Microsoft Unboxes an Xbox One Three Months Early

@chaser324: My cat turns on my PS3 with the capacative button because he puts his paw on the light. Seriously.

The PS3 kept being left turned on and everyone denied leaving it on, then we saw him do it one day.

Only if it's totally a joke/spoof video with him sitting on a couch, controller in hand. "Who cares what it looks like coming out of a box, here's what it looks like, you know, playing a game"

I want a power BUTTON that i can fucking PUSH!!!

I kinda like how he just drops everything on the floor

New XONE, still want microsoft to follow Jeff & just shorten the thing to just that (though pronounced zone)

I had pre ordered a day one edition the day they annouced it, since then I canceled it. I'm just going to upgrade my PC and finish some games on my 360. I'll pick one up for Titanfall tho.

Also heard an Xbox One Red Ringed at comic con....not good. :/

This was so half assed!

Anybody else think that power button sound seems suspiciously like the 1UP sound from the older Mario games?

Start's the video; "Let's see what's in the box. This is what it looks like, it's gorgeous." 1:00 in and he literally sweeps it off onto the floor. Lmao.

Very natural

Well now that has to happen.

I really dislike Major Nelson's way of presenting shit. I have no idea how he became the Xbox....host....thingy he is.

That was weird... right?

man, that thumb is awesome

Every time I see a picture of Major Nelson I think of Mark Summers.

No white gloves? Sacrilege!

Also, the tone for this video seems waaay off. Not sure if it's Major Nelson or just the pace it's edited but it comes off like a trenchcoat lined with gold watches in a back alley.

Iwata can get away with it because he's got such a humble demeanor and his tone never changes, but Larry just looks like he's trying to convince himself it is awesome.

Even though it's a short, simple unbox video, this is an opportunity they had to generate real interest or at least try and earn some trust or humility but it comes off just... weird...

Also, they should have done a better job teasing the release of this video.

Seriously who is running the PR show over there?

Let's see if Sony can come up with something like a capacitive touch on/off switch...oh wait, never mind.

(Disclaimer, I was an Xbox Live beta-tester and I've been on it since.)

After their screwjob they tried to rail the consumer/me with at E-3, I just don't trust them.

I feel like I'm watching QVC. He's missing Jeff as a sidekick for color commentary.

Where'd that mic come from?

This guy kind of gives me the creeps. He reminds me of that always "passively-pissed off" uncle you have whose wife invites her familiy over for Sunday dinner, and you can just sense he just wants to tell everyone to GTFO.

@slashdance: Everyone who watched this knew what it was before they pressed play. That means if you watched it you were either interested in seeing it or you watched just so that you could bitch about it. You seem to be the latter.

I think you are supposed to take the glass off of your screen and toss some peanuts or rice chex into his mouth.

Wow, it's somehow even more chunky than the original PS3.

and the controller looks goofy, why are the letters so huge?

How many powerbricks does the powerbrick need to operate? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

@leftie68: yeah there's definitely something off with this guy as a spokesman..

I don't understand why these things have become so popular. It ruins the joy you experience from opening it yourself.

wow capacitive buttons?

Why does he feel the need to shout so much?

I have to concur. Nelson doesn't come across as a human being in this video; much like everyone who's tried to speak in favor of the XBone this year. The whole "you've all been waiting for this" just came across as the usual arrogance that's been on display from them.

Thanks for showing me what I will not be buying, Larry. Still getting a PS4 as Microsoft's first party lineup sucks.

Is it now universally called "Power Brick" instead of power supply? Every time I hear the word brick, I think of something heavy and in the way.

Unboxing your own product months before it is released. Classy.

You get all of this for the amazing price of $499.99 or 5 easy payments of $99.99! Ha!

OMG STICKAAAARZ!! I'm sold. I still really don't want that kinetic tho.

Dat chrome D-pad!!!

Can he talk any faster? I doubt it!

Edit: Ahem, I take that back, it wasn't that fast. But seeing that the power brick survived a generation irks me.

Sitting out on EX-Box. Seriously, they tried to screw with the wrong guy.

#Privacy - #PS4, yes please.

Yawn.

Anyone else think it sounds pretty similar to a 1UP in a Mario game when he turns it on?

I love how the fact Xbox One coming with a headset was just glossed over, like it was never in doubt it would come with one. And is the on/off "button" as sensitive as the 360's? When my roommate's cat would walk by the console it would turn on or off. That was very annoying.

That's a huge ass box.

This seems very pathetic...

That's one feminine-ass wedding ring...

At least it's not a shaky-cam.

So how many easy installments can I pay with and if I order now do I still get the kitchen knives, entire 360 back catalogue and a clock radio for free?

You would think all of that Xbox Pizza Hut would have gone to his head. Good on him.
