New Hardware
Xbox One was designed from the ground up to be the centrepiece of every living room with modern hardware, and it features the all-new Kinect, the new Xbox One Wireless Controller, a 500GB hard drive, an eight-core, x86 processor, wireless networking connectivity, HDMI, three super-speed USB 3.0 ports, and a high-speed Blu-ray disc player. Features include the following:
Xbox One Console
Designed with the 21st Century living room in mind, the Xbox One console features a premium design with a gloss black finish, horizontal orientation and a slot loading Blu-ray disc player.
Updated wireless controller
Enhanced with more than 40 technical and design innovations, the new impulse triggers offer precise haptic fingertip feedback and a newly engineered D-pad delivers greater responsiveness and control. An infrared LED on the front of the controller allows Kinect to automatically recognise you, making it easier to pick up and play.
Redesigned Kinect
It includes a 1080p, HD camera that captures video at 30 frames per second. All-new, active infrared capabilities increase precision, allowing it to work in nearly any lighting condition and expanding field of view to accomodate a greater variety of room sizes. Microsoft proprietary Time of Flight technology measures the time it takes individual photons to rebound off you to create unprecedented accuracy and precision. The new noise-isolating multimicrophone array filters ambient sounds to recognise natural speaking voices even in crowded rooms.
XBoxOne.com, the matching domain for Microsoft’s new video game system, was originally registered more than 10 years ago.
Microsoft today unveiled its new XBox video game system called XBox One.
Microsoft does not own the domain name XBoxOne.com, which currently resolves to a GoDaddy “coming soon” page.
The domain name was registered in 2002 by Xbox Rodents and was used for a site called XBox1. It then expired in 2011 and was registered by someone in London. XBox Rodents also owned XBox1.com and let it expire in 2011 as well.
So the big question: how important is it that Microsoft owns the domain name?
The main web site for all generations of the XBox is XBox.com, so you could argue that XBoxOne.com isn’t that important. On the other hand, XBoxOne.com could be use by someone for nefarious purposes or to “hijack” the sales channel.
I suspect Microsoft will own the domain name soon. I just don’t know which approach they’ll take to acquiring the domain.
