@northArrow: Odd, I'm not having that issue at all. Seems to power on at the same rate and logging on to XBL is faster for me. I also really like it that I can stream my XB1 to my PC. It's a really nice feature. I didn't think I would have any use for it at first, but it actually does come in handy at times. if the wife is watching a lame TV show (rare now that she's on 'Fallout 4' almost constantly), I can cut the system on from my desktop and play to my hearts desire.

@penkowalskiAgreed. Holding a grudge over something that was originally proposed, but in the end, didn't happen, is rather sad, if not pathetic. The XB1 is a great console. I have no regrets having bought one.

I plan to get a PS4 someday, but right now my PC and my XB1 are keeping me busy enough as it is.

@barrica Only ever had to buy one 360, but mind you, I waited two years from release date before buying it. Never had a problem with it. I think people tend to forget that all gaming systems have their flaws(Mind you the early version of the 360's flaws were rather epic, but still). I know two PS3 owners that had to buy a second one, because their launch version went tits up. Most everyone I know who owned one, went through two PS2, including myself. I'll be waiting two years before diving into the next generation, and I'll buy the system that best suits my needs be Sony or Microsoft. Might even just build my own PC gaming system, as I miss PC gaming.
