I'm starting to think I might get neither this time and invest in the Hackintosh I've always wanted.

getting rid of my cable bill will help but this thought has crossed my mind. Do I need an Xbox Live account to stream movies (Netflix, Hulu, Etc etc.) and play games by myself (forza)? I haven't had an Xbox since the first gen one but a ton of my friends use Xbox so if I want to play with them I'll probably buy the Live package.
I think I need it to stream music don't I?

That fucking power brick haha
> b-b-bbut it will overheat when it's in the console
How come an iMac which has a huge hot screen in it and a PSU and the new Mac Pro with 2 video cards in a tiny case manages a PSU internally too.
Yet this huge thing can't?

The entire xbox strategy's founded on the early 00's assumption (actually, somewhat of an early 90s cocneit too) that 'some kind of singular box' would provide all of the media consumption for a household.
This never happened and probably won't; The entire raison d'etre of the XBox from a broad-strategic perspective is nullified.
People swapped their PCs for tablets and Phones, not media centres and sadly for MS they fluffed both of their strategies for these platforms, possibly because (you might argue) of a focus on XBox.
Which is to say, the investors calling for XBox to be spun off probably have a point...

^ I don't think this is true, as of 2012 all blu-ray players have that. Either that or the PS4 can't play Blu-Rays

You know what? That power brick is FUCKING HUGE. Reviews kind of mention it, but my god, I feel Microsoft have got a huge huge pass on this one. If Apple or Nokia or Sony or anyone else released a product with such poor, ugly, lazy design they'd get absolutely ridiculed.
- But not Microsoft. They never get ridiculed.ORAZAL
- Think the point is paid reviewsanimatedgif
- It looks like a VCR from the late 80sukit2

*update.
While waiting for the HomeWorx HW150PVR over the air cable to HDMI converter box to arrive my bedroom flat screen died.
It took a few days to convince the wife to take the 42" from the living room into the bedroom and buy a newer bigger flatscreen for the living room. I was thinking of getting a 47" Smart TV then I could return the Xbox and just use the Smart TV apps to stream movies.
Well I ended up getting a 51" Plasma TV that isn't a "smart tv" so back to thinking of using the Xbox One. But now the 51" TV doesn't fit in our media cabinet so I went to Ikea last weekend and bought completely new media center combination that I'm going to put together tomorrow.TLDR
Still in the box waiting for this weekend to set up a completely new media center and cabinet.- i hope it doesn't disappoint hahaBabySnakes
- no kidding! But I got a new Plasma and new living room out of it.fooler
- "look what stuff i got"robthelad
- nice!ok_not_ok
- @ robthelad. don't be such a sour grapefooler
- well, that's not helping me make my decision at all.... :)aliastime
- believe me I see the humor in me saving $20 on a game system them spending hundreds more rearranging my living room.fooler
- ...living roomfooler
- oh man plasmas, more trouble than they're worth. "muh image retention, better leave it on the static channel for an hour"animatedgif
- The new Plasmas are supposed to be much better, Although the reflection of the glass compared to the plastic film of a LED is driving me nutsfooler
- film of a LED is driving me nutsfooler
- Plus it was cheaper than a smaller sized "smart" LED. The colors are incredible.fooler
