Dear Microsoft. #TheThingsICareAbout #XboxRevealSweet announcement. So many questions left unanswered.

1) Is the Xbox One "online required" to play games? More specifically, can the men and women serving our country, currently posted in places like Korea and Iraq, unwind and enjoy some gaming while not having stable, if any, internet connectivity?

2) Is the Xbox One backwards compatible? Can I play say, Halo 4 or Mass Effect 3, on my Xbox One? What about downloadable games I've purchased, such as Mass Effect (original)?

3) Does all the neat TV stuff, require a standard cable TV provider, or is that one of the many things you've "put in the cloud?"

3) Does all the neat TV stuff, require a standard cable TV provider, or is that one of the many things you've "put in the cloud?"

4) Does NHL get all the fancy pants League & Fantasy cooperative stuff?

5) How does the Xbox One play on something other then a TV in a living room. Say a computer monitor, in ones office? Do I HAVE to have that giant sensor box on my desk, or does it just offer optional functionality like the Kinect?

-- edit, adding some new stuff. --

6) Does it support 4K resolutions?

7) What is the proposed life cycle.
