I think MS just went overboard on cooling after what happened last time.

dude really??
if retailers didn't have stock by now I would be worried.
you think you can guarantee the shipment of over a million consoles to thousands of different locations without a hiccup in less than a week?
he was trying to blow up his youtube channel.

Someone preordered an xbone?
Sounds like a marketing stunt if you ask me

Wasn't it $400m?
Tweet him chubigans. I told him I'd buy him a new Xbox One if he gets banned.
Oh, by tomorrow for sure.
Not long. If Microsoft is smart they should only ban him until launch day, but we know they don't like people playing things early. He'll get a perma ban.

That power bring is fucking huge. Not only is the console huge, but also is its power brick. What fucking sorcery is there at Sony HQ where they can make a console smaller than the Xbox One without an external power brick?
Face it Tiger..

did anybody save the video?
I didn't expect them to remove it...
how naive of me.

Why would MS take down the video if it was?

keep fighting the good fight soldier.
also it would be awesome if banderas delivers the ps4 personally to him.
and of course free ps plus for 1 year.
You don't think Sony would take down his youtube vid?

@ people wondering why the brick is external.
It makes more sense for the consumer. Internal power supplies are not consumer replaceable. So when it dies (when not if) you *need* to send it back to them for repair. OTOH external bricks can be had for a cheap price and replaced easily. In that respect Microsoft cares a little more for the consumer.

Well obviously.
I can't imagine how that phone call would go.
"Mr. Banderas, this is Kazuo Hirai from Sony. We'd like you to do something for us. Deliver a PS4 to this no name person and help us market our console. There will be something for you in it of course.
"...What?"

Admittedly I'm not the brightest knife in the tool shed, but would this not mean online players could turn off your XBox One while playing online?

in that respect, whogivesashit.. take the time out & properly engineer a solution so that you can have Ryse up and running for 3 days and beyond with no worries.
It's why sony does Hardware primarily, and the opposite with MS.

Kinect ignores that. He was on Skype on his computer, not on his Xbox.
Lol, if he didnt sign shit like an NDA he isnt bound by anything.

I guess It was a skype call on his computer. Nobody is certain if people can turn off your system through audio from the console though.

I have seen the console it isn't very large.
If you allow it to recognize their voice signatures, I think. You'd have to go out of your way to allow that, no?

Yup. You're right it was $400m, my mistake

If you have surround sound, you're gonna have a bad time.

It's insane that kinect does what it's designed to do, only because someone through a different medium said a command...

Man, you are for a good start. First you call people retarded now this. I want a small console with no extra shit ruining my living room design. I would say Sony cares about me as consumer much more, since they provide cheaper, more powerful and better designed system. Your TV, Microwave and fridge power supplies are internal, clearly those with external are better products.

He was using a separate device in order to make a free Skype call.

Engineering something well won't prevent it from failing. Someone in an earlier post even said their power supply blew out due to a surge (even with surge suppressors/protectors it can still happen) and the same thing happened to their friend with a 360. It just makes more sense. But based on your comment it looks like haters gon' hate.

They need to hang this in the cubicle of anyone who would consider banning this guy's account for playing a game he legally obtained.

Yep.
Kinect ignores sound coming from your Xbox, including chat and skype.
It will pick up sound coming from your room as well as any separate devices in that room, including skype on a MacBook.

So why doesn't every electronic we own have a external power supply? every other company hates the consumer and microsoft is doing us a goodwill gesture with the external brick? LMFAO
It would just show you the stupidity of MS. If they ban this guy when he's actually getting the hype train rolling.......pure stupidity.
How does that matter?
A sound source can be someone else in the room, or a surround sound system. Unless voice chat will never come out from back speakers?
From today's UI video, I was under the impression that only people that have signed in could issue voice commands.
In the articles released this morning they didn't say it would actually detect the different in your voice. More that it would detect where your voice was coming from and then detect who you are visually. Don't know if this applies to all actions or just ones specific to signing in to a particular user. I could imagine scenarios where letting another person turn off the Xbox would be useful which is maybe why it heard that skype person and even though there was not a real body around it went ahead with shutting off? I'm not too worried about people in the house fucking shit up because that's par for the course, but yeah getting messed up with people over the net would be poor and probably not likely.
