    The inevitable outcome of this:
    Camera - Xenon will have a USB 2.0 camera. It's capable of 1.2 megapixel still shots and VGA video. Photos can be used in-game and for gamer profiles.
    :eek:

    I doubt that the pictured Xenon will be the final shape released. Anybody who remembers when the original X-box was released will remember that is was to be a big X shape which looked good but was totally impractical.

    I think MS will go for a smaller box than the X-box that will fit nicely into a living room enviroment and avoid X-BOX IS HUGE LOL! type slagging. Without the hdd this will be easier to achieve.

    Cynic alert. Sounds pretty powerful btw.

    Gamer Cred is how much you're awarded for each achievement. The more games you play and the better you do, the more Gamer Cred you'll earn. Microsoft's is suggesting that developers award at least 1000 Gamer Cred points per title.
    Cue games companies awarding a crapload of points just for buying the game and making it an advertising feature for their title.
    Parents will be pleased to learn that the profile system includes extensive parental controls and privileges. The system lets parents decide what games their kids are allowed to play, as well as if their children are allowed to share their profile and chat with other players. Software controls allow parents to select multiplayer restrictions.
    Sounds good actually. Of couse all those nasty pirates will probably remove the restrictions ebfore 0daying them but that's hardly Microsoft's fault.
    One of the most pertinent stats to Live is player reputation. Players will be able to grade, compliment, and complain about other players. Reviews are tied to a player's own experience as well. It's unclear how the whole system will be policed.
    Sounds like a karma system. And that'd never be abused. No way sirree.
