can the Kinect be disabled? i dont want that shit watching me 24x7

You can go in a turn it off in menu some how. Just can't remember where I saw it.

I saw a mount for it at gamestop the places it on top of my TV that has a privacy screen you can flip down. I think it was like $19. That may be an option.

Reasoning is sound, I'll buy your old used xbox one.

LOL, thanks for stepping up for me.

You don't even have to have it plugged in.

What's the big deal on the new service? I know now you have to pay. Microsoft has been doing it longer so hard to beat experience I guess.

I ordered an XBOX One off of Amazon a few days ago, mainly because I have always had an XBOX. Haven't owned a Playstation since the PS2, but the PS4 kinda has me thinking about returning the XBOX for one.

What is everyone's thoughts on the latest with the Playstation Now service?

I did a little research, and while the PS4 is more powerful, there really isn't any reason the games should look better on it than an XBOX (outside of BF4), all I hear about is how cross platform games will look different.

I guess I had convinced myself that paying the extra $100 for all the other stuff an XBOX does is worth it, but with the announcement of the Playstation Now service, it got me to thinking.

This^ Cause even my old kinect picked up words that sounded like xbox and it would pause the movie or something.

How does it work if you have a home theater w/ receiver?

[petyweestraw]

Yeah well my Xbox wouldn't work with TV lol. Its a proscan and that wasn't on the list I guess so it still has to be turned on manually. Voice commands are really cool. I Need to redo it as its a bit glitchy. Plus the sensor is to close to my speakers cus anything that sounds like Xbox that comes thru throws it into listen mode

I love mine... Has few more things to work out but it is turning into an awesome little machine.

Voice commands rock. I will still use a remote, but when walking in a room and to get my projector etc warmed up it's nice to just say "xbox on". Walk back into the room real quick "watch tv" .... "watch fox" while cooking dinner. Then you can use the play/pause commands while eating with messy fingers not worrying about picking up a remote.

Biggest mistake I did was buy hard copy of games. Buy digital copies unless you are a game trader/seller. It's so nice saying "Go to Forza Motorsports 5" and not worrying about putting in a disk. Watch for xbox points/money cards to go on sale($30 for $25 or whatever) and load up your account. Best Buy ran a deal like that one day. So not only did I get the $5 free, I also used my reward zone points that are double for game related stuff.
