Looks great has some brilliant functions and features, it's going to sell st loads.

Bring us something that more than 5 people who live outside the USA care about!

NFL is on board? Ho. Lee. Sheet.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

Sony must be stting kittens. On a side note, it does look a bit like a Ferguson Video Star VHS player.

This doesn't look like football to me.

My first thought as well!

Looks like an integral Kinect as well

No it comes with it but is separate to the "box"

When they say "Football", think about football. Or F1. Or something else. Hopefully a Youview app will be produced early on.

IF only they teamed up with Bernie and brought us exclusing F1 now that would have been a huge game changer!

Was interesting to see footage of the original Xbox launch, Bill pulls a cloth off a crappy old xbox et voila!

If this CoD is nothing like BF where you can blow st up, fly and drive stuff then I simply do not care at all.

My predictions (so you can point and laugh when they’re wrong …)

• The name is just ‘Xbox’
• We will see hardware designs today
• Kinect v2 as standard – it’s no longer an optional extra purchase
• Emphasis on cloud connection – but you can still play games offline
• Blu-Ray drive
• Multiple Xbox models at different price/spec points
• All games to be available as downloads on release day, not boxed discs with downloads released later
• Lots of chat about Xbox being the living room hub – one box to rule them all (press invites say ‘games, TV and entertainment’)
• HDMI in socket(s) for passing your TV signal (cable/Sky) via the Xbox (enabling recording, overlaid chat widgets, etc)
• There will be game demos and franchise announcements – EA Sports have announced that they have ‘news’ today
• Nothing like Illumiroom – that’s still just a blue-sky research project

Ah well, I could’ve done worse …

Still got E3 to come. I note there's no confirmation of whether it's always online or if it will play used games

So they spent all that time and effort on a new engine and avoided the one thing that makes CoD seem so dated and ste now....

Having your parentage and sexuality questioned by a 12 year old American has never been more immersive!

How you spend your weekends is your business! I will get the new CoD if only to complete my series but urgh come on guys BF has moved the game on, we want dynamic buildings, multi vehicle piloting not just some great story by some guy I've never heard of.

No mention of backwards compatibility which is a good thing in my books.

No backwards compatibility (good IMO), and they'll continue to sell 360 alongside it (presumably they've got a few warehouses full of them to get rid of). Sounds good to me.

[trooperiziz]

No more pre-owned or second hand games, as feared.

PS4 for me then, assuming they don't do the same.
