Internet connection? That's nice, most people here have a near constant internet connection.
Loaning/Borrowing tv? We still have yet to hear news of that, but I don't have friends to loan games from.
Other shit? I've seen nothing else that would majorly stimulate me, asides from the penis point which we've yet to see.

I'm still going to wait though since mainly I just want to watch Halo 5 and a few other things, like Witcher 3 which they haven't confirmed yet. I'm pretty much going console for my cablebox in college, and saving lighter games (think TF2, SC2) for my laptop.

Loaning/Borrowing games? We still have yet to hear news of that, but I don't often loan my games if at all.
Other shit? I've seen nothing else that would majorly deter me, asides from the price point which we've yet to see.

You cannot sell the required internet connection as a positive, it is strictly bad for the consumer.
Required Konnect connection with night vision and an always on internet connection? MS's patent to monitor people viewing content using a camera and deny access if to many people are watching?
Objectively inferior specs to PS4 (if you must own a console :downs:)
No used games? How is that good for consumers in any way?

It's like something out of fucking Nineteen Eighty-Four. How can anybody defend a console which is objectively inferior to its predecessor in every way except performance?

Besides, my Xbox is unplugged from the internet 99% of the time...the One can't work for me.

Im just curious, does anyone here seriously believe that MS will be spying on you with the Kinect camera? Or is this whole 1984 conspiracy more a joke being used to make a point.

Microsoft has a horrible track record of privacy invasions and backdoor entries specifically placed there by them.
Look at Skype, it was end to end encrypted now they've specially made it capable of interception of communications at the server level.
And there's Bitlocker where they were asked by several Governments to create a backdoor entry which has in effect weakened the security.

I would no more trust microsoft with an all seeing all listening camera than I would Facebook using facial recognition.
Oh Look, Facebook already tried that.
It's bad enough that you're watched everywhere you go, I would not want another all seeing all listening camera in my phone.

The fact that the potential is there and its required to operate the machine is bad enough. Microsoft might not use it but what's to stop anybody else from breaking into XBL and doing it themselves?

Also the fact that the kinect will active try to figure out how many people are viewing the xbox and then increase the product charges based on number of people in the room is rather obnoxious too.

Absolutely nothing.
