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.

I have a feeling this is going to cause a lot of system overheating and crashes. I won't be buying it for at least a year to insure it doesn't break. Do keep in mind that xbox 360 took at least 3 years to semi fix RROD and 6 years to come out with the xbox slim. I recommend everyone to wait a year or two or you'll all just be spending money out of your asses.

hmm i cant decide whether this would be good feature or really irritating and annoying. good idea but could possibly be bad.

and the second hand games thing, that would hit game retailers like GAME and CEX and also people who buy the games, you get bord of a game and cant trade it in for money. Really hope they dont do this.

This actually sounds really cool, except people would be able to turn off your xbox.
