Question for all you Xbox One owners?

how is it baffling? people do it all the time, i frequently check Amazon and Newegg for product reviews, this is really no different, and these gamers appear to have already decided to get an X1 before even posting here and were just looking for more information.

I think the number one thing for me is the games, whether that's the exclusives or not, I'm having a lot of fun with the Xbox One and at first I was sceptical that it could tear me away from the 360, but it's done just that.

A few other things I like are the controller, activity feed and leaderboards.

I dislike that everything is made up into an app which fails to load or work properly on the first try about 50% of the time, I also think this hurts the auto-on/resume feature as after I came back to my console it's like the 'apps' have frozen or timed
out so now I quit everything once I'm done using it and the console preforms much better on start-up.

Snap is one of my favorite features, comes in handy when tracking achievements and then the ability to search for walk throughs on TrueAchievements is fantastic, but as stated in some of the posts above, look at the games, otherwise it will be a waste of
money if there aren't games you're interested in, and you can normally find good deals for Gold subscriptions online, Amazon has been selling 12 months for $36 US.

There are some cons, it seems to vary from person to person, my biggest problem was with party chat, but that seems to have been fixed with the most recent update, some complain about about the install times for games, a lot of games this generation have
massive day one patches and the X1 tries to download them before it installs from the disc, sometimes taking hours, other than that the system has a few bugs that can be resolved by rebooting the system, some users report having to reboot several times a day,
I personally keep my X1 in instant on mode and rarely have to reboot, seems to be getting less and less, like a few times a month. The controller feels cheaper than the 360 controller because you can feel it flex a little when you really grip it, but it honestly
seems better built than the 360 because my day one controller is hardly showing any wear, and with the 360 I was buying a new controller about once a year.

If you have a friend that owns one, it would be best to get some hands on time with it, it's a great console, but it's not for everyone.

Also what are some cons of the Xbox One? I have checked sites but they don't really say! Thanks!

I guess it is all just personal. I like the online gaming on Xbox better than PlayStation. I actually also like the Xbox One interface better. Not a fan of that big line of stuff across the PlayStation and prefer to pin my favorites on the Xbox One.

I have to say there are some games on both that I just would not want to miss. So I would not want to miss out on either console.

Some features I like:

External HDD. We share our consoles but my oldest son has certain games he plays with friends. So, I leave those on the internal. The external I can move to different consoles and sign in and play if I want.

I like the pin feature where I can pin things I use a lot. I have some games and such there. Very useful for digital purchases.

I like how often MS is adding features and the update preview where they are testing new features regularly. That lets you have an idea of what is going on.

I like how easy, at least IMO, the dash is to use. Even without Kinect.

Other things as well. Some related to Win10 and Xbox One together. Not to mention when buying in you do get a game and GWG provides some nice titles at times if you like them. I have downloaded a few that were totally worth $$ for free and played them.
