  1. Question about Kinect from newbie


    Hi all.

    Just got the Xbox one without Kinect. I was wondering how it would affect the console if i was to get one seperately later. I read in the past that Microsoft released some memory that was saved for the kinect to release a little extra power to the gaming
    part (about 10% i think).

    If thats the case, does it mean that when you connect a kinect that the performance drops off badly on the games, or would it be necessary to unplug the kinect when playing a game.

    I ask because i may decide to use the console for SKYPE and the kinect would be needed for that, but i want the best output for games that i can get aswell.

    :)

  3. Question about volume control

    Newbie question about volume control on the media remote - is this only for controlling the volume on a 'recognized' TV or receiver via IR blasting or can this control the actual volume output via HDMI or Optical out from the device?

    Thanks in advance!

    They released part of the processing power that was reserved for Kinect. It just means that developers have an extra bit of power to play with. Having Kinect won't make any difference performance wise.

    Using things like the voice control and Skype really make the difference. Can't imagine my console without it mate!

    Games that use the extra resources just allocate rhem automatically and just shut off motion sensing, voice commands still function.
