I was wondering what the chances are of Microsoft brining out an app that let's you use your tablet as a game screen (like wii u or ps4 vita) because come evening the wife wants to watch telly so I have to quit xbox for the day. I know I could snap it but I find that most distractive

    Can't your wife just watch TV on the tablet instead? ;)

    Doubtful, how would you control the game? On-screen controls just don't work well for most games.

    They would need to bring out a specific device for this. Remote play is awesome.

    I can use the iPad as a second screen for some games on the 4 but not actually play any games with it.

    Keep using the joypad. I'm not talking about using it away from home just linking into the same network and send sound and pic to pad via wifi using smartglass

    Would be too much lag I would think. I like this idea though :)
