    I’ve had a Day 1 edition Xbox One that I’ve used nearly every day since release. Admittedly, not great for games, but it’s been an absolute powerhouse of a media center for me. Twitch, youtube, plex, any streaming service, and a blu ray. If for some reason I can’t stream something to it, I can plug in my chromecast or laptop, and with passthrough, it’s literally all I’ve needed in my living room for the past 10 years.

    For the first time yesterday I very honestly considered boxing it up and getting rid of it after booting it up and getting this forced full screen ad before getting to my homepage. Fuck this shit.

      You shouldn’t consider it. You should do it. But too bad M$ already has the money so they won’t care of you flog the unit off second hand.
