As long as the TV stuff doesn't increase the price too much I won't care, I just won't use it. If that and the forced Kinect however force the price much higher than the PS4 then my decision at least which to buy first will be easy. I'm not paying extra for a games console for features that have nothing to do with gaming.
The odd thing is that I was mostly certain that they would announce a new Halo Game, not TV show.
I also find it odd that from the 15 titles to be release at launch "later this year" they only had footage from 2 of them, 1 of them mostly CGI while the other was mostly WIP, considering how development goes it amazes me that all these 13 games didn't had alpha or tech demos given the time-frame and supposed release schedule.

I'm waiting waiting for Sony's PS4 announcement where they're going to announce some of the same functionality regarding media and it'll be excused for whatever idiotic reason.

If we can "rent" games from Microsoft I am perfectly fine with that.
The next Xbox won't require an Internet connection to function, but could very well block used games, unless you feel like paying Microsoft some extra cash. Microsoft did say that if a disc was used with a second account, that owner would be given the option to pay a fee and install the game from the disc, which would then mean that the new account would also own the game and could play it without the disc.

Yeah, but you can't play used games...
Microsoft just lost me with this one.
EDIT: Argh! Camaroboy was faster!

Well, the vast majority of the features and games (with the exception of FM5) they've announced is of no interest to me. At all. E3 is where it's at, obviously. I'm excited to see what they have up their sleeves and if it's worth buying.
Edit:
If all that is indeed true, forget what I've just said above.

They're focusing more on gaming than trying to revolutionize fantasy football.
What's the thing you're waiting to hear about the PS4 to call BS on? Voice controlled Netflix that you don't have to pay to access through the system for?
Group movie watching?

I'm still not convinced. The PS4 evidently has better hardware under the hood, including 4K support for films and photos. Considering the X1's focus on being an entertainment hub, I'm surprised 4K isn't supported. The games showcased were pretty bad, I was remotely interested in FM5, but the trailer made it look more like NFS Shift, certainly didn't look like a simulator (I doubt Forza is the highest rated racing game, as the trailer stated, *cough* GT *cough*)
If these new IPs are any good, I may pick up an X1, but I'm not holding my breath.

Pay to play used games? Wow.

With cloud computing I do think 500GB will be enough.

About the same CPU, we don't really know about the GPU.
XBOX ONE does have 4k support.

There's not much to understand, it's just a dumb joke. But I will try to elaborate anyway:
Instead of hooking the Xbox One's output up to a TV, you hook it up to its own input. Now you don't have to look at the horrible output yourself... the Xbox One does it for you, leaving you free to do other things, such as play PS4.

They went on about television far too long, I agree. However it was a new part of the console and they obviously wanted to try and show it off since no other company currently has this feature.. They announced the specs and the amount of exclusives they will have but if they had just focused on games it would have been a very short announcement! Plus with E3 around the corner the developers wouldn't have wanted Microsoft stealing all of their thunder for their announcement.
I never said anything about not caring how I get it, I used to have a decent DVR setup at my old house but where I live now we can't get a good enough television signal to make it worth having one.
I imagine you can do what you can do with the current console; put the disc in and press play. If the television aspect provides Freeview channels with a guide through the internet then I'll be chuffed to bits but if not I won't find it hard to ignore it just as I don't find it hard to ignore the current excess 'fluff'.

If you think Sony is going to sit idly by and let Microsoft lay claim to the exact same thing they're trying to do, then I don't know what to tell you.
And you mention fantasy football as if it were the only thing they focused on. Yes, an overwhelming portion of the conference was TV-centric, but after they already announced it was going to be a two-part reveal what were you expecting?
If you or anyone else were expecting a cluster of game reveals after the fact, then, again, I don't know what to tell you.
