A country lad like myself can mock other counties for being bogger etc due to the fact that I am also bogger

On topic : Anyone know if the Xbox ONE kinect voice commands will be fully functional in Ireland at launch?

It'll support some of them (probably the ones that already work for 360), but 'Xbox On' isn't going to be one of them.

In November
- We will launch in 13 geos
- 10 of those geos will support some voice features
- We support 8 languages

The 8 Languages at Launch are:
1) English – US
2) English – GB (WW)
3) French
4) Spanish – MX
5) Spanish – ES
6) Italian
7) German
8) Portuguese

NOW – the nuance to this is that some voice *features* won’t be available in all countries right away. “Xbox On”, for instance, is only available in 5 (hence the confusion on Xbox.com in the small print).

Question,

I use a certain site to get us/cad netflix etc. If I were to set my DNS to the UK, would voice control then be active? Or is it assigned to your GT as its an Irish Gt??

Id imagine that you can just select your language during setup - most times for computers its a choice of English - UK or English - USA.

the UK has a HUGE variation in accents, from welsh, scottish, Manchester , Liverpool.

if the Kinect can handle all that, it'll surely be able to handle the gentle lilting tones of a buckfast swilling limerick man or the self important high pitched whine of a corkman or the nasal drone of North Dublin

Finally, some Smartglass information. It's here.

Apparently, from the screenshot, in DR3, Smartglass turns your phone into the in game phone.

Interesting ... 16 ways to play: SmartGlass support for Xbox One doubles the controller cap. If I don't hear about 16 player local Bomberman at TGS, I'll be disappointed.

I remember one of the ghost recon games on the xbox, it had no issues with voice control " go right" , "open door". The only thing I found was people thought you were mad talking to yourself

I'm not sure, they were saying while ago sold out, than bundle came out (Fifa), than bundle was sold out, than bundle with Forza, than sold out, my bet is another bundle soon .. I mean why did they say it's all sold out, and few weeks later they were taking day one preorders .. they are not sure how much stock they are going to have, but since they canceled release in many countries they might have more stock still to be sold ..

podgemk

I rang extravision and they were sold out aswell. I went on the microsoft website and they have a list of retailers that do pre orders, most of which don't ship to Ireland or were sold out.. Argos,Game,Smyths,Amazon,etc. , but ShopTo.net have different bundles available for forza,dead rising,cod,ryse all with the day one edition and free fifa DL. I just pre ordered the Day One Edition, BF4(with extra dlc), £15 Microsoft Points and FIFA 14 for £489.85 + shipping

That's why I am so surprised that BF4 looks awful on the PS4. Hopefully they get their act together,

I don't know what people see in that UI. It looks boring and uninspired.

I couldn't tell, looks about the same if not slightly bigger.
Surprisingly the PS4 controller looks bigger than both of them.

Very windows phone/windows 8 esk, but we pretty much knew it was going to be like that. The minimise back to dashboard but keep the game running feature will be handy.

Can anyone explain the benefits of the HDMI pass through for your TV set-top box here in Ireland, where we don't have the same integration as they do in the US?

Google has failed to deliver any real insight?

You can quickly change between playing games and watching TV with voice commands, you can have TV on in the side of your screen whilst your playing games or watching something else. Why anybody would want to do that I don't know but the option is there.

The only thing I personally find cool is that you can get notifications whilst watching TV, though seeing as I don't ever watch live tv it wouldn't benefit me.

it means nothing because the tv part of it wont work in ireland, if it ever does....you can bet upc wont cut a deal, asking too much, and rte and saoirview wont work either because ireland is too small to make a tv guide or invest.

mark my words!
