Fiddled around with mine last night. UI feels slick and powerful, esp. with Kinect shortcuts, which worked very well for me. Didn't see any games I felt compelled to buy.
Where are:
- demos?
- DLNA support? (I used my ipad as a bridge to play to the xbox, but I can just do that to the tv directly)
- Browse all games?
The power on/off stuff seems good, except it can't turn my receiver on and off. Haven't figured out how to tell it what receiver I have, or if this is even actually possible/working.
Media services (amazon, netflix, vudu, etc.) seem to work fine, but that's to be expected when all the other devices in my entertainment center, including my TV, already have them as well.
Have not tried Skype yet.
TV integration is pretty cool, worked well with my cable box, even seems to record shows automatically on the DVR while I'm watching so that I can rewind, pause, etc. Too bad I never watch TV outside Netflix etc. except for Archer. It wasn't able to handle muting, though, because my TV's speakers are already off, since the receiver handles everything. Not being able to interact with the receiver seems like a moderately big downside.
Console settings didn't seem to be quite as in-depth as PS4's, although the screen calibration tools and advice are a nice addition for users who have never bothered with such a thing.
