Can't even watch the event with the app. Just buffers.

 

[JPDVM2014]

I'll be getting one!

 

[sinime]

Sign me up!

Edit: meh, "Later this year."... Was hoping for a release date, but I guess they can't let us look up their skirt, this close to E3.

I'm interested, not so much for the gaming, but for the rest of it. Sure, some games I would probably get for it, but I don't really believe in paying 60€ for a game that barely lasts 20 hours. It would nicely fulfill my Microsoft ecosystem (Win 8, Surface, WP8) and get me a bluray player at the same time.

That said, a lot of the stuff will likely never be of any use here in Finland like the sports integrations (dont even watch sports, though) etc..

Depends on the price of the cheaper version that has the mandatory 2 year xbox gold thing, I might get that one, but not really interested in sinking a lot of money into a glorified media player.

I am not into gaming and the Ps3 does everything else I need, so no.

I will take 2 thank you very much

 

[theefman]

At least one, maybe two depending on how the TV pans out.

 

[ricbon]

me!!!!!!!

 

[abel920]

Depends what PS4 will bring - I've grown up with PS, hehe.

 

[hahaha10000]

How much is it expected to cost?

 

[JoeDizzle33]

Still not sure between PS4 or Xbox One. I've been with Playstation since the beginning but since getting my windows phone with the Xbox tile, I might switch to have further integration.

 

[Nimdock]

I am for sure.

If I can for release day, I will. These consoles are just so hard to get at launch.

 

[Reflexx]

Oh heck yes.

 

[purevibz]

I will be getting two, I need one for my bed room.

I really don't care about the gaming aspect since I only do PC games (nothing worse than a game controller, as far as I'm concerned). It's all the other aspects that attract me. The question I have--and this is a deal-breaker for me--with the TV aspects work with a sat? I refuse to give up Dish Network for cable TV, period. So, if Xbox One can work with whatever TV feed and have the guide work, then I'm sold on this puppy.

 

[ilhe1s]

I'm definitely going to get One!

I've had the first 2 Xboxes and this looks like it'll be my next. Not sure why but I expected it to be a little thinner.
