Wait for couple months. You will see China version of Kinect....

Due to the huge lack in wheel support (such as my G27), and the mandatory Kinect, I have zero interest in the console.

Any chance of a Surface 2/Pro 2 review as you're now, pretty much, the ONLY tech site that hasn't bothered

Cool story.

Due to their lameness and partiality, I have zero interest in Sony hipsters. Two days in, and the Xbox One is the console gamers deserve. It has earned the right to spy on me in my boxers, if that indeed is of any interest to anyone.

People are up in arms because of the mandatory Kinect like without it they wouldn't spy on you. Did you see the new PSN agreement? The PS4 now spies on you and can allow game devs to not allow you to use a used game.

And you are complaining a gaming wheel developed by a PC peripheral company for a PC does not work with a console. That is like me complaining that a SNES controller does not work with my PC.

Plastic? Circuitry? Revolutionary!

I'm so very glad they broke this down, I was really looking forward to seeing one all taken apart!

true but ms takes it a step further and actually spies not only on what you are doing on xbox one but you yourself with Kinect.

My 12 year old PC peripherals AND G27 works with my PS3, and with full support. My disappointment IS relevant... the new consoles are more like a PC than ever... yet M$ is more interested in locking out accessories to force people into buying newer proprietary hardware just so it can work with their console, all the while taking in more $$$ on royalty fees for proprietary accessories. Heaven forbid a USB device to work on a console that has USB ports... it is sad, really.

Aside from the Kinect, anyone find video games to be too fake for the amount of time they have existed? For example, in sports games on the ps4 and xbox one, they look exactly the same as the ps3 and 360 and I dont want to buy a new console without noticeable changes in graphics.

Ifixit, those guys are such a joke, they prefer glue to screws.
