Again you make no sense, where did I say remove the Kinct portion of the box?
Are you honestly going to say/think that the box couldn't operate without the add on?
And if M$ truly made the box where it would not work without some tacked on gimmick then they are more foolish than you presume to be.
That would be like making a car not start because the electric windows burned out and won't roll down, that is utterly stoopid.

@McScroggz
First of all why would they take it out, there are some people that want the Kinect.
Second, do you seriously think the channel changing feature wouldn't work with the controller? Really??
Wow just wow.
If you think that then M$ isn't moving forward they are moving backward.
@ McScroggz
Wow you're really going to go there?
seriously, do you really believe that B.S?
If i'm not mistaken the Xbox One-80 was built from the very beginning with the features that just got removed as well.
Please tell me you're not that naive.

How is that a short sighted plan?
By mandating Kinect you have limited the consumer's choice and in effect forced him/her to spend $100.00 more on something they don't want.
Besides that If Kinect is so great then why does the overwhelming majority NOT want it?
If it's so great it should sell itself, it shouldn't be force on the consumer, if you want it then by all means buy it but why would you want to force it on...
If they are smart they would in the form of removing the mandatory Kinect.
Make it seperate Sku's one with ($469.00)
One without ($399.00)
Let the consumer make their own choices and don't force it on them.
They are moving n the sane direction but they still need to get rid of the mandatory Kinect, which will in turn the lower the price.
So If DRM and Internet connection is no longer needed does that mean it is no longer a requirement for the disk to be installed?
If so that would get rid of another issue i have with it.
At this point I'm still not going to get one at launch, I'll stick with the PS4 and 8 games I have on pre-order, M$ needs to pa...

Reading comments here,other gaming sites, FB,Twitter and even Yahoo news fro crips sake it seems more like 3/4 of it's 360 users, myself being one of them.
GAWD! Please don't give those idiots any ideas, even if it's a joke.
"its protagonist will not have the trademark Australian accent."
If it's a trademark then why ditch it?
In our next Star Wars game we are going to use a billy club instead of a light saber.
"However, the game will still be using the famous Ford Falcons that was used in the original movie and also it will be set in the Outback."
OK set in the outback but no Aussie accent? hmm....
Also, most game...

And you'll kick yourself when (for whatever reason) you can't connect to the internet and all you have is a $500.00 DVD player....
More of the same but this time with a Dog....
Good tips, thanks.
Great game BTW.
Too late....
It damn sure ain't doing it any favors....
Sorry but designing the console to NOT work without Kinect tells me otherwise.
How come all of these articles start with " Microsoft defends Xbox One's..."
Here's the thing, if you are on the defensive it means you aren't winning. ;)
The simple statement of "Our Policy" and "We'll release it in a few weeks" tells me you don't have the gamer in mind.
For me the biggest issue was always the mandatory surveillance system called Kinect, which in turn adds $100+ to the overall cost of the console, followed by their draconian Used/rented/borrowed/DRM issue, then the 24hr check in and lastly game installs which now may or may not be an issue since last night's announcement, I'd like further clarification on that one.
The indie thing wasn't that big of a deal to me personally because I rarely bought any indie games b...
