^I would expect that it's restricted to Gold only members, kinda sad though as there are probably a lot of non-gold people without capture cards that would make very nice lets plays.
The most disappointing part of the Game DVR (And PS4's Recording Tool) is that it's limited time use. I would imagine that they would make you pay for more minutes. Is it more of a RAM issue?
However it still shows that if you really want to get in the business, then an HD capture card is the way to go. I see the Game DVR's to be useful for game winning kill and short killing spree recordings while machinimas and lets plays will be owned by capture cards.

Well, I'd expected it to be limited in time as it's obvious. Companies like Hauppauge and AVermedia would rage if both, Sony and Microsoft, suddenly offer basically the same function as their products for free. But what I don't get is that not only is the console already more expensive, but now that function is also a subscription - based function of the console, meaning if you're not a Gold member, you don't have access to it. It's just a no - go for me personally. They've advertised it in their presentation and there was nothing about "Gold Member Exclusive" or anything. Microsoft shot themselfes in the leg again in my opinion as you see that not only does Sony offer you longer recording time but actually doesn't require you to be a PS+ member. I just don't know, what Microsoft is doing, but it all seems VERY delusional to me.
RAM, as in Random Access Memory, has very little to nothing to do with this capturing as the device probably writes the file on the HDD. A reason why Microsoft only offers 5 Minutes and limits this to gold members probably is, that their storage servers aren't big enough, or that they fear that a lot of people will do this. But to be honest, I don't think that anyone will really use this, either because they don't care, or because they don't buy the console in the first place or a gold membership.
Plus, as you said rightly, people who are serious about machinimas and all this stuff will still record over capturing devices.

Yes, 5 mins is a bit short for a lap of the ring or a fifa match.
I think PS4 is the last 15 mins of your game and there is a rumor of a much longer recording setting.
I own a capture card so not really bothered and the next nvidia gpus will have shadowplay which will like the ps4, capture the last 20mins, should anything cool happen.

I find it bonkers that an offline feature require a subscription to use. Most will over look it but its just down right bonkers. All the online things are understandable but offline are not. It would be less bonkers if you had a buy a $30 device to let you record your unintended gameplay.
Xbox One is not a consumer focused device. It's targeted to the core gamers who already have live. Not much incentive to pay for live if you don't care for online play.

Could be Chinese batteries that expired yesterday! I'd laugh if the batteries are like the ones that came with my flashlight. My flashlight came with C batteries that says "Kung Fu MAX" with a red man doing a kick.

^ MS should put Sony branded AA batteries 
and at least give the consumer rechargeable batteries :
But most likely it will be plain jane heavy duty ones :

I think its great news. That means less wires. I don't like plugging the PS3 controllers in to charge them. 👍Are you kidding me?!!
I was shocked when I found out the XBOX 360's controller didn't use built in batteries but the XBOX ONE as well?!!
Oh come on, is this a joke?
I have been using the 360 Quick Charge Tower for several years and love it.

360 Quick Charge Tower (These batteries last up to 40 hours on 1 charge per battery!!)

I never used the AA batteries for my 360 ever. I have always used either a play and charge kit or the Quick charge kit above which has no AA batteries. Its just a big square. If you are using non rechargeable AA batteries for the 360 then you are doing it wrong. I have talked all my friends into that Quick Charge tower.
This is what the square quick charge battery looks like for the Quick Charge Tower I posted above. Its just a solid square that holds a 40 hour charge! You can swap batteries in about 3 seconds. No joke. I highly recommend the Quick Charge Tower.

Better than before at least, even if you had bought the console and games, you could only play it if you lived in one of the small number of countries Microsoft chose for launch. Now you just need to connect to Internet once to be able to play games on it, otherwise it will be one expensive Blu-Ray player, HDMI switch and remote.

And yet another 180 by Microsoft.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/xbox-one-will-function-without-kinect-6412848
Aparently, the Kinect does not need to be connected in order for the console to function. Which warrants the question why consumers are forced to pay for it... Seems like they can't make up their minds about anything regarding the new Xbox.

Wow... this is just beyond ridiculous now. Talk about out of touch, Microsoft. Way to backpedal (or back-peddle!). They certainly aren't exuding much confidence with these switches. Next 180 will be the announcement that the new console will just be a re-branded PS4... ugh.
I would guess they did it just to alleviate those with spying concerns but they still want everyone to have one so all devs know they'll have one. Although that does raise the question if certain games will still ask you to connect it to play/activate certain parts.
.....and as usual this is a bad thing for some people, despite all the outcries of it being mandatory. MS really can't win.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but how exactly is this reversal a bad thing?
It means MS are out of touch and that's bad, apparently.
Why I should care about that I don't know. All I care about is the product they eventually offer on sale, I don't really care how they got there.

Maybe MS can unexpectedly reverse the kinect again after launch ? MS seems to be quite fickle now.
Why do you care though? The console isn't on sale yet, why would the development history affect your decision to purchase the product?
Yes, they've changed a ton of stuff since they announced the console but it's all been based on customer feedback, what the majority seemingly wanted. Sure, that means they got it wrong in the first place but again, if they corrected it all in time for it going on sale why would that leave a bad taste in your mouth?
I could understand game developers being annoyed because many of the changes directly affect them but I don't get why it would bother a consumer.
