TEN HUT! Stand up straight new recruits, because the major is in the house. Or to be more specific, Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb, one of the public faces for Microsoft and Xbox. Our roving Energiser Bunny reporter Grant Hinds got to chat him, where they discussed fan feedback and growth in good ol’ South Africa. AT EASE!

You will be able to Skype… when its a full x86 platform…
How about G+ and twiter and FB and all the rest.
Nice how the Platform will be able to support a product they own??
And i don’t care about any social media, just saying that its pointless saying it will support there own product. Wonder how people used to play together without it…

I think Nelson did himself a disservice mentioning that. Plenty of other cool things to mention, I mean, it was like that was thrown in for the grannies to understand or something…

1. Kinect? No one wants it. Exclude it already and sell the console cheaper.
2. Skype? Good luck finding any one who cares about Skype.
3. Cloud? You mean dedicated servers? The ones that cost a fortune to run and gets turned of as soon as they feel like it. XBOX gold account will at least keep the money rolling in even though you already paid for TitanFall.
To quote a recent comment. XBOX is bestest!

I’d like to see them slip him a few Red-Bulls, more bang for buck imo.

P.S: That’s maybe the most docile version of Grant I’ve ever seen. What did you guys hit him with an elephant tranquillised before you rolled the video?
