the case would you buy it if it functioned like that?--Killamint [Comm|Files] 12:29, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

So Steven Spielberg is directing a Halo TV Series...--Spartacus TalkContribs 13:52, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

So far, nothing spectacular about the Xbox One. The novelty wears off pretty quickly I would expect. Bonnie Ross has a good figure (dayum!). — Destiny sign.pngDESTINY 14:03, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

I scratched out what I said earlier since its only a rumor and is hard to tell based on the presentation. @Spartacus: I guess it was gonna come sooner or later. Based on the Halo Movie article, Spielberg was interested in the project. Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn was the beginning. Now where/when the story will take place and who it will be centered around is another question. @Hacame: I disagree with you. I actually like the new features of it. Being able to switch between tv/movie/game seems pretty cool and useful. Voice commands are a plus as well. Also being able to surf the net while watching tv at the same time means I don't have to grab for my laptop while watching tv. Also the graphics look great. So it may not seem spectacular to you, but to me, I'm very impressed. Now I don't care much about that fantasty crap but everything else, I give a thumbs up. So yes, I will be looking out for Xbox One. As far as purchasing it as soon as it comes out, that I don't know.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 14:19, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

For me, features such as motion wear off quite fast. You'll end up surrendering to the remote. At the same time, due to my unfortunate location of limited internet connectivity, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the online features as much as those in America (then again, it is aimed for the American public than global). As always, I'll wait out for Xbox One-point-Five (or Xbox Two or Xbox One Slim/S)... because we all know there'll be issues with the launch product (and it will be smaller!). ;) — Hacame 14:24, 21 May 2013 (EDT)
