Last things I need:
1. Kinect in the box, but not required to run the console. Did they already confirm you can turn off the listening entirely, even so it's not looking for "Xbox On." If I need to use it, I need it OFF when the console is off.
2. A controller with an internal battery, not more of the AA battery crap.
3. Confirmation that I can buy an Xbox One controller and have it work on PC in the near future. Because damn, that thing (specifically the d-pad, is sexy).
Make it happen, Microsoft.

I always will prefer a headset. And I can say that I used the original plastic 360 headset for probably 5 years with good results (then I went to a Turtle Beach), so hopefully this one's solid as well.

Seems solid and durable too. I still will get the wireless they release later on.

Maybe some themes and gamer pics too.

Really? For gaming communication no earbuds will be better than using a proper headset.

Am I the only one whos look at this next gen with the attitude of where is there something more?
Nothing really stands out for me, the pads are pretty much the same and the consoles and features are pretty much the same??
Wii to Wii U the console was the same looking, and they even advertised it using wiimotes
PS4, black box and a playstation pad
Xbox360 to XboxONE, same pad, black box like the elite
Don't know I'm just not feeling the excitement right now

The company restructuring (and Mattrick leaving) is a good indication of probably more 180s incoming. So its about time people get used it. The joke is getting old.

I see what you mean but its always been like that. There was more groundbreaking things last gen.
Couldn't tell you without using either.

Without kinect attached

I always assumed the console will turn on without the Kinect attached, but I thought the OS refused to function if it wasn't plugged in? That's the impression I got anyway.

When they say it requires it for the system to function they don't mean power too lol. It will most likely say to plug the kinect.
No, you're not the only one. I'm sure my excitement will grow as the year moves on but right now I'm not as pumped as I usually am leading up to a new generation.

Obviously none of us will know which is better until the consoles launch but personally I think the PS4 headset looks like junk.
At least it's better than nothing.

All they gotta do is get beats by dre signed up and stick a logo on the side and it will be far cooler

I doubt it. You will probably be able to chat 1 on 1 like xbox live silver on 360.

the playstation headset just looks like itll snap right outta the pad (not for normal people, not for me, but so many people go crazy when they play games, but hey thats their problem) i also would dislike the feeling of the mic controls tugging at my ear and weighing down. i hate that feeling with the xbox 360s revised headsets, i hate it on my pcs usb headset. hate hate
the xbox one headset looks cushy on the ear at least and im glad they finally showed it can go on either side of your head. all pictures showed it being on the right side, i much prefer left

How? is bigger better? Would you say that all headphones better than IEMs? This train of thought that if something has more plastic that means its better is so weird.
That being said, who knows which one will have better quality.

Great news. Added value to the over all package. Some of you are salty are as hell, and for no good reason.
You'd think that Microsoft had started taking PR lessons from Monster, with that HDMI cable description!

More like Apple.
It's about the size of the original 360 with a slim power block. Not as big as some want you to believe
Wise move.
Just watched the video. I really can't stand Larry. Sorry.
lol, why do some people dislike Larry? Wasn't he one of the guys responsible for making xbox live what it is today?
Will probably run cooler and quieter than PS4.

No way of knowing...we haven't heard both or tried both yet.
If the headset is crappy I'd rather have an earset... Personally some headsets give me headaches...
It's way to early to say. I'll be using a high end headset either way.
*sigh* Uninformed strikes again. There is so much more to cooling than a unnecessary brick. Again we don't know. PS4 might have it all right. Small form factor, quite and cooler because it doesn't have the (ESRAM) to deal with. I think they'll be the same noise level honestly. The PS4 uses "proven" hardware, so they have a better understanding of what to expect.
I swear, after release we will have at least one thread where people will compare the haptic quality of both bundled HDMI cables to see which one is superior.
Ehhh not really. It's quite a bit bigger. It's not insanely huge or anything, but its definitely bigger than a 360.

huh? It seems half the size of the original 360 brick.

10% at most
theres a MS dude on here that said so. it also looked smaller then its ever seemed in the unboxing
It looks almost exactly the same as the original except with a black coat of paint and a better dampener for the mic.
I won't agree. People use earbuds all the time when they are out and about. People are used to them. They aren't used to little earmuffs on one side of their head--unless you work at a call center or are on the show Workaholics.
That said, it really comes down to the quality.
I have no issue with earbuds nor do I have any issues with half a headset.
Cheap?
As someone who has used the PS3 Bluetooth headset exclusively, I'll have no issues with using the one-ear headset for the PS4.
I wasn't talking about the brick.
What about it? Should they have put more plastic on it? Is a lightweight headset that gets out of your way a bad thing?
Yeah, everybody's ears are different. The 360 headset really hurt my ears after awhile. For some people earbuds are more comfortable, and vice versa for others. One is not inherently better than another.
i was just thinking that a headset would generally be less irritating to people because its not actually going into your ear and you can at least adjust the band for comfort.
but fine. you win. those ps3 bluetooth headsets were irritating to my ears too lol
Well they could at least have added some basic cushioning to the ear bud. The picture above looks ridiculously cheap (and more importantly, uncomfortable).
