Quote:I’m not quite done yet! Now, I’m sure you heard a lot about “TV TV TV TV SPORTS TV TV SPORTS SPORTS TV.” Yes, the Xbox is slated to be able to stream live tv, live sports, etc. So let me ask you this. You obviously already have something like cable or DirecTV. Do you really want to shell out hundreds of dollars more and pay a monthly subscription fee to have another television provider? Yes, I said hundreds of dollars, and I don’t mean the cost of the console. To view live TV from the Xbox you are required to purchase ANOTHER separate device for it to work. Why would you even consider shelling out more money for something you already have anyway? Even if you didn’t, DirecTV is cheaper. Or you could even subscribe you Hulu.com and watch live tv on your computer. FOR MUCH CHEAPER. You essentially have to buy another cable box if you don’t have one. And if you do… what do you need the Xbox One for?

As I posted here: http://www.spriters-resource.com/communi...#pid514967
You don't have to have a separate device. The Xbone will most likely use the cable box/DVR that -you already have- and simply pass the signal through to the TV. The post complains that you shouldn't buy the service and get DirecTV instead, but the way it's gonna work... that's what you'd be doing anyway?????
As much as I'd like to agree with this part... well...
There hasn't really been anything that was confirmed about this feature works.
Microsoft hasn't exactly been straightforward with the console and how the hell it's supposed to operate, but a lot of what has been said already gave everyone enough fear to assume that it's going to be the case.
Unless Microsoft says otherwise then right now a whole range of possibilities is up in the air.
Other than that I pretty much agree with the rest of the post you just made.
