I wonder, is a game tied to an XBox Live account or to a physical console? If it's the first, then does that mean a household with multiple XBL accounts needs to buy the game multiple times? If the latter, what happends if I want to take my game with me and play it with a friend on his console? or if my own xbox breaks down?

to your account + console. other profiles on your console (mac address perhaps?) are able to play the games.Eraser wrote:I wonder, is a game tied to an XBox Live account or to a physical console?

if you install it somewhere else, you are able to play it as long as you (the owner of the game) are logged in.
otherwise it needs a pass.
same as the current Live content scheme, but now with added fee for transferring.

Can anyone explain how the TV guide will work? Does it access your TV provider no matter what service you have?

The guide itself is just data from the interwebs, maintained by region and provider. How it interfaces with your tuner is what I'd love to know too. The current speculation is that it will connect to your cable box via hdmi and an IR blaster if needed.

After watching it I was this: Underwhelmed. Who really cares about flapping your hands around to open stuff. Is there where they think we want to go?

So anybody can walk in the room while you are playing a game and say"Xbox watch TV"?...

lol, Yahtzee puts it best in this week's Zero Punctuation review of System Shock 2:
"You know, I used to PC game a lot more than I do now but that was back before I mainly used laptops, so I eventually had to inch my bum along to the console end of the bench of gaming for the sake of playing processor intensive games without have to microwave my keyboard hand. Lately however, I've been feeling like it's time to start inching my bum back again because I noticed a smelly tramp sitting on the console end of the bench with a Kinect lodged in his forehead and he keeps muttering the word 'preowned' and stabbing himself in the hand with a tinopener."

Microsoft’s new Kinect patent
Microsoft’s new Kinect patent
Go home, XBox.The abstract describes a camera-based system that would monitor the number of viewers in a room and check to see if the number of occupants exceeded a certain threshold set by the content provider.
If there are too many warm bodies present, the device owner would be prompted to purchase a license for a greater number of viewers.
No, really. It’s that blunt. From the abstract: “The users consuming the content on a display device are monitored so that if the number of user-views licensed is exceeded, remedial action may be taken.”
