Exclamation X-Box - VS -Play-4 Nice review

Although I'm not a console gamer this video is a nice tech review of them...

BTW; Admins, anyway we could get a dedicated thread titled for Computer questions , with hardware-software as topics.
Just a thought.

I heard the new systems are already having problems. Some xbox one's have bad cd drives out of the box. They grind and click.

A kid I work with pre ordered a xbox 1 and he got it on friday took it home hooked it up and it wouldn't work, the microsoft screen would come up and then everything would go black, needless to say he was pissed, it ruined his weekend, what a nerd! He said the place where he ordered it wouldn't have more till monday.

The first gen of any new version of a console always seem to be notoriously glitchy.
Especially MS products.

Why pay to be a Microsoft beta tester? And be frustrated and PO's to boot?
I'd wait until they have all of the bugs resolved before I'd buy.
Or at the very least, find a non-biased gaming forum and lurk around until to get a good feel of where the consoles are and what you'll have to deal with if you get one.

I quit playing when the kids started making me look bad some years....maybe a decade ago. My 18 year old (youngest) hasn't picked up the handset on his Xbox since he discovered girls a few years ago........
