    All these glossy demos, but still no-one's stuck a camera in it to show us what it actually looks like from the inside.

      They have, and it's kind of lame compared to the concept videos they show. It only grants you a tiny FOV which you're supposed to work within, which is far from the fully immersive world that they showcase in the concept videos.

    Field of View has been stated as "equivalent of a 15" monitor at 2 feet". Ergo, quite small. Immersive, it is not.

    The point is that "leak" is misleading. If it's MS informing us about one of their products, then it's not a "leak".
