XBOX One will learn to play media from USB and DLNA sources

Re: The only way to watch whatever ya want

That's what I was thinking.

A year ago I ran a pretty decent spec pc in the evening and weekends. It did everything. Download legally purchased movies as well as run XBMC.

Since then I've switched to a HP N54L always on NAS, 2 raspberry PI's and an Intel NUC.

My electricity bill has gone down.

I remember the first gen XBOX and PS3 were power hungry monsters, I can assume the Xbox One and PS4 dim the lights a little? So why on earth would anyone want to run their media ctr through a power hungry beast when as someone has already said, most TV's these days will play any file you throw at it at no extra cost?

Clue? Does MS have one?
