Forget the look. The features are awesome. I do however feel they're taking the Video Game Console into a different direction than where I would go with it. I don't like the whole TV guide feature as I am not going to run and wear out my console anymore than I have to.
Thats where I disconnect, what features? IE? I avoid that like a plague and only ever open it to cross check browser compatibility on my sites. If I really need to Google something (yeah Bing lost in the Bing v. Google test) while Im watching TV, I have a laptop, PC, Droid, and probably even a tablet soon. Blu-Ray, got one of those in the computer too. I just dont see ANY added benefit to the console.
It's 100% voice and motion controlled. You can also skype with friends while watching movies, tv shows, etc. And leave comments about games, shows, movies and music for your friends to read as well. The only thing I like about the TV guide is that you don't have to flip through it, you can just say, "Community" and it will automatically put that show on for you. There are also a lot more features that they showed on their live event can be seen
