The XBOX One

No worries, @WhollySchmidt . I appreciate both the snark and the constructive takes.

I never had a 360 (well I had one near launch but ultimately it didn’t get much use due to the noise), so I don’t have old games to pop in, and I couldn’t care less about achievements on any platform.

It sure is seeming like it would be an indulgent purchase purchase, even at $150, given that I have a great PC and a PS4 in the house. More or less what I expected, OTOH, we only have 1 TV in the house, and w/ the kids monopolizing it, we’ve thought about getting a second. $150 is pricey for a dedicated streamer, but the notion of that use case and the rare game may be enough to push me over the edge.
