[QUOTE="spoonman, post: 75408, member: 382"] Actually the live TV stuff is probably the best the Xbox One has to offer. Since I only subscribe to basic cable ($10/month) and Netflix, it won't do me much good. These commercial boxes will NEVER make good media servers because they don't give the consumer any control I've their owned content. I have 9TB of backed up movies, and 800 DVD/BR discs which I like to backup to MKV. I'd have to convert that once again to another format to play on the Xbox One. It's funny because the Xbox 1 makes a better media player than the Xbox One in terms of playable file types when XBMC is installed. Also: 1: Microsoft couldn't have chosen a dumber name for it. When the 360 came out people were already calling the original Xbox, the "Xbox 1". I guess the Xbox 720 was too obvious. Either that or some shmuck bought the domain as soon as the 360 was announced. 2: it looks like a 1996 DELL desktop. I would be too tempted to place a 19" SVGA CRT on top of it! ;) 3: MS still can't touch the library of exclusives that Sony has. 4: that video demo of the guy switching channels with his hands. Does anyone really want to do that in real life? He looks like he's desperately wafting a fart away from himself... All to switch to ESPN. Then you have voice control. Has anyone tried to use this while watching a movie at a decent volume? There is no way it would work properly. 5: No used game support or backwards compatibility whatsoever. These were rumors for a long time, but now it's official. Making it so you can't play a friend's disc in your Xbox One without paying a fee to MS makes them seem even more greedy. I understand they don't make money from used game sales or rentals, but I think this is a bad idea and will bite them in the ass. Does anyone remember how much heat Capcom got for pulling their Resident Evil Merca 3DS DRM where you were unable to delete your save file from the cartridge which killed the value of the used version. One look at it on Amazon.com will give you an idea of what people felt about that! Sony is looking like a champ right about now. [/QUOTE]
