Console won't boot without it plugged in.

It's also not clear if there will be a physical power button, meaning the only way to turn the damn thing on will be for Kinect to hear the phrase "Xbox On", meaning stuffing it in a cupboard won't be a particularly effective idea.

Where'd you get that bit of FUD from? They wouldn't ever do that, the console would be inaccessible to deaf/mutes.

When I turn it off I'll probably disconnect the power and turn it back on when I want to play it. In fact I bet it would be easy to create a pi hack that let's me turn the power on and off with a button. I also doubt they won't have a button, what happens if my mic breaks?
