Normally i'll sit here and talk beauty... but I do love a bit of gaming (Don't worry i'm not one of these 'look at me i'm so sexy I love gaming and shit....' or ' OMG i'm such a gamer girl') Nah!
But all that aside I caught up with E3 which conferenced on 10th June 2013. I was super duper excited about getting a better look at the Xbox one, I've always been an Xbox kinda girl no hate against the PS4 its just for me the online experience is better and if I wanted to play for the graphics i'd just hop on a PC! lets just face it the war between the two consoles will never end, the arguments will go on for as long as the consoles exist and lets be honest its fun to have your say... and be a bit of a jerk to the opposing 'team'
How it looks
It actually looks like it could be a PS4's relative, not lying!
Its pretty sleek & simple. Going by the images it doesn't look like the disk tray ejects. The console has a high gloss finish like the 360 before (until it went matte)
The image below really shows off that glossy finish but as we all know it will collect dust, I wonder if they will do what they did previously and revert back to matte!? (I hope not) I'm loving the look of the vents, I really think its breaks up the glossy finish, too much of something sexy isn't always good and less finger marks to clean too lol!
Whats on the inside?

- 8 x86 core processor - Using it with 'ease' being able to go from game to app without a fuss
- 500GB HDD - more game storage or app storage hell, even both!
- 3x USB ports
- Blu-ray - better looking games and movies (At last)
- 8GB RAM
What can it do?
It has SmartGlass integration where your mobile device can support you whilst playing games which we got a glimpse of during the dead Rising 3 demonstration. There is also in game capturing which you can share with your buddies. A great tool is editing your game footage which allows you to share on social networking sites - not something I would use but great for those who want an easy way of getting their videos out there without having to buy a game capture card, which can be pretty expensive!
Live membership has also improved slightly, from what I gather there is no longer a 100 friend limit, woo. You can also share the benefits of being a gold member to those in your household - I'm waiting on them to elaborate a little in terms of sharing 'benefits' hummm... I'm assuming more than one player cant be signed in at the same time.
Achievements have also become more 'personal' showing the player how they earned them. Theres also an update on the way you compare achievements to what your friends have earned - keeping that competition flowing baby!
Dont forget you're also getting Kinect with your console with has a 1080p integrated camera. Its become more precise and works better in almost any lighting. I think Kinect will be fun for a few days then i'll forget its there... even though I hear it will always be on, weird.
The controller
Other than the online experience my 2nd most favourite thing about having an Xbox is the pad, the design is pretty much the same with a few improvements here and there. Microsoft have bettered the triggers by having a improved vibration that is more realistic to what is going on in game. They've actually revised 40 alterations on the pad to create a better experience.
How much?
UK- £429
USD - $499
Yes a little steep, is it worth it? I don't know but it wont stop me from getting it, i'm quite frankly excited for it. Microsoft have changed small features here and there that I honestly think have made a huge difference.
