Starting your next Xbox with "Xbox on" voice command

4.5
The next-generation Xbox will be coming with voice recognition right out of the box, according to sources. By using the verbal command of "Xbox on" the Xbox should start up.

You should also be able to ask your Xbox, "What are my friends playing?" and it should show you a list of who's doing what online so that you can join the fun.

The next-generation Xbox will also be revamped, meaning the new Xbox is going to talk back to you when you ask it a question. The big question is, what kind of personality is Microsoft going to give to it?

Also, since Microsoft owns Skype, the VOIP service is expected to find its way into the next-generation console.

Reports have said that Microsoft's next console could also stop playing second-hand, or pre-owned games, thanks to the always-on Internet connection that verifies each title.

We are all expecting an announcement with more details to come at E3 this summer, so we can put rumors aside.

Stopping used games from working, will deffo move to a pc if this is the case, as my kids like to buy older used games with their pocket money. Plus new games wont sell as many copies as the end user will be more selective about the titles they buy.

so if the xbox is going to have Skype built-in is the party chat & game chat going to change or sound better (HD sound quality) ?

What if my mum shouts: "James has got his 'xbox on'"?

That may be slightly disastrous.

I must admit, I am probably going to stick to what we have now, like the iPhone I suppose or other things that use voice command, you could say "What are my friends playing?"
And it could turn itself off, sometimes voice command fails, hard. But I can see them making this better then the other command systems, hope it all goes well!

I kinda like that, but I am not sold on it right now due to everything else that is going on with it.

RockstarGames What if the dog shouts it while your at work and it overheats and gets red rings


Well make millions from your dog being able to speak fluent english.

I wonder if the voice commands will be programmable.

I see they are sticking with being constantly online and second-hand games won't be
able to run.

Well in that case I'm thinking of saving up and getting a gaming PC.
