I'm starting to wonder if you will be able to trade in your mortal soul for this console.
Well, it looks fantastic but the in car view looks near unusable with all the reflections, and they haven't got the steering wheel animated beyond 270 degrees or so still.

e: How far do you have to be from the Kinect sensor to make it work? This could cause issues with the fact that I have a dedicated racing wheel setup about 3 feet from the TV (although the TV is on a telescopic wall mount with 1 and a half feet from the wall) and behind the racing seat is my bed.

I hope stuff like Kinect headtracking for Forza is selectable. I used it at a friend's house and it felt very unnatural.

You know what, gently caress it. I'm going to eat the 600 bucks and get an xbone anyway. Someone will play Forza with me. I'll jack off into the kinect every day so Bill Gates himself can watch it.

Definitely not going to work. The new one does not have the proprietary wireless controller interface the old one had, supposedly it's now using WiFi Direct, so nothing exclusively wireless will work. Wired gamepads could technically work since nothing significant changed on the input side, only a new shape and some extra FFB on the triggers, but I doubt they'll be supported.

The only Xbox 360 input device where there's any real chance of support is the Fanatec wheels, probably only the CSRs. Those use the proprietary wireless for 360 connections currently, but they have USB for PC and PS2/3 so if MS was to allow it a firmware update could probably add support. Thomas from Fanatec seems to think its at least possible, so we'll see.

That's a genius move by Microsoft. I can't wait for the christmas morning tweets by shitbags complaining that their lovely parents bought the wrong loving xbox because they are loving retard assholes and life isn't fair. Jimmy wanted a new xbox and this one cost 400 dollars less and it has a higher number so that seems like a pretty good deal.

Crazy poo poo went down last night. Superannuation, a pretty well known leaker who has a really good rep posted a leaked manual about XBone that can be found in a paste bin here

The most important one for us, wired 3rd party controllers will possibly work on XBone. So your Fanatec could be on the table for Forza 5.

How easy is it really? Would racing in a public lobby with dilz on my car get me banned from xbl or just forza? Or would I need to be involved with modding the console?

I mean that's loving bullshit losing paid for games if banned from the service, but if banning only happens from modding I wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Also in general, what's stopping us from just unplugging the Kinect or just the whole console from the mains when it's not in use? Makes it a lot less intrusive if you're worried about that sort of thing

I'm assuming that it'll be one of those pop ups that come up when your controller dies: "Please plug the Kinect back in, or else."

Honestly can't wait for when Kinect 2.0 breaks and then the console won't function unless you buy a new one, but then, surprise! There's none in stock!

It's like this for Xbox 360 too, any digital games are gone forever if your account is banned. This scares me, because if there is one thing Microsoft is consistent with, it's banning people and they do it often. Now granted the chances of it happening to any of us are next to zero, but still, what Microsoft will ban you for is pretty strict.

Q: Can you replace the hard drive on Xbox One?

I'm pretty sure it's been stated that it's internal, not sure if it will be easy to replace. MS did at least did confirm that you can hook up any external USB HDD. So you can just get a 2TB jump drive and call it a day in terms of having storage space.

I get the feeling though that MS's policy on the Xbone will be one of 'if anything goes wrong you must send it in to be repaired.'

Cock It!

And will still be the same for Xbone, however if your account gets banned its just banned from going online.
As long as the Xbone is not always on then you will still be able to at least play your games.

Oh, just realized what I said there.

(To be fair to Microsoft we dont really know how the offline part will work, do you have to be connected to Live or just online checking in)

Anyone have any suggestions on how to score this? I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with the people who only did one of the tracks and not both. Also a way to tally up points per club?
