    Haha this doesn’t make the Xbox One any better xD

    This headline is extremely misleading and creating false fears. Plus Microsoft has already stated that you can turn the Kinect completely off. It only has to be connected to the system I believe.

    Sweet! Score one for the little guy!
    Now either do away with the $60/year fee to play online or drop the console price by $100 and we should have some pretty even competition.

    I knew they were gonna have to do something. I read hundreds of reviews for XBO, and at least 75% of them were something to the effect of “PS4 here I come!”.

    Do you think the initial sting of it all will still have a negative impact on some folks? If I were going to buy one of them, I would still choose PS4. Microsoft kind of shot themselves in the foot in my mind. They greedily went for as much as they could get, and only when they got push back from the community dialed it back. Sony was like “this sounds fair, cool?” from the get-go. Plus it’s still a lot cheaper than XBO.

    Thank you Sony PS4 for opening Microsoft’s eyes!

    “Sources: Microsoft to remove software from Xbox One that records user movements”

    Might want to change that headline. There was never going to be “software” on the Xbox One that recorded user movements. Trying to get that hit counter up?

    Today’s announcement concerned the always-on Internet requirement, sharing games, and used games.

    Wasn’t considering upgrading my 360 until this announcement. But I think backwards compatibility is still an issue for me. So I’ll probably stick with my 360. Not enough new stuff I’m interested in to justify the price.

    This was expected. The real test will be whether or not the new Kinect is made into an optional piece of equipment rather than a requirement for normal operations with non-Kinect games. Some say “cover the camera” but this thing also has six microphones and can detect your pulse. I don’t like it.

    this is positive news!! Not too crazy about having the Kinect always on but that’s a totally different story.

    M4d Ski11z, you do realize that this is a Trojan Horse right? If it was this easy to turn these features off, then it’s easy to turn them back on at a later date, even individually. They could be doing this to pump up sales to lock the customers into the product…..just to turn them on at a later date. (See Sony’s Backward compatibility policy). I don’t buy it yet…
