Cool video, obvious PR in there too.
The size of kinect though? Damn it's huge! Makes the console look smaller when you see them side by side!

Dammit IGN, whether or not to include a headset in the box isn't a policy. It's just a simple $5 decision. Games "journalism"...give me a break.

It's not too bad. It sits lower to the ground that the original, side by side the new one looks better and more compact.

If you do an even number of 180s, you're back to where you started. Can't wait for the "always online" re-announcement.

What does he says about Ir blaster?
I mean, i heard that he said Kinect is a IR blaster, so if you like you could use the dedicated Kinect port, otherwise, if your setup requires you can use the IR out... But what does that mean?

Cool beans MS, will watch the video later.
What adapter do you need for that? Every smartphone comes with such a cable.

This box isn't going to do anything at a 4k resolution above 30fps anyway, so why does that matter?

That got me confused too. I responded that other question because I know that TIVO and devices like that use IR blasters to interact with cable boxes.

Good to see they changed their minds on including a headset.

It means the Kinect spits out IR, which can be bounced around the room and received by your cable/sat box. But, if that's not an option (maybe its out of view or something), the port on the back can have a IR cable sender plugged in, then the other end put in front of your cable/sat box.

Yes, it's great.
We don't truly know if it's mainly because of Mattrick leaving but all these good things have happened after he left, so...

Who is disappointed by this?
No one should be.

So wait. What is the Day One Edition?
I reserved mine at gamestop on day one. Is it a Day One Edition? Something tells me no. :|

Good news for Xbox customers. It looks like the headset is better quality than the ear bud on PS4.

You're a time traveler?
You get an achievement and a "Day One" logo on your controller. And you own it day one.

Wonder if my trash talk soundboard adapter will still work

That was the Day One edition in the video
Trust. What an interesting word to assign any corporation.

The Kinect is disgustingly big. Those sharp corners are really going to hurt someone.

People have a narrative to advance. You know, the "180" thing because no manufacturer has ever changed anything about the console from announcement to launch.
Forget all of the "Specifications are subject to change" disclaimers that often surround product announcements. Xbox 180 has already been canonized by GAF and this meme has to be perpetuated.
I'm guessing that is there in the event that you have a non-standard set-up (i.e. a hidden rack with components) so that you can still get the IR controls. Your regular joe will probably be ok with Kinect as their IR blaster.
Noone is.
However there are some salty fanboys that are grasping for straws, trying to brand people who are making fun of yet another 180, as "hater".

One step closer to dropping mandatory kinect
Will never understand why people don't prefer rechargables.
So much easier than trying to replace a sealed power pack like the DS3s.

You really think you will ever play a 60fps 4k game on the Xbox One? lol. You won't even get that on PS4.
And movies, (as of now) are 24fps. I don't think any current BR player does 48fps.

Oh, I think I understand now. Kinect can see the comands any IR remote sends and pass them through other boxes... Not very useful to me, but I guess it would be cool for people that want to hide their cable boxes away...

That actually makes more sense

Just because a few people make a joke on the 180 thing doesn't imply negativity, you know.
Reality is that MS did make some decisions that were less than favourable, and they're reversing it. It's good for everybody.
