Popular Mechanics: Xbox One is one of the 10 Breakthrough Products of 2013

That's one of the things I love about my wife. When she wakes up in the morning and I'm still gaming (having pulled an all-nighter), she usually says something like, "Aww honey you're still playing? That's cute." Then she'll walk over kiss me on the head and says she's glad I can still get in touch with my inner kid. It happens almost every time. LOL.
LOL then your a lucky person because its not much luck for me LOL. Dont get me wrong I dont go to bars or hang out at night, but when she is off I so am I LOL
 
Oh man, you guys are making me happy that the live in girl friend thing is years in my rear view mirror.

Why just last night I felt up a girls boobies that I had never touched before.

Where the hell did you find her at mate? Oz? lol.

In my dreams! lol. But I love my wife dearly. I'd cut through heaven and earth for her. But then again, it could be me that wakes up with her watching new episodes of Desperate Housewives on Netflix well into the morning and wearing out my new Kinect. In which case I'll say, "Wow!.....Really?! Seriously?!?.....Wow!"

I didn't "find" her. God gave her to me. ;)

See? This is where an Always online mode would quite literally work for wives. I could just download the "less sarcasm" app and she would wake up and say something like, "Wow?!...Really?! I'm so proud of you boo! You've been gaming all night?! That's Awesome!"

I am quite interested in the 3D scanner. I wonder its good enough to make figurine with high dense 3D models. Not to sound bullist, but I think I am a rather decent modeller.
 
nice

No contest on the tech end. Popular Mechanics usually goes for advances into newer territory, not whether the hardware has the best specs.

I could see the Xbox One's Kinect features moving a lot of units if it gets a lot of press like this.

As a piece of tech it is fairly impressive for sure, it's the gaming aspects that are undetermined..but unfortunately it seems a lot of gamers only look at Kinect as a motion gaming device and nothing more.
 
LOL My wife has come up a few times in the past and found me gaming still at 3 am..gives me s*** every time

My husband's gamertag is "a4AMZombie" so what does that tell you? My daughter used to laugh because his weekend morning routine was wake up, grab coffee, go in den and play Oblivion and this was usually way before the rest of us woke up!

Wish I had a wife that understanding about gaming lol.

Honestly, as long as the more simpler functions work (i.e. voice and motion gestures) the way they should, that's a BIG deal for me. It could literally be all the difference from Kinect 1.0 and Kinect 2.0 and next gen consoles in general. Nearly every review or video I've read or seen states that these two primary functions are no longer a concern, and that the tech works as Microsoft intended. That's HUGE mate.
 
Cool. PM has pretty good taste in things, which is why I still have my subscription. Though that Seikei TV shouldn't be mentioned if its the SE50UY4 model. That TV sucks ass outside of it's 4K resolution; horrible levels, s***ty blacks, balls viewing angles, and screen uniformity sucks the camels ass.

waiting on comment like the Toys R Us on Youtube. Because PS4 didnt make the list LOL

I don't think they'll be too upset, apparently PS4 made TIME magazine's yearly "most influential product" list for 2013 (360 made the list in 2005).

GadgetShowLive @ Christmas = Time Magazine?
 
It may be linked to Time, I've no idea. I checked out their website and the original PR article at Gamasutra and couldn't find any connection mentioned to the magazine though, so I asked.

I agree with Popular Mechanic's description of the platform and tis tech. Good to see the new Kinect and its integration getting the credit it deserves.
 
Blue: I didn't see this thread! Just outright delete that thread instead of locking it.

Flipping through that PM article, that TV looks great. I don't care about 3D and any of those tacked on features. I just want a good TV with enough input/outputs to hook up all my gaming/audio/cable box gear. I've never used any fancy features on my TV. lol

Good to see PM acknowledge X1's innovative features. It goes beyond cpus and gpus. If it was all about specs, then the best PC specced rig would be the gaming gagdet to get every year.

Agreed 100%. It's all about the experience. And Xbox One is bringing many great and innovative experiences into "One" device.
 
The Xbox One is the breakthrough product of the decade. With the power of the cloud the potential is endless.

Shoot I catch my wife pulling all nighters on madden and call of the dead,she loves Buffy. When I pulled that stuff she would get mad. Then came GTA5. I can barley get on my console. I like doing things she would d when I would be on a zombie allnighter. It gets her so mad.

I wish my wife gamed, would make things easier lol
 
I don't see the revolutionary part.

Evolutionary, sure, but revolutionary? Don't see it.
 
If the Kintect works like they say it will work...how can you not see it.
