Just saw a commercial for this.

Possible future problem or no biggie?  I honestly don't know if this has been posted before, but it's basically the same freaking name.

Don't think it would be much of a problem. The system is named xbox one(not x1), they have no control of what the fans choose to call it.

Even the official names are pretty damn close and now Xbox is gonna be doing stuff that Comcast's unit is doing.

Time will tell. Personally I don't think it's a big deal, but I don't know how comcast behaves when it comes to this sort of things. :P

No games. No developers on games while windows is around. No money spent on developers for games while TV is main now, and kinect takes a back seat to TV. No real recovery while marketing speaks to answer the gamers.

I don't think it's a big deal either, but we're talking about two large companies that love protecting their money.

Is comcast a litigious company? That could be a good indicator of whats to come.

I think this actually has more functionality media wise than the XBOne. I mean, it's also a Cable Box and DVR. And it seems to have the voice commands they loved so much. No browser or multi tasking though. And it seems to be included with a subscription. Interesting...

yea if smart tv doesn't run like its on 56k. xbox one is just the start of the future of tech going closer to minority report....i bet others will do it better because it isnt an all in one box...

Yeah they really do suck. I pay for 35mbps download speeds and used to get them and then randomly my speed is basically capped at 22mp s. I called them about it and they sent a guy over and they said there was interference and "clutter" in the area that was slowing my speeds down and they would look into it. That was about 4-5 months ago and I still have 22mbps

I literally have the same "problem." They came out and said, "well since you live in a college town you're going to have reduced speeds because of all the traffic." I explained to them that I had the correct speed for a months and then all of a sudden my speed decreased. "Yeah, that's because of all the college students." I asked if he didn't hear me when I said that my speeds were fine before and then abruptly decreased which would belie the increased traffic because nothing would have change from before till now. "Umm well we're planning on installing more nodes in this area that should alleviate the burden all this traffic is putting on our infrastructure." I asked when. "They'll be up and running in about 6 to 8 months." ..........

The only thing that is good about them is their customer service is notoriously shitty so when i call up there and complain I tell them I am going to cancel unless they give me free subs HBO, Showtime, and Starz and they usually will give it to be for 6-8 months. What really pisses me off is that even though I have an HBO subscription, Comcast doesn't allow the use of HBO GO on things like Roku or Apple TV because they don't want people on there. If you have Time Warner, Cox, or Verizon, you can use HBO GO no problem.

I hate the name. Have fun googling gaming tips and hints with "Xbox One" in the title. It doesn't stand out, it doesn't stick. Infinity sticks. Like the Wii U they have set them self up for jokes. Xbox None etc.

This thing is actually what I thought the XBone was going to be. :?

X1 looks nice on paper, but apparantly lots of complaints about it. Comcast in general, pretty much sucks.

This probably plays more games than the Xbox. We should welcome Comcast fanboys to sw and kick lems out.

People will just call it the Xbox. 

 

maybe their naming scheme is they wanna sorta emulate Apple. like they do with the Iphone and Ipad. start numbering it but the average joe/jane just says the name and if asked clairfy it with the number.
