    That's fucking awesome! Its totally a short video-thing, and that home-screen thing isn't finished. But still, cool.

    Where's messages?

    Edit: I just realized it has pins, on the controller's home screen. Ahhh, I love pins! So cool! That's like shortcuts to everything, I'm thinking..

    It's probably a one-off tag for the purposes of displaying the game(the game being ZOO TYCOON).

    It's pretty awesome if you only played on those old consoles because all that's going through my mind is about goddamn time the console UI interfaces are actually fast again.

    I am definitely a fan of the Xbox One interface design. The whole presentation just seems like it is as painless as possible. One of my biggest complaints with the 360 was how easy it was to hit the guide button, because the sluggishness of the UI made accidental presses a five to ten second interruption in the game.

    I hope we come full circle and the final iteration of the Xbox Dashboard is the slides/slices.

    I'm not really a fan of the interface. It's not bad by any means whatsoever, the design just doesn't appeal to me. However, it's fucking fast as shit and that's awesome.

    That old article about Sony fans being worst really proves itself to be true in every single thread on this forum.

    Oh well.

    Glad the OS responds that quickly in an unfinished version. Hopefully everything will be smooth in the final version. Definitely want to know how accessing messages will work. It should stay the same as the 360. All messages should open directly if you press the guide button while the notification is still on this screen. Just want an easy way to get to all that information. Like pressing the guide button now pulls up the small menu with friends list and messages. Shouldn't have to scroll through the dashboard to find friends or messages.

    The snap feature seems really cool. Very slick.

    Pulling up the dashboard and pausing the game has nothing to do with Microsoft. That depends on the developer to program their game to react that way.

    I played something recently that did not pause when I hit the guide button and it caused me to die.

    @bigjeffrey: The joy of PC is that decent programs allow you to bind whatever you like. You could have a big button on your wall that you headbutt to bring up the Steam overlay if you wanted.

    XBox One SOC has a CPU, GPU, and 15 special-purpose processors. Total of 47MB of storage on-chip

    At 363mm2 with over 5b transistors the Xbox One SoC designed by Microsoft and AMD is a very complex SoC

    Audio offload processor in XBox One SoC are "completely designed by Microsoft" and have "more than a CPU core worth of processing

    XBox One CPU has eight "modified" AMD Jaguar x86-64 cores, in two clusters of four cores. Modifiations to memory sharing & bandwidth

    If you press the Guide button on a xbox controller it will launch the home screen in steam too ...

    Yah, thats my guess too. At least until next year and they redesign the console so they can just advertise in the top right corner.
