@yoshi95 I don't know. This makes more sense than Rovio talking about going public last year. With two smaller studios, they can still focus on a pet project. Rovio can stick with Angry Birds and the new Stockholm studio 20-30 people isn't really a lot) can bring something new to the portfolio.
@nanowerx I prefer my devices to do what they're intended to do well and not proliferate unrelated and unnecessary functionality.
What value do things like Netflix add to a gaming experience? It is convenient, but is it relevant?
Also, saying I can just unplug my console from the web and my problems are solved is a flippant and careless answer. Online gaming and game-related data sharing (ghost cars and lap times for example) are very relevant and add value to the gaming experience.
I'd be more excited if they would announce an Xbox that only played games and left out all the other stuff like adverts I never pay attention to and apps I never use.
You know, what a console used to be before corporate giants decided to use the consoles to wage their war for control of the living room.
I might be the only person who is actually somewhat pleased with the bug. I'm not fond of the femShep hairstyles that have buns or ponytails. It's been a nice "redo" situation for me.
@Raffi256 If you've played any of the other Mass Effect games, you'll know it's not without precedence. I love Mass Effect but every game has suffered from lots of bugs, big and small. I've only played the 360 versions so I can't speak for other platforms.

So no, I don't want to unplug my console.
