Xbox one designed to be "on" for 10 years

Our information suggests the Xbox One design is based on an ambitious brief, essentially impossible to test in anything resembling real-life conditions, and so the company played it safe, putting unit reliability first. A highly placed source says that the console has been designed with a ten-year lifecycle in mind and that it is designed to be switched on for that entire period.

Despite the near-final hardware present at E3, the conditions made it impossible for the any kind of audio testing to be carried out on-site, but developers working with the hardware tell us that in its idle and low-activity states, the unit is entirely silent and you can barely feel any heat being output from the unit's vents.

LOL @ keeping a kinect camera on in your house for a decade.

That would make sense, since the thing can't be turned off w/o unplugging it.
Why are you pretending that having an NSA camera in your home is a good thing, though?

Not true. And why do you keep posting on the coli using your NSA box?

The same reason you do, I'd imagine.

the question should be how long will it run at full load

the whole "always on" thing was one of the silliest arguments to come out of these console wars. how do people think a TV remote works?

sure it is..

Didn't Microsoft put up 1 billion dollars so we could get those fixed for free
Thats messed up sony after losing a Class Action Lawsuit for the PS2's infamous Disc Read Error, they made sure the PS3 would last at least a year until the warranty ran out
Then this started to happen

and sony proceeded to charge you all $150 to fix it

Over half of the people on this site had to go thru that so I didn't have go thru that. Thank you based idiots

Spoiler

Ironically I have a launch BC PS3 that fell off the stand I had it on, cracked down the middle and still works flawlessly til this day. Its basically my daughters youtube and Twilight bluray player, but its clean tho
