I would love to write a BT/Plex/uPnP client as an app but I read the Developer's Kit site on xbox.com and apparently you have to provide information about your game (or app I guess) BEFORE you get an App ID and can start developing. I doubt I'd get approved.
Yeah, they've gotten more and more strict about who gets to develop. It is stupid. Sony (for the PS3) was notoriously bad about not giving out dev kits. I don't understand why companies do this. Even Razer forced me to apply 3 times to get their SDK for their keyboard that I already owned. Wtf?
I much prefer the iOS and Android models (moreso the Android model due costs to entry) wherein you download the SDK and then must be approved after development. Hopefully, MS go this route eventually.
I see nothing where it says it's a Kinect game.
That "xbox one taking over the living room" thread got me thinking. Do you think MS will develop a DVR app? If they could subvert the DVR functionality from the provider's settop box then you'd only need it for tuning the stations. They'd also have much more recording space than a typical DVR box I think. And they'd be one more crucial step closer to taking over the entire experience.
I think their goal is to get all the cable companies to support a VOD app that can will also feed live signals like the VZ FIOS.
the 2 last .gifs up above looked like it was someone kind of controlling the pen to make the line. but it might be controlled by the controller who knows, i probably shouldn't have made that assumption. i was just googling and couldn't find out too much info in regards to it either.
You mean so the provider would have all of their transmitted content available on demand instead of at designated times?
MS would love to, and many users would love it also... However, there's no way the cable/sat companies would ever allow it.That "xbox one taking over the living room" thread got me thinking.

No, he means that so the Xbox actually becomes the cable box via an IPTV type app, similar to the U-Verse app for the 360.
