Save the colour, it makes sense. I like the Slim more than the original, both slims.The XB360 slim looks quite similar to the original XB360... its the super slim model that diverged somewhat.
Well, this year is going to be a really good for the Xbox One in the exclusive department. Twitter announcement from Phil Spencer, just hours ago.
Brand NEW first party IP, AND...the best 1st party content year ever.

it makes sense , MS has been beefing up its first party studios since the end of last generation. It makes sense that we see a lot of offerings in the third holiday of the one.
We already know
Halo 5
Forza
Fable
Tomb Raider
Quantum break seems delayed
We have chances of
Phantom Dust , Crackdown , Scalebound , Gears collection
Perhaps a new Conker , Battle Toads .
Maybe Ryse 2
So it will be an interesting e3 for sure. I was excited about last years exclusives , project spark , sunset over drive , master chief collection were all great.

Nice, so you can basically steam anything from your PC, including games, via your XBO to the TV without needing a Miracast/WiDi adapter. Oh and anything else that use Miracast to display content.
It's certainly becoming more and more of a "do everything" box in the living room.

That's a dream come true! I've watched the video and read the notes, but I don't see how you can stream games from your PC to your Xbox One. Am I missing anything?

Miracast allows you to use any Miracast receiver as a display. So you just basically turn the XBO into a display for your PC. You can also buy a 50-100 USD Miracast/WiDi dongle for your TV and do the same thing, but this would allow you to do it for free if you don't have one.
Oh and assuming Windows 8.1, which supports Miracast.
Regards,
SB
Ah okay, thanks. I have Windows 8.1 Pro and I thought of Miracast because we talked about it time ago -joker454 brought up the subject-. The thing is... my Intel HD3000 GPU doesn't allow Miracast -Intel enabled it in the HD4000 GPU series- because Intel didn't want to. My laptop's APU (i5-2450m) was among the best back in the day but it was launched when the first APUs featuring Intel HD4000 GPUs and they used Miracast as one of the lures to upgrade or get the most advanced APUs for laptops.
Wonder if there is a workaround, but I gotta try.
Miracast is just a software protocol on top of Wifi, it has nothing to do with your GPU. Anything that can do Wifi Direct can do Miracast (if there is software support).
However, manufactures wants to sell you new devices with Miracast capability instead of spending money updating old devices.
Cheers
Software support is the issue here. Because 2nd generation GPUs (Intel HD3000) don't support Miracast via software (oddly enough they support it on the Intel HD 2500). The Intel HD3000 supports WiDi but the Wi-Fi adapter of my laptop isn't from Intel, so they technically don't give WiDi support either.

I shall try to find a 3rd party software, still wondering what should I look for. I really want to play Baldur's Gate The Original Saga and Icewind Dale 1 and Icewind Dale 2 on my TV via the Xbox One, etc etc.

^ Yep, and partly I forget that it is a 1440p screen as well when I first load up a new game. I am used to max settings on most things, usually in widescreen format. 
Have not felt great this week, so I have played way too much Neverwinter on X1. Holds up really well for the most part, the control scheme actually gets fun and I found nicely usable. FPS dips in heavy population areas. I did not get an ESO key, but a few friends have said it is on lower settings naturally and they felt Neverwinter was the nicer looking of the two. Having said that, I look forward to playing ESO on console and did the character split transfer thing already. I was getting into the story with it, so I hope to one day finish it. Have not played since it went F2P, so I don't know how confusing they made it now.

Not sure where to put this because it isn't official. To soon for a dedicated thread maybe. Gears of War remaster screens leaked.

That's good news, especially the 60 fps thing. I can't imagine how much of an improvement the framerate is going to be, Gears of War at 60 fps is a experience I'd want to live at least once. Good memories from the series.
On another note, if you want to watch videos or screenshots you've uploaded without having to use a Onedrive, youtube, etc, link, there is a perfect place for that!

It is better than xboxclips.com because you can also see captures there.
These are my clips and captures:

I bought my friends XB1 from him. He bought it for his kids and Kinect games, but then found out there was nothing. He sold the Kinect to someone else, I just got the console and two controllers. I paid $220, so it is not a huge investment.
So far the UI is really busy and complicated, the store is also a bit hard to navigate. I asked my buddy how do you see the current download list? He could figure it out either. I started unpinning all the stuff they pinned and pinning my own stuff. Simple thins like the setting was hard to find. It suddenly showed up on my home screen then shortly later was gone. When I found it again, I pinned it!
I was somehow able to DL Forza 5, did they just give it to everyone? I also borrowed Halo MCC and am currently patching it. I read Sunset Overdrive is $25 at BestBuy tomorrow, so I'll grab that. I'll also look for cheap copies for Horizon 2. Not sure what else since I have a PC.
My buddy had an extra 1 year XBL gold code, so I grabbed it for $25. I had no intention of going online, but I might need it for the Gold sales.
