There had been alot of complaints that 100 was too small, yet i dont think they wanted it to be unlimited friends so in a way its reasonable. But your right i imagine a large chunk of players only have a dozen or so friends.
I did not know this and that sounds awesome. I love the feature that you can use to bring up facebook or other chat related stuff while playing a game.
I think it only works if you dont fully shut off the xbox however i think if it only ever goes to its resting state every game will save by just you closing it, similar to how mobile games work.
This...people keep making it out as it will be Kinect only games and dismiss the little things that it can do. I really like what they are already doing with BF4(if it works properly) and being able to scan yourself and put yourself into a game is pretty cool also. Kinect is going to be huge.
It's been said by Microsoft that the Xbox one will only use 14 watts in its standby power state. Apparently that's 5 cents US a day at current energy rates, or $18.25 (or 11.43 GBP at current conversion rates) a year if it's always left in standby mode. To be clear, the standby power state is when it is listening for "Xbox On'
