What's not to like about the Xbox?
It syncs with your cable box and allows you to lose your TV, cable and sound system remotes without worry. (Perfect if you have kids)
You can not only control it with your voice but if people are being loud you can grab your controller, phone or tablet to change channels or what ever you might be doing.
You can watch TV/listen to music and play games at the same time on the same screen.
It plays video games.
The online service is cheap. (I guess that's relative to how cheap people are but I think it's reasonable, haha.)
The online service has more security and up time compared to Sony's.
When Windows 10 drops you will be able to stream your games to your laptop/pc and watch TV in its full sized glory so your wife can stop glaring at you for hogging the TV.
It has great apps. Great community. It's easy to use.
I have the Day One Edition and have never had any problems that unplugging the system and plugging it back in couldn't fix.
I honestly think it's a great investment. Even if you decide you aren't going to use it for gaming, it's really quite handy in just the entertainment aspect alone.
Edit: Forgot, it's control is the best! I can play for hours and have dry, non-cramped hands.
Plus, if you have kids it's really funny watching them try to do voice commands and getting pissed off that it only seems to work for adults.

Edited by F1nner: 2/11/2015 10:38:15 PMMy Xbox one bricked 2 months after I bought it. My ps4 has given me over 650 hours of play time and soooo much more Netflix time. My Xbox was used for about 40 hours and now it's dead

I didn't judge Microsoft as a whole

That sounds terrible man. I'm sorry for you. However, my buddy works at a repair shop and has been there for over 6 months and they have only received 2 xbox ones and both were because the disk drive got stuck. He has seen quite a few PS4s roll through there for numerous reasons. It's actually the reason why he bought an Xbox One.
-
Thanks, and I don't doubt that Sony has bad units too, I'm just trying to give the OP perspective. I have a 360 and I LOVE it, more than my ps3. Although it is a 360 slim, I know the first 360s had a lot of trouble and I don't know if the 1s will have the same issue...?
-
Yeah. Original 360s processor would over heat a lot after a year or so of use. They fixed that when they did the Elite models... elite? Sounds wrong and right at the same time... anyway, I doubt the Xbox One will have the same issue ever. About 30% of the Xbox One is cooling fan, lol. Might be exaggerated but I have seen the insides and the fan is -blam!-ing huge.
-
I liked the x1, although I liked the ui of 360 more...Maybe just because I was more used to it. I am just pissed about this. I usually only buy consoles when there are enough games I wanna play, I only bought this x1 so soon bc I got the white one. Hopefully they fix it free and I can continue being a satisfied Xbox owner
-
I hope so too. I would be pretty upset for you if they don't fix it for free. Not with that little use.
-
I know! I play destiny on ps4 so I only played with the Xbox a little bit.

A civil conversation on the Internet? This must be staged!

Err..umm...I mean.... get gud scrub ...whew...That was close

In all seriousness you and Mordecai are the kind of people in the Internet I respect because you play on different counsels and still talked to each other like civilized human beings
-
Well thank you! I know, when I posted my first comment I was expecting to get hate, but I was surprised.
-
No Thank you for restoring some of my faith in humanity

So a random defective unit represents the entire system. My buddy got a ps4 and it didn't work when he tried to set it up. Again it was a random defect no reason to judge Sony as a whole.
