It one of those things that may be useful to some people but has zero appeal to me. I don't love it, hate it, or find it interesting. I'm indifferent to it

Could it be useful? Yes Is it in response to the Wii U tablet like Sony's cross connect thingy? Definitely

Sounds like a half assed attack at the WiiU. Will any of it honestly be worth it? I love Game of Thrones but I couldn't see myself sitting there with my phone going, "Oh man, better check up with my phone and ignore the program so I can check where the characters are even though I can tell that by watching the program!!!"

The South Park guys destroyed it at it's own unveiling. "I've always wanted to play a game on my TV, with my phone next to me, connected to my tablet, connected to my computer, connected to my refrigerator..." It's a bad case of tech for the sake of tech. It's not filling any void. It's not doing anything that anybody ever asked for. I can be sent friend requests on my iPad, and accept them and it'll take me to the game on the screen? :o WOW! But wouldn't it be *way easier* to just send the invite via the xbox and the TV seeing as i'm already sat in front of it? Why put the controller down and pick up the iPad to do it?

Based on what Nintendo showed at E3 I don't think anyone has to worry about the Wii U :/

I could see it being useful.

Being able to browse IE and navigate my dash using my phone's touch screen is pretty cool. Game applications are a big unknown right now, as you should expect.

Imagine a game like Aliens: Colonial Marines where you could use you phone or tablet as the radar just like in the movie so you can free up some real estate on your TV screen.

Or maybe a game like Catherine where you get a call in the game... but instead your phone rings and you can read your texts/emails and send texts/emails from there. That could be a bit more immersive than seeing a simulate phone on your TV.

The tech's in its infancy so I imagine there will be more ideas floating around out there as time goes on.

The one thing Microsoft has never been good at doing is innovation. They've never learnt from Apple how to marry innovation and social needs. I thought Windows 8 had useless features. It had nothing on SmartGlass. Cool concept, but.

Its like the new Sixaxis or Wii Speak, something that will be forced for a while before seeing the tiniest of use in later titles, if at all.

Looking down at a device for "radar" breaks the immersion.

Your eyes have to be constantly up down up down.

Gaming is going backwards.

I don't hate it, I just don't want it or know anybody who would.

Keep that crap off my games and put my radar on my goddamn screen where it's supposed to be.

I really don;t see it being forced like sixaxis. I doubt essential functions of games will be tied to it.

i like it for a few reasons, the ie9 on the tv and you can type in the URL bar with your iphone. Instant best web browser on all consoles, its also MS so u expect that. I do like the idea of it to have tidbits of info, especially sports games I can see stats and little things like that will add value. Also drawing up play on madden is great. So to me it has alot of potential, and is yet another thing XBOX LIVE is giving you the option to do.

They have the map at the beginning of each episode. Also I always just look on my phone after because I have the map of Westeros, Essos, and Sothoros on my phone.

I love the idea of it. Of course Playstation fans downplay it because the Vita and PSP have never truely integrated with the PS3. I like that we can have game integration and all of that stuff too.

I just don't care. I'm sure there could be some clever uses of it though. Let's say your playing a horror game, how cool would it be to get some sort of in game call from the killer/murderer?
