A big problem that plagued many early models of the Xbox 360 was the fact that they were easily vulnerable to overheating, which more often than not resulted in the infamous “red ring of death.” However, Microsoft has learned from this, and have included a self-regulating system in the Xbox One to prevent overheating.

Microsoft recently performed another 180 as they had previously been adamant about the Xbox One requiring its Kinect sensor in addition to its bundle price of $499, to then announce the Xbox One will continue to function if it doesn’t have a Kinect sensor plugged in.

It’s better — in fact, we’ve told you as much on a couple of occasions. But for those who seriously can’t manage another day without listening to Microsoft’s own blood wax poetic about the Xbox One controller, there’s a seven-minute infomercial video waiting for you just after the break.

For more than two years, 105 people at Microsoft have been trying to improve the video game controller. The results go on sale this fall in the form of the Xbox One’s gamepad. The new controller sports changes big and small—but, thankfully, it won’t emit smells. Yes, they actually tried that.
