Went out and impulse purchased an xb1 today. Started it up, excited by the rush of an impulse buy, got to the dash after an update and signed in.
And then the excitement died down. I went to download KI, but after that it started going down hill. I got a party invite, but couldn't figure out how to find it after missing the initial invite. So I had to go to friends, past the feed into friends, click my friend and join his party. And then I had to enable party chat to start talking.
Of course following that, his voice was coming through my tv and I was talking through kinect. I had to unplug and replug the headset to get talking. But hey! Its working!
Onto KI, ran great played fun despite getting whooped even though we both were on the free version and running Sadira. Until we both disconnected. At which point, regret was setting in.
I went back to the marketplace to look at the downloadable titles, but couldn't find an 'all games' section and bing searching Strider brought up results for Tomb Raider?
At this point I was frustrated, and went to download Crunchyroll only to discover there is bo xb1 crunchyroll app. How am I supposed to watch my animu dammit. No fault to MS though.
Whatever, I have both a ps360 for that, no worry. I went to start Netflix after a short DL. Started up Freaks n Geeks, and the screen was really dark and volume was really low. Normally, my TV is set to 30 volume, I had to turn it to 60 to hear it regularly. Not sure if this is the app or the xb1 or what.
At this point, I was through and just went back to playing gtav on my 360.
Now having used all 3 consoles and owning two/three, In terms of OS functionality: Wii U > PS4 > XB1 (ps4 is the only one to have Crunchyroll)
Tl;dr I had a horrible experience with my xb1 today and I'm regretting this purchase.
Until now. I'm selling it for $540 ( with BF4!) and already found a buyer. I bought it for $525 (target employee discount son) and got a $50 gift card as well, so I'm making a $60 profit. So everything turned out for the better. Thank you MS, paid for my copy of titanfall
