    On the lack of Youtube, I blame Google (considering there's no Youtube app on the PS4 either, the decision is probably coming from Google). However, Microsoft has stated the version of Internet Explorer on the Xbox One will be able to play Youtube videos, so we can only hope that provides a similar experience as a dedicated app.

    They won't be point-based achievements, they will be the new challenge achievements that are worth 0 gamerscore.

    I really hope they will make a dedicated YouTube app. I would love to voice-command YouTube together with Netflix, the Dashboard, some Xbox games and more :)

    They need to overhaul the Twitch app. Incorporate chat display, proper dimensions and resolutions, reduce the delay, etc. If Microsoft puts apps like this behind a paywall (Xbox Live Gold), it needs to significantly outperform what Sony is offering with free access to Netflix and Twitch apps.

    That delay is common to all apps on XBL. When I use EPSN, I tend to be about a minute behind what people get on cable, and the same went for the Presidential debates they broadcast on XBL a year ago through their Live Event Player. I do wish they would do something about that, but I'm guessing it's some sort of restriction of being an app instead of the main choice of viewing. Hopefully with Twitch streaming integrated into the Xbox One, it means they have fixed that going into the next-gen.

    Nope. While yes, they'll be 0g, they will still be achievements. There will additionally be challenges, too.

    But, I don't care about gamerscore. So, works for me!

    Then, don't use them? Why would you want to get rid of them? That's selfish.
