lol.

At least Sony showed games.

This is a completely ridiculous argument.

1. It was known before this announcement most of the game discussion would be next month at E3

2. What they showed today is arguably MORE IMPORTANT than games. The ability to play games is just one feature.

3. They showed games...not sure what presentation you were watching.

I don't get this, you guys are still going on about them somehow not caring about gaming when they've said, a number of times, that they're going to show games at E3, you know, the big gaming show held each year?

You guys honestly thought they'd show you everything now? And then do what for E3? Give it a rest.

No its much worse, games are tied to your account and you have to pay a fee to play the game on a console not associated with the account, which means used/rental market is dead.

Plus its up to developer discretion to enable even single player games requiring an internet connection.

WTF is wrong with you people? This blew Sony's announcement out of the water.

WTF is wrong with us?? WTF is wrong with you? Is everything MS does awesome, no questions asked?

MS is forcing what they believe the future of entertainment is going to be. Perhaps they are right, perhaps they are wrong, but I can tell you my take on it, is right now they are wrong.

I want a video game console to play video games. Not do all of this other ****.

Watch a TV show and I want more information on it? I will get my iPad, Cell Phone, or laptop. I will not make the picture smaller to search on my TV instead.

Same thing with purchasing movie tickets, etc. etc. etc. I will do it all on the devices I already do it on.

About the only cool thing I saw was searching my TV guide and changing the channel with ones voice. Honestly I saw that and said "okay, that is pretty cool"

Nothing else at all made me say this is a must have device.

In fact I said the exact opposite. MS is taking a HUGE risk banking on the fact this is what people want.

So Always On finally debunked. It does not require internet connection to play games. Hopefully the trolls will find a new cause.

Blocking the used game market, it's right in this section.

As you said the problem is people already have devices and smart TVs that do all that, why do they need to compromise what they are doing on the TV by squashing the window and snapping an even smaller window to the side when they can just whip out a tablet/smartphone?

It's they way it is buddy, you can either accept it or jump ship ...

I was open minded and considered getting an xbox but I am definitely getting a PS4 now, you know to play games on not watch TV.

That's Kotaku spreading FUD as usual. They are just guessing. What's said is same as Sony/PS4.

You don't have to use any of those new features. If all you want to do is play games you can still do that. And I have never owned a Microsoft console, so no everything MS does is not awesome, no questions asked.

Yes and how many of those are Kinect titles? You know the thing that no one wants so they are forcing it on us? People wanted reassurances that MS will be focussing on gaming for the new console. What they got confirmed the company is continuing their current path of tying up COD and focussing on the American Entertainment market. Why are you surprised people are disappointed? You cant honestly say with a straight face that what they showed is exciting? Everything could be done on the current console. There was nothing compelling at all! They kept throwing out buzz words like they were talking to imbeciles.

At least Sessler said something right

Because the press is busy typing away on their laptops or taking pictures and uploading them. I saw people behind those with the laptops clapping at times on the live stream.

If you had bothered to read it's not Kotaku, it's Wired who got the first press preview of the device.... http://www.wired.com...x-one-analysis/

Kotaku merely posted parts of their analysis.

If Microsoft's main focus for the Xbox One was gaming it would be a disastrous decision for Microsoft.

Everything can be done on current consoles? You are trolling beyond belief.

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
