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.

Compliance If its not an option it could get annoying if you say a sentence that includes "Xbox on" and it turned on.

corgi Not sure if I like the voice activation. Yes I'm sure it would be easier than going and pushing the button, but I would like to see better updates than voice commands.


Voice commands could lead to better things in the future.


I thought the point of kinnect was to make you less lazy and actually do something, then they add voice controlls for people that cant get up to turn on the xbox.
