Abstract: More than most gadgets, the Xbox One is a snapshot of our times. No other piece of technology released this year quite encapsulates the promise and potential peril of the age we're living in. Microsoft's new console, ostensibly a device for playing video ...
This is THE allinone entertainment unit with built in bluray, Simple to use for the whole family, Separate profiles for different users
It got hit with the ugly stick repeatedly, NZ content sucks, I can't use live TV with it and it would be good to have Quickflix etc on, Don't think you can just always sit down and play, updates come quite often
The Xbox One is a great device, it's in its early days and just like the 360, the best is yet to come. It is still worth being the centre of your setup, but just not as a pure games machine. I want to give it a higher score, but the lack of NZ support doe...
Beautiful graphics, great gameplay experience, Subtly redesigned, extraordinarily comfortable controller, Blu-ray disc playback, HDMI input for pass-through from Freeview/Sky decoder, Full web browser, YouTube support, Skype calling and other apps
Menu system is an awkward mix of 360 and Windows 8, Space-hungry, will not stand up on its end in ‘tower style', Not compatible with Xbox 360 headsets, Some features currently missing for NZ users (voice commands, EPG)
Altogether, I like the Xbox One. If my own Xbox 360 stopped working, I'd replace it with a One. When I have to give the review console back to Microsoft's PR firm, I'll be looking at prices and working out whether I want to keep playing all the new games...
So, it's two category wins each for Microsoft and Sony, with four draws.The Xbox has recently grown into being the multimedia hub that Microsoft always promised, ideal for those who want to switch easily between games, media streaming, Skype, live TV and...
Simply based on the number of category wins, the Xbox One is rivalling or even beating the PS4. It has recently grown into being the multimedia hub that Microsoft always promised, ideal for those who want to switch quickly between, or multitask, all the d...
Solid construction, Double wireless range, Sweat-resistant surfacing, 3.5mm headphone jack
Minimal customization
If money is no object, we still recommend the Xbox One Elite controller, which offers the same upgrades as the Recon Tech gamepad, plus many others. If that's too much money, though, it is absolutely worth it to spend an extra $10 for the Recon Tech...
Even though Sony has the market cornered on the whole "for gamers, by gamers" phrase, Microsoft makes a pretty compelling case for the title. With more platform-exclusive games, an eye on the indie scene and its promotional Games with Gold deal, the Xbox
We don't don't know about you, but we're not in love with the idea of monolithic system taking up a quarter of our media cabinet. The Xbox One is big, bulky a looks like it was designed to replace the VCR, not the Xbox 360. The controllers, thankfully, ar
Xbox One is finally picking up steam. It's moved to sell at $350 and there are a plethora of great, platform-exclusive games ready to pick up right now, not down the road in 2015. It's the best place for media enthusiasts with DLNA support, removed Xbox L...

Excellent game selection, Great online service, The best controller going, Unmatched media features, Able to evolve constantly
Inferior graphics, Confusing UI without Kinect, Poor sharing options, Ugly unit design
It might look big and bulky next to its slimmer version, the Xbox One S, but these days the older Xbox One can be found for some temptingly low prices. If you're willing to sacrifice the 4K functionality of the Xbox One S, then the Xbox One is still a gre...
The Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch are both very different devices in many respects, so they're hard to easily compare. The Xbox is slightly cheaper, and offers most of the standard big budget videogames on some pretty powerful hardware, while the Switc...
