Xbox One Review: Absolutely Amazing (When It Works)
Should You Buy It?
"Not yet. It's generally dumb to buy any new console right at launch. PS4's have been having issues with a "
blue light of death," and for all we know the Xbox One could have its own issues as well; the sting of the red ring of death is still fresh in most memories. Besides, the launch line-up of games—while a little better than the PS4's—is a bit soft. The real gotta-play system-sellers like
Watchdogs,
Destiny, and
Titanfall, are still a few months out.
Halo 5 is a mere glint on the horizon.
The software is still in flux too. We experienced a little jank with a few apps. Twitch streaming isn't coming until sometime early 2014. HBO Go is "coming soon" but hasn't shown up yet. These consoles are coming in
hot, so just chill
. Theoretically all will get fixed with time; hopefully right around when a game you just have to have finally gets released.
For now, the Xbox One is one impressive living room box machine—and it more than justifies its $500 dollar price with the inclusion of at least $100-worth of set-top boxitude—but you're going to be better off waiting for a little while to see how things shake out.
But—and this is admittedly a sizable but—if the Xbox One can straighten the few little quirks it has with some software tweaks, this thing is going to be unstoppable in a way the PS4 could never touch. It's too versatile, too feature-ridden, too
future. So wait, yes. But while you do, go ahead and start clearing out plenty of space underneath your television."
