They probably mean the illumiroom feature and the tighter Kinect integration, shipping Kinect with the xbox instead of offering it as periphal device.

It'll be like the old way, but called "new" for marketing purposes.

Cloud gaming? Other companies have tried and failed, but MS has a decent track record and tons of money and infrastructure to pull it off. Imagine just having a thin client that sits next to your TV and streams your games... I tried a demo of On-Live and the latency wasn't that noticeable. Considering they pulled the optical drive, they are already planning to stream all games and content, why not the entire game itself?

Thoughts?

@DaveRuddell. They certainly have the technology, they purchased soft tricity a few years ago and use this in delivering office 2013 on demand. Chunking the suite into smaller parts that meet just in time requirements to deliver the features you are currently using. But the end goal is a full download. Might mean you can start playing the game win a few seconds whilst it completes downloading...
