I already have a black Xbox One, but...must...have.....a....white one, too!
Knowing me, I'll probably fucking end up with both.

This seems like a fake "leak." The content seems real but it seems like it was controlled. Either way this is the first time I have ever wanted an Xbox One.
This sounds soooooooo great. I hope it isn't riddled with micro transactions.
You and I, my friend, are unpopular with this kind of thinking.Who knows. It's good new but I don't get where the megaton comments are coming from. It was pretty just release dates and another Halo and Forza (surprise!) and Crackdown 3 years now. maybe I missed something
No but I think its going to be very very focused on shooting. Therefore a shooter.
Does the X1's optical drive really cost $100? -____ -
Whats wrong with that? As long as it plays different. Crackdown has shooting and its nothing like others.
Outside of Halo 2 which is a megaton for me if they keep that MP intact is anyone really surprised by that list. It's the most by the numbers list of games possible.
I can see these announcements bumming 360->PS4 only guys.....

My train of thought is, even though these are leaks, they seem pretty legit. Why are people getting excited for these announcements though. I want new stuff. Not re hashes and an old shooter.
No Fable Anniversary for X1.

Nostalgia.Why though? More Halo/Gears/Halo/Fable and Kinect? MS' over reliance on those IPs is a reason a lot of people have jumped ship to PS. If this was a controlled leak I don't think it's having the effect they hoped
No ODD sounds like a stupid way for MS to lower the price through perceived value, even though the drive only costs them $5. "$399 XB1 without the disc drive? What a good deal!" Yeah right. Would probably bite on a $299 or $349 white XB1 in a year or two, but not without a disc drive.
Well for those of us kinda tired of shooters I can think of a whole lot thats wrong with it.
true, but i dont think people who are primarily interested in tv and media consumption would want to have a headset on all the time to be able to pause their movies or change the channel. i could be mistaken. but the kinect-less SKU doesnt make any sense to me. im guessing microsoft thinks similarly.
anyway, lots of cool info in this thread. youve got people on here trying to downplay a lot of this stuff, sure, but honestly, halo 2, and new forza horizon and crackdown have me pumped. bring them on i say
So just going off the OP, a new $399 SKU is a possibility but it has no optical drive? The hell, Microsoft? You were supposed to axe Kinect, not the ability to play discs. If this is true, Microsoft has seriously fucked up.
So this is Microsoft strategy to combat Cboat?

Percieved value? No BR drive included therefore how the hell could it be called "the all in one"?

Sounds like he actually enjoys working for microsoft and actually wants them to succeed and to remain employed. He could give out everything he knows, but then he would be in big trouble. He's more or less confirming what people were thinking outside of halo 2 anniversary and crackdown.It's pretty worrying that our new demi-god won't go out of his own way to drop some new IP bombs on us.
It's either that or there is none of note.
That's too bad. The only way I would consider an Xbox One would be if we were getting a proper Banjo-Kazooie sequel.No info/idea on what Rare's up to, sadly.
Yea pretty much...I know I'm somewhat biased towards Japanese games and RPGs but if this news is "bombs" then it just confirms I won't be needing an x1 anytime soon. Same thing for socom2 hd would love for it to happen but a system seller? I think us forum goers equate what's popular on here to real life sales. Good to see some owners happy with the rumors but this box is clearly not targeted at me...if ps4 for two years are anything like this I might vomit. So done with shooters...Halo 2 Anniversary with online would fix 1's biggest mistake in not including online for that. So that's a good news thing if true. But honestly, that isn't enough to make me buy the system. I'd rather that leaked SteamDB port of Halo 1-3 come to Steam with possible Steamworks and online play than pay for MS's new console AND online fees to play Halo 2 online again when GfWL shuts down the Halo 2 Vista port. :/
Pretty much this. Who didn't expect Halo?Or Sunset Overdirve, QB etc were already announced anyway?
The only real 'news' is Crackdown 3.in 2016
No optical disc drive model is awful, even for $100 less. That's insulting. Not to mention, I like digital games, but I still want to rent. Screw that.

That's still a thing? And no one complained about other insiders dropping bombs so I could see why he thinks of it that way. Plus, it's all good fun for us gamers."Plus, this is such exciting stuff, and me talking about it ahead of time isn't going to hurt anything, truthfully.

Pretty selfish way of looking at it. You're stealing a lot of thunder from M$'s announcements. From a marketing perspective, the logic is shit too. If you leak this info early, media is less inclined to make a big deal of it when formally announced.
crackdown 3 is not really a surprise it's been rumoured forever plus the 3 behind it ... LOL jk ...
Also Crackdown 2 was possibly the worst 360 game I ever played so unless they revamp the entire game from the ground up... yeah, it's definitely a wait and see.... also 2+ years away? we could have fallout 4 by then.
No it's quite smart. Lose a little more on the system but make it back with the higher margins on digital games.
