@Tigerbite2 @outlawoftorn yeah dude i did read it...but based on past experience the kinect always picks up game-sounds which makes chat horrendous...i dont see how you can completely isolate voice from sound coming out of your speakers...thats why a headset is important!

again this is a lack of connection with the gamer community....microsoft has no idea how important game-chat is to gamers...especially those who party up and play with friends...there was a reason it was included with x360...is this the same company that made the x360?

@evil_snuggles i had no idea it is substantially larger now...glad they rectified that problem...

@Camp0potamus yes quite a lot actually

@Tigerbite2 well voice chat is there for when you are in a party and playing with friends...that is how I played most of my games on my 360 and made xbox live stand out with cross-game chat and all....which makes this another sad move...especially since old headsets cant be used now...

@dhewett2 yeah if your going to make proprietary accessories at least make them last....absolutely no clue why the controller still runs on batteries and why a simple headset is not there..

@Zombunny they will look at pre-order numbers first then decide.

Don Mattrick "We are over-delivering value at $500". Why can't we just ignore all this and have faith in him?

i think this is a deliberate ploy so that they can reinforce the kinect requirement....they just do not want to let go of the necessary kinect which frankly is holding a lot of gamers back..

@dussan2 so you can watch TV on your TV....just like they showed you...
