    Can't see anything in the videos that would have me dashing out to get an XBone - yes, it's all very clever and all...

    Re: Wossie announcement - methinks there is a hint of desperation in this "announcement". And since when did he become an expert in what we, the punters, want from games? I'd be more interested if it was someone like Jason Bradbury from the Gadget Show to be honest. As it stands, this strikes me as an empty "celebrity endorsement" nothing more. Also noteworthy that Sony don't seem to feel the need to do the same...

    Pretty much, yup.

    Not sure I'll buy the Sony either, but the Ross announcement reduced whatever minimal chance there was of me buying the XBO, to considerably less than minimal. If I had been planning on buying, it would certainly have made me reevaluate that. All they need to do now is recruit Brand and it absolutely seals the XBO as an XBnono for me.

    +1 on that absolutely.

    This might backfire a bit on Microsoft - comments like "oh, so it's a 'meeja' box that also can play games?" along with Microsoft's emphasis on the media hub could lead to wrong perceptions - e.g. the reason that they're bigging up the media aspects is that the PS4 is the better games console.

    Just wish someone would do an XBox style controller for the PS4 - that'd make me look at it seriously.
