hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with my top 5 features of the Xbox one so Microsoft had an event today where they showed up the next-generation Xbox and of course I'll be doing a lot more videos on it next month at e3 but for now let's take a look at the top 5 features of the brand-new Xbox one and number five we have connect 2 which actually might be useful now so unlike with the Xbox 360 where Kinect was an add-on that you had to go pay $100 for and then it'll only work on some games and then even then might be not all that well connect 2 will be coming with every single Xbox one and on top of that there's also a lot of really cool features with it for starters it'll be much better at motion tracking thanks to the new 1080p camera so here of course it's going to be still tracking your arms and legs and all that kind of stuff it's actually going to be much more precise as well as giving you some really cool features like actually being able to track your heartbeat which well not probably all that useful it's definitely something very cool that it can just see with a camera on top of that since it does have a microphone and camera obviously you can actually use it to navigate around your operating system for example you can just say Xbox on and the Kinect will actually turn on the Xbox as well as some other cool things like being able to switch between applications for example going between a game and a movie all that kind of stuff and number four we have the new Xbox one controller now I ain't a huge fan of the current 360 controller it is in my opinion one of the best controllers period so the best praise I can give to Microsoft is that they didn't screw it up with the one so overall when you take a look at it it looks very similar pretty much every button and every little surface has been tweaked a little bit but for the most part it's going to be very familiar if you have used an Xbox 360 controller there are some neat little tricks for example the triggers themselves will now vibrate as well as there's no more giant ugly hump on the back of the controller so everyone is going to be rechargeable so everything is built into the controller so finally we don't have to worry about using double-a batteries any more number three is live TV integration so the Xbox one has an HDMI IN port which means that you can take something like your cable box plug it into your Xbox and then be able to watch live TV without having to switch inputs and all that kind of stuff so this is something cool if you want to save time for example you can go between playing a game and watching live TV in a split second but on top of that it also allows you to do cool things for example you can watch NFL as well as have your fantasy foot on one screen and who knows they might even actually allow you to use it as a DVR number two is the new software so it's definitely seeing a major change from the Xbox 360 dashboard in fact there's definitely a lot of inspiration taken from Windows 8 and that also includes some of the features so for example now you can actually have multiple apps on a screen at a time so for example you could have a Skype call running on one side while being able to browse the web or you'd be watching a movie and then go over to Internet Explorer there's actually a lot of really cool things that you can do now with multiple apps on a single screen if this sounds familiar you're right as the Xbox one is partially based on Windows 8 no no before you get your hopes up you won't be able to play PC games on your Xbox one however what this does mean is that we should see more high quality games on both the Xbox as well as PC is the Xbox is basically gaming PC hardware internally and since Windows is pretty much Windows wherever you go that means that for a PC port to go over to the Xbox shouldn't be any kind of big deal and same thing in Reverse any kind of Xbox game should in theory be able to be ported over to the PC very nicely the number one feature on the Xbox one is power put simply this thing absolutely destroys the Xbox 360 with an 8 core processor as well as 8 gigabytes of RAM it is in theory over 10 times faster now there's also lots of other cool tech goodies including the fact that it now does have a blu-ray drive which is kind of late but you definitely will be able to play both games as well as movies on it as well as other cool features including of course Wi-Fi a 500 gigabyte hard drive as well as USB 3.0 support we only saw a few games running on the Xbox one including the new Call of Duty ghosts the new Forza 5 as well as quite a few new ea sports games however concerning the e3 is only a couple weeks away I definitely expect to see a lot more games shut off there especially considering that the new Xbox will actually be launching by the end of this year so now it's your turn what do you guys think about the brand new Xbox one and how do you think
