xbox 360 controller vs xbox one controller for pc

I set the One up at my work area, so I had to awkwardly position my face in front of the Kinect camera to make the auto login work but if you’ve got a more normal setup I can see this being supremely convenient. Indeed, the Xbox One can actually log you into your appropriate Xbox Live account based on recognizing your face alone. A combination of the Kinect camera that comes with every Xbox One and IR transceivers in every controller is all you need to figure out player/controller mapping. You’ll notice the controller position indicators are gone as well (not only from the One, but from the controllers themselves). The ring of light from the Xbox 360 is gone and replaced with a single, white, backlit Xbox logo on the front of the console. There’s a Kensington security slot to the right of all of the IO on the Xbox One. Kinect has its own port on the rear of the chassis and there’s an IR port as well. On the AV front there’s an optical output and HDMI in/out. I’m still shocked that the PS4 shipped with 2.4GHz only WiFi in 2013. Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band 802.11n WiFi handle Internet connectivity. I have to say that I prefer Sony’s stance on this one.

Support for external storage is apparently on its way, as the Xbox One doesn’t allow end user upgrades of the internal 500GB hard drive. There’s a single USB 3.0 port on the left side of the chassis, with two more on the rear of the machine. I’ll start with IO on the sides and back. Dare I say it almost looks like a PC, and if you crack open the chassis you’ll be reminded of the same. The One completes the journey back to its roots. The past couple of revisions of the 360 have moved towards sharper angles and away from the curves of the original 360. The Xbox 360 was a journey into a weird sort of industrial design that was a significant departure from the original. Sitting on a stand, desk or rack from across the room the One looks clean, simple and honestly, it looks like an Xbox. I wish it felt a little more durable, but perhaps that’s the mobile side of me speaking where materials are a bigger deal. This is by no means one of our usual thorough review jobs, just a side quest I found myself on over the past few days. I’ve been playing with final hardware and near final software for a few days now and I wanted to share some thoughts. Earlier this morning Microsoft lifted the embargo on press reviews of the Xbox One.
