The Xbox One also comes with Kinect. That right there most likely drove up the price.
:(
Someone have a good stream that isn't lagging? Ugh... :(
Star Wars: BattleFront + DICE + Frostbite 3 =

Disco zombie! :D
It was definitely a LOT better than their previous conferences. The price kind of killed it for me though. If it was $399-449 that would have been right on the money. Sadly I think the bundled Kinect drove the price up.
They showed games, which they said they would do and delivered. So that was a positive. Barely any talk of TV and only bits of awkward moments on stage.
My overall grade: B-
If they could just make online mutli-player gaming free to Silver members that would be perfect. The apps and what-not even though they should be free anyway, could be exclusive to Gold members.
Free online multi-player is a must and should be the norm for MS at this point. Damn shame really.
To tell you the truth, they really are making this complicated. I'm sure for those who are Xbox hardcore won't really have that much trouble trying to adjust to the new changes. But for say a person who has never had an Xbox or game console I feel all of these restrictions and rules will make it hard for them to use the console because all they wanted to do was to buy, play, and share their games and not have to go through all this DRM, kinect/internet required nonsense.
Highest rated game of the year so far.
Congrats Naughty Dog! My goodness, these guys truly are amazing.
I now sit my 360 horizontally because for some reason the disc tray won't open when vertical. Guess it won't matter now since it's slot-loading.
I was just joking around! lmao damn!

True. But Major Nelson has already said they'll announce the full plethora of games come E3 and during today's press conference it was announced that they were going to show 15 exclusives, 8 of which will be brand new.
Take it as you wish.
EDIT: lol disagree. I guess what I said was false then. smh
lol Wait till E3 ladies and gentlemen. MS made that quite clear long before the press conference started.
The press conference though wasn't that great. Could have been better. Too much talk of TV.
It's only "a little late" because Sony announced the PS4 first. Had MS revealed they were going to show off their console in May a lot earlier, people would be more calm about it.
But since everyone was so hyped after the PS4 announcement (me included) everyone was like, "OMG WHERE IS MS? THEY HAVE TO SHOW OFF NOW OR THEY'RE DOOMED!"
The event will most likely be streamed via the Xbox Live Event Player app on your Xbox. The live event app is free to silver members and does not require a gold subscription.
Hope that helps.
Alan Wake 2! Crackdown for next-gen consoles would also be quite amazing (CD2 was just a fat disappointment. Not surprised really since I heard Ruffian only had like 1 year or so to develop the title and MS rushed them a bit).
But as Jek_Porkins stated above, I'm not expecting much games to be announced come May 21st as MS already stated they will show off their full line-up come E3. Some teasers during the Xbox reveal would definitely be good though!
8:45AM? That's damn early. Usually it starts at like 11AM (PST time for me).
The earlier the better I guess.
Why did Gamesradar feel the need to write an article that was done over a month ago? This is old news.
In any case, I look forward to seeing what Remedy will reveal this year. I do hope it's a sequel to Alan Wake because that game still is amazing. One of my favorite games of 2010!
Sure thing.

See'ya on the other side buddy.
Never thought I'd say this about a Sony press conference, but man I'm so underwhelmed right now. I still have faith though! Come on Sony, drop the megaton!
