Digital downloads = +1 point for me
Controller = 0 shits given
OP mention home media system, only problem being, I already have a blu-ray, tablet, pc, smart tv etc, which can do the xbox 1's features equally as well or better.

It has pretty good hardware specs. With 8GB RAM and a capable CPU/GPU, it means that not only can it handle significantly more processing than the 360, the PC can finally make a tiny bit more use of its power with any future console ports made to take advantage of the next gens hardware.
Shame everything else about the platform shouts "Stay Away".

Wait. I think you've missed something. On steams the games people buy are usually 50-90% off when people buy them so they don't care that the game can't be resold because they got it at second-hand price. On all consoles currently you're paying full price for months after release and it's never dropping that low. Plus you still have other companies like GOG, Green Man Gaming, or Origin if you're retarded and like spyware, you can check them for deals too.TrevHead said:

Ok, honest one?
I like the idea of unifying everything into one place.
That's actually why I'm a PC gamer, I can have everything in one place.
The Xbone did just about everything else wrong though and even the unification thing is a bit crap because all you have is an extremely locked-down, bloatware ridden, anti-consumer PC in the end.

"Bring console power up to the ability of present PC gaming systems"
What they announced a few weeks ago is already lagging behind present PC builds. You can get the PC equivalent of the Xbox graphics controller for about $120 - which is a low-mid range card in the PC world. Which means, by the time they launch, they're already a generation behind.

They've got Remedy working for them, something which makes me sad. I really hope the quantum whatever will be a timed exclusive and wind up on PC in the end.
The Xbone has helped maintain my confidence that Steve Ballmer has no idea what consumers want with respect to what Microsoft produces (Win pnones, tablets of all M$ flavours, and Win8).
