As we trudge on toward the November launch of new games consoles, the media barrage from the platform holders is gathering steam and today we have some more new videos from Microsoft talking up the features of the Xbox One.

First up, Microsoft has announced a partnership with online streaming video producers Machinma, and this video demonstrates how you can take advantage of the Xbox One's multi-tasking prowess to load and play videos while continuing to play a game at the same time. Essentially like PC gamers can do today, but Microsoft are wearing it as a feather in their cap as a point of difference from other consoles.



Next up, we have a new video featuring Xbox community rep Graeme "AceyBongos" Boyd and Product Planner Albert Penello running viewers through a couple of examples of software implementations that leverage Smartglass and Kinect in a variety of ways.
