Games? Better OS/media? Whatever rocks their boats.

Me because I don't play many games (and PC is still preferred platform for me). So, when I look at non-gaming features XB1 wins for me.
A couple of factual inaccuracies which I'm sure will be jumped on pretty quickly (neither Ryse or DR3 are 1080/60), but overall, I think it's a good write-up - particularly for people a bit less hardcore than most of us on here.
Which games?

Dang...hype intensifies...
Same. The Twitch delay admittedly does lessen the hype a little but even so...

Not sure how seriously we can take a review that didn't even take the time to fact check for gods sake. Did they just get some random guy who doesn't play games to review it while he wasn't busy?

Fantastic. Are there any streams going on now?

I wish I could get a google play music app for the XB1
I have a PC to game and use Windows 8.1.
Sigh. Microsoft hasn't convinced me that Kinect makes up for the experience.
What do you guys value?
I think I want one, but I second guess myself to the point of I just don't know.

These UI gifs do a better job than any hardware review. There's a lot of sexy things going in them.
Because clouds have silver linings.

For me, when I move back to India:
PC will be in a spare bedroom
For my entertainment/main area, I will need a blu-ray player, XB1 now can do that combine that with Skype, DVR (hopefully usable in India), Halo (pretty much main reason I like Xbox), Netflix, and use DLNA for streaming.
lol I dunno ask them, I have no idea what they're more excited about!

oh god, that does not help the wait. I want it now.
Yeah, I second this. I'm sorry for your loss SenjutsuSage.
Aside from Killer Instinct.
I've been following that game since it was announced.
Everything else though.

That's what....Nevermind ;-)
Eh, yeah I agree. He was asking me if I knew what they were excited about, I don't know them so I can't answer.
Personally I'm excited about the OS, Snap, Controller, TV, KI, DR3, Peggle 2, Ryse, Xbox Fitness and Zoo Tycoon.
For me, I was either buying a XB1 or Surface 2.
I can't decide.

I can only have one since I don't want to spoil myself.
Gamespot is going live with a UI-focused (I think) stream at midnight ET/9pm PT.
Get an Xbox, then get Surface in a year when it has a firesale
What if they are both on firesale next year?
Oh no what have I done.

If you keep waiting for a better firesale you will never get either!
For me, it's primarily about Dead Rising, Forza, Killer Instinct, and Zoo Tycoon. (I'm hyped for Ryse, but I'm equally worried about it not being very good.) Between those and the amazing UI...
I was excited for the PS4 launch and I've enjoyed my time with it (especially Resogun and Knack), but I am far more psyched for the Xbox One. Initially, I was primarily just getting an X1 because many of my friends were sticking with Xbox. It has become the system I am more excited about it, though, by a long shot.
I'm wondering if the Flash support in the browser will extend to the Spotify web app. I sure hope so. The Xbox Music app on Windows 8.1 is super slick though and expect that to extend to the Xbox One.

At the same time they get things very wrong.
"Microsoft's most impressive exclusive launch titles are Ryse: Son of Rome, Forza Motorsport 5 and Dead Rising 3, which all run in 1080p at 60 frames per second."
I'm excited as hell for the system, but this part is blatantly false and gets accusations flying around here.
Games really do help a lot, and the PS4 line up is lacking. Killzone was a bad choice because it competes directly with COD and Battlefield for shooters. Knack .... is Knack (actually I don't think it's had a fair shot). The rest is indies, great but very short/not a whole lot of depth/re playability usually.
I think the Xbox One OS is exciting a lot of people unlike the PS4's as well, I just generally saw no hype for it.
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
and when he played some music with snap
Really hope I can snap Padora's website while gaming.
I could deal with them saying its 1080p because there are tons of people that don't know the difference between upscaled and native but the 60fps thing is dumb.

This is my mental state as I prepare for Xbox One.
I've had my ups and downs. My fair share of RRODs and Kinect 1.0 titles. That's what made me what I am today. Now I stand here before you. What you see is a console crafted to perfection. A pair of devices engineered to defy the laws of physics. And a mindset to master the most epic of launches.

I second this. Senjutsu has been a Microsoft loyal since forever. Would be nice if Microsoft made this nice gesture.
Thirded! They've been giving them out willy nilly, wouldn't be difficult to give Sen one.
Someone PM Albert!
That's really sad man. Truly sorry for your loss.

Need to find an IR controlled toaster and coffee machine/teasmade.
