Xbox One, anyone got one?

[MC]

Promised myself I wouldn't bother with the next gen' consoles, but I'm thinking about getting an Xbox One.

Played Forza 5, really like it, played GTA 5 in first person (albeit on the PS4) and thought it added a new dimension to the game (although I could wait for the PC ver.)

What puts me off is the reliance on an internet connection, and the limitations I've heard about regarding media playback on next gen' consoles.

So anyone got one and do you think they're worth it?

You can pick up bundles with both of those games from Amazon. You might as well wait until boxing day now since you're not desperate to get one.

Would you not have an internet connection for it? I would have thought GTA V and Forza would only be half a game if you had to play them offline..

Console is good and very quiet, but it is big. The Smartglass app enables you to use your smartphone as a remote which is pretty cool.

I've used it as a media player by plugging in my external HDD full of legitimately obtained TV series and films and works great - with the Smartglass app too.

I have an internet connection, it's just not brilliant, so not really up to DL'ing full games (the Forza bundles seem to be a digital copy).

I have a PC, but I've not upgraded it since the summer, so it's already obsolete

I use mine but have the master race box chilling in the corner.

Xbox gets used for Destiny, big time.

I have 4-5meg internet at the moment and it plays online fine.

Downloads take a while though. At the moment GTA 5 updates fairly regularly and they're always 1.1gb in size unlike the 76mb updates on the 360

It can take up a sizable chunk of your fair usage just updating. Why they can't be small patches I'll never know.

You'll only have to download Forza once, just start it then go out for a few hours.

Had a look at Destiny, is it worth getting?

Hi, we are fortunate to have the one and the ps4.

Regarding media, both have Netflix, Iplayer etc. But the Ps4 can't play video files ie MP4 avi etc.

There is a player for the one, but the last time I looked it was a beta version but it did work. The one has a side usb slot.

Saying that I don't see this as an issue, I used to use my PS3 or 360 for playing movies off usb. Nowadays I always the usb slot on my TV. My TV can also connect and play videos over my home lan.

Sony have recently added MP3 playback. Though I don't think it can play audio CDs, this certainly was the case though it may have changed.

Last time I tried the xbox one could play CDs, but it was crap compared to the 360 as there was no facility to rip the music to the hard drive.

One other thing to note xbox one games take f.......ages to install, like agessssssssssss.

Anyone playing GTA V on Xbox one (or xbox 360 as a secondary), want to buddy up? At the moment I'm a (very) easy target, need to level up and gain experience from someone. On 25 (one) and 6 (360 only use this because my daughter has one).
