    Some of stuff he said wasn't necessary.....why would you move it around or move cable wires around when it's plug in? That makes no sense you do all that before you hook it up and I think it would be common sense that the kinect won't hear you clearly if you blasting music in the same room


    Not just music ......... but sounds from the same TV you trying to control hands free

    Ok but still don't have the tv up loud when the kinect can't hear you properly to me it's common sense

    So you want me to pick up my remote and mute my TV so I can talk to the xbox ??? Why not just use the controller.

    Mute what? You don't need to mute it just have it at a reasonable level like 13 the ? won't hear you if your tv volume is on 35 and up

    I think the controller is still the easier option.

    TBF ....... I agree with you. Common sense tells you it won't hear you over noise.

    Just I know a few people that would take up a controller to turn down the volume then put it back down to use the voice command.

    Pretty cool telling the AI on Battlefield 4 to "Engage" the enemy using a voice command.

    I guess I was wrong. I would have thought that third parties would implement things like that for both systems. Even though the PS4 cam isn't as integral to the system as with the XB1, it seems to me if you're adding that functionality to the game on one system, it should be trivial to add it to the other system too. Hell, you don't even have to have the PS4 cam to use the voice commands, you can do it through the headset, so I'm not really sure why they didn't implement that same functionality on the PS4 version of the game.

    Yea, I can't see why they haven't.

    The Xbox One subreddit and the official Xbox forums are starting to collect complaints from users who were in private Skype calls where they cursed only to later find they had been temporarily banned from Skype on the Xbox. The error message advises them to “Choose something else to play” because of their past behavior. The same goes for Microsoft’s upload Studio, which is used to share gameplay videos, though reports of this are currently less common.

    I said the same ? but once you start playing around with that ? it become much more than a gaming system. Even though the main purpose is gaming. Maybe I'm just a tech junky though.
