- There will be NO advertisements on the Xbox One dash
- Friends List will be capped at 1,000
- Consumers no longer need to worry about the size of their hard drive because Xbox One includes a built in 500GB hard drive and unlimited storage in the cloud. And since you can save and run full games to and from the cloud, 500gb of HDD is overkill

- The controller will have a future "add-on" but I can't talk about that right now

- HDMI pass thru is just ONE way Xbox One can fuse with cable/satellite, not the ONLY way
