XBOX One Review

 


State of the Art,  One of A Kind.

" XBOX One was designed to be the most advanced gaming console ever,
and the best entertainment console. "




                                                      unveiling the XBOX One


Microsoft did something unprecedented and necessary for this dynamic, and multifaceted system.  For the first time ever, Microsoft created a new state-of-the-art gaming OS. It is actually a blending of 3 OS systems.  Microsoft Gaming OS are the most stable platforms it has for any of its hardware.   (This revolutionary blending of operating systems may be the beginning of a brand new OS in the future.)  I have always wondered if Microsoft would ever merge its OS with its stable gaming  XBox 360 OS.  Finally,  They did it! 

Customers do not have burdened with that annoying switching that is too complicated for some users (Moms do not want to deal with that and call the siblings.) Microsoft has applied voice technologies to assist in switching inputs from one input to another. (Ahh, I can check to see if that football game is on and let the kids continue with their video games. Then drive them out if it is on because they know I love sports. )

Microsoft says it is the best of both worlds. The burden of switching inputs are gone with the XBOX One.  You can multitask and run apps alongside your game system.  You can actually Skype, Instant Message or Facebook message the kids while you are away.  Microsoft says, that there is no loss of performance through this multitasking.    The real test is when consumers put it through its paces.     

 The 'New Moderator of Home Entertainment' looks sharp

"Microsoft says, Xbox One delivers an entertainment experience like nothing before. Its innovative technology is rivaled
 only by its iconic design." . I call it a 'moderator' because it will be able to control every media in your home and turn it into multimedia.

 
It is beautiful to behold, but there is really nothing extra special in its aesthetics, critics say.  It just looks sharp. Microsoft says "It is sleek and modern design complements any décor. It has sharp corners and clean lines" I love the black.  

Lets examine under the hood.  (In Brief) 

Why did both PS4 and the XBOX One espouse the AMD processors? (Intel's greatest competitor got the XBOX One and the PS4 contract.)   AMD is cheaper brand and they make great processors.  An 8-core x86 processor lets you instantly switch between a game and your entertainment apps with ease. of its.( Intel would have charged a lot for its processor).   Its is a super computer and i am jealous that a gaming system is more powerful that my home computer.  Its CPU,  Graphics Processor and its ESRAM makes it very powerful indeed.   The 8 cores would run at low voltage, saving power and curving the heat , but the experience will be breathtaking.

What is impressive about this system is the HDMI Pass-Thru.  You can connect your cable or satellite box to your XBOX One thought the HDMI port.  Now watching TV through your XBOX One will simple as a voice command.  Notice the HDMI in and the HDMI out.   It is amazing to see an HDMI input in a video console.  It is not only ready to give, but ready to receive input.

Hands-on: Xbox One review
Remember this. Direct TV or Satellite TV shows programming in 1080p and Cable only shows in 720p.(Best Buy geeks will tell you.)  If you have a Direct TV, your whole experience with be better.   Will the XBOX One receive signals at 720p and change them to 1080p?  More research is required.   I have asked a question that may not have been asked yet. 
We have yet to mention the Blu-ray player. There is no protruding disc tray. Just insert the disk to the slot.  Imagine the video quality of the movies and games with a system powerful enough to handle it.   Why did Sony sell the rights to its Blu-ray technology? I do not know but Microsoft will be smiling to the bank.  I purchased a PS3 because of the Blu-ray disc capability alone.   Now I can just get an XBOX One and never have to buy any of those  Blu-ray machines.    The XBOX One will play movies in stunning HD quality.  Like I said before,  it is more powerful than my desktop computers with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB and and 8core CPU.  To be honest,  I think they should have made it a terabyte.  They should sell another one called the XBOX One T.  Just kidding!
