Also wonder if the seamless control works with older TV's
There is some type of IR out on it .
Also on the reveal when they show the COD dog and say its unlike any other I was waiting for it to open its mouth and bees to shoot out :-)
Listened to about 90 minutes of the Bombcast on the way into work and the stuff they covered :
1) Originally they thought it was force feedback on the triggers but it was later confirmed that its just rumble
2) Friends list goes up to 1000
3) "always on" - the box *needs* to check in every 24 hours otherwise stuff wont work (I really dislike this despite the fact that my console is pretty much always wired up if something goes wrong why cant I play my games offline)
4) The whole used game stuff seems very unclear at the moment and they said they have had different people at Microsoft giving them conflicting answers
5) There is an IR port on the pads which is how Kinect tracks them
6) Kinect *has* to be connected for the system to work and its better with space but still needs a reasonable amount which again probably rules it out for me or anyone else with limited space between the TV and the couch
7) Gamerscore and achievements will carry over to the new system
500GB hard drive included but you can add USB hard drives to it , and it seems only 3 USB ports (one side 2 rear)
