Xbox Done Discussion - 2016's #1 Master Race Bottom Bitch

Again though, its not just that THIS guy said it, its that a lot of sources are saying it as well.

Its is still a rumor, and either people in the industry are just running with it to have something to talk about, or there is truth in this.

But yeah, I know A LOT of things get talked about internally that never see the light of day.

Im sure in a meeting someone could have been like "we should do always on line!" And someone else would be like "stfu, thats stupid" just like on here, lol.

They arent getting to Leroy status yet are they?

[octopus]

Are there really that many so called "Sony fags" in this thread anyway? I didn't get the impression myself for that response to get posted here.

Again, this topic the other day went from BG to my wall, some are posting, others are staying low key but reading.

Only thing that makes sense is they're not straight debunking the rumor cause when they finally do unveil the box, all eyes will be on them cause of this. Free publicity is free, and they pretty much have the golden ticket to make sure the entire game world, and then some, are watching. Now, this would backfire if there unveiling is worse then sonys, but I'm sure they're working on that.

[Deader2818]

I guess people like myself are just confused since it seems like this was mostly on your facebook and not on this thread, lol.

Highly likely lol. Then again, I throw darts in the dark too. There may be some dick head that I dont even know that was thinking of being a dip shit at some point.

Arbitrarily and preemptively spraying niggas is something I do from time to time as well. Plus, they are gone from this thread now but werent on FB earlier.

One could hope. Oh I agree, but its sort of their policy, which I never understood. I understand not giving legs to a good story or bad story, but still a dumb as fuck strategy.

Yes and no, you can work with your docs offline and they will be synced when you go back online

or something like that

[dejet]

So it's like Google docs but with Microsoft office functions? Or is there more to it.

I know it's a derail but if never even seen this office 365.

[Ratatapa]

Microsoft is investing in TV in a big way with its next Xbox console as part of a fight for the living room. Multiple sources familiar with the company's Xbox plans have revealed to The Verge that Microsoft will introduce a feature that lets its next-generation console take over a TV and set-top box in a similar way to Google TV. We understand that the next Xbox will require an online connection to use the entertainment services, allowing them to be always-on for streaming and access to TV signals.

"Very similar to Google TV, but with Xbox gaming"

The functionality will work by taking a cable box signal and passing it through to the Xbox via HDMI, allowing Microsoft's console to overlay a UI and features on top of an existing TV channel or set-top box. We're told that this is a key part of the next-generation Xbox and that it will go a step further than Google's TV implementation thanks to Microsoft's partnerships with content providers. Extended support for various cable services will be rolled out gradually, but the basic functionality will be available at launch.

Coupled with this TV functionality, Microsoft's next-generation Kinect sensor will also play a role in the company's TV focus. The Verge has learned that the next Kinect will detect multiple people simultaneously, including the ability to detect eye movement to pause content when a viewer turns their head away from a TV. Microsoft is said to be using these capabilities as part of its UI and features for its TV plans.

"Xbox TV set-top box still in the works"

Microsoft recently announced its plans to sell its Mediaroom IPTV business to Ericsson. The sale moves Microsoft away from supporting and helping build out software that's used in over 22 million set-top boxes worldwide. It's also part of an effort by Microsoft to focus fully on its Xbox console for entertainment apps and TV services. We're told that the company is still planning to introduce its own low-cost "Xbox TV" set-top box, but that this will likely debut early next year rather than alongside the next-generation console.

Microsoft is currently planning an Xbox event for May where we expect the company to detail parts of its next-generation Xbox. A spokesperson for Microsoft refused to comment on this story.

Meh... I'd rather they work directly with the cable providers and make the console replace the set top box. Just let it have cablecard support.

[Grey Jorildyn]

Cable providers are all in cahoots. That'll never happen.
