Hey guys,

I was just reading over on N4G that the xbox one will be able to play the playstation 4 through it's HDMI in with very little lag. Yet you will still get to use the X1 features like Skype and voice command's while playing the playstation 4, that got me thinking.
With the 360 not being backward compatible, why not just connect it straight to your xbox one. You will be able to play your 360 games and easily use the voice command to exit out of the game and join your friends online with a X1 game titles. What other things can you do with that HDMI in port now?

yeah but why lose the TV feature just to play old 360 games? Don't your TV have multiple inputs?

Exactly I was thinking the same thing.

If you were to connect your 360 through the HDMI I think you would be the type of person that likes video games more than live TV. I know personally I will be connecting my TV through it, but if you don't have cable TV and watch all your stuff online, it would make a good use of the Xbox and it's features.
 
I still don't get why anyone would do that though? If someone could explain why it's a cool feature?
 
I think it would be cool because you could still get to use all the X1's features.

Say you could be playing Killzone and one of your friends on Xbox sends you an invite to play Forza, you will still get that invite while playing the PS4 and can still use the voice command to stop playing Killzone and jump right into a game on Forza.
 
Once you get an XBone the 360 becomes at netflix box you hook to your second tv.

I have to imagine going though the xbone will introduce more lag something that should be avoided.
 
Have they said how easy it is to use the same profile on both consoles?
 
I thought that the obvious universal shortening of Xbox One was XO? No? I guess I overestimated the intelligence of mankind.

I cringe every time I read "xbone".
