The industrial design goes against today's trends, but I really like the looks of it and I like to see Microsoft taking more chances once again. I think it will be a great success.
I want a gaming machine that has an entertainment system, not an entertainment system that has a gaming machine. I've only owned an xbox/xbox 360 the last two generations but it sounds like playstation is catering way more towards gamers this generation, so I might switch. It really erks me that the people who brought xbox here (gamers) are the last group of people xbox seems to care about.
It seems impressive, but now one more company is going to know my viewing habits etc etc.
Price to pay to ease of use?
I think people should at least wait for the keynote to finish before analyzing.
