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.

SEG_Kill3r Great Idea..


I agree, this is one of the smarter things Microsoft has done lately... Opposed to only letting you play connected to the internet, only letting you play new games, etc.

THECARJACKER They had this issue before with the Kinect. They were gonna have it so it would turn the Xbox on and off with voice commands
However this means that in order for the voice to be recognised the Xbox will need to be at least partially on at all times meaning a big waste of electricity.

Not sure how this issue will be addressed...

Also, for you conspiracists out there: Yes, Bill Gates will be watching you (Not that he wasn't before).


LOL yeah, because he's going to take time out of his day, to watch random people over an xbox. LOL If you really think that, you should see a therapist. :P
