Voice controls work remarkably well. TV and OneGuide integration is seamless. Skype, facial recognition, and other features are useful and polished.
No backward compatibility or legacy game options. Voice controls and facial recognition aren't available on Kinect-less $399 version. Gesture controls don't work consistently. PS4's DualShock 4 is a better controller
Microsoft didn't just make a new game system with the Xbox One, it made a comprehensive gaming and home-entertainment hub you can control with your voice. Be prepared to pay a lot for all of these features (especially if you want voice control), but it's...

Abstract: Quite a few other promises were made to us last generation, only to be broken eventually:So with each new announcement, it's fun to look at each one trying to pick out fantasy from reality.The problem this year is that both Sony and Microsoft announced th...

Abstract: Initially, we couldn't quite decide what we were more surprised about - the fact that it isn't called the Xbox 720 as we have believed for years now and instead shares its name with HTC's latest flagship smartphone , or that it looks like a VCR from the '...

This more affordable Xbox One bundle drops the Kinect and matches the price of the PS4. Microsoft has also killed the paid Xbox Live Gold requirement to access entertainment apps
The Xbox One's dashboard is still confusing at times and the PS4 generally delivers slightly better graphics and performance on multiplatform games so far. Selection of must-have titles is still weak compared to that of previous generation consoles
The cheaper, no-Kinect version of the Xbox One gives buyers a better deal by eliminating the one part of the console they probably didn't want to begin with -- but the PS4 remains a compelling alternative....
Great interface, Kinect is impressive, Snapping works, Strong launch lineup, Easy video sharing
Gold paywall, Controller still uses batteries, No OneGuide in UK
The Xbox One wants to be everything to everyone. Games, movies and music, its lofty ambition is to put all your entertainment in one box. Does Xbox One truly make you master and commander of the living room, or is it all more trouble than it's worth? Allo...
Abstract: It's been a busy year for smart devices, with device makers, big and small, pushing the wares on the market. With a multitude of smartphones, tablets, phablets and Ultrabooks to choose from here's our list of the five best that provide plenty of bang for ...
Abstract: The two machines are also remarkably similar. Both have eschewed the custom-made chips found in older consoles, in favour of components that are largely stock PC parts, and while there are subtle differences, on paper they are close to identical.Where the...
Beautiful graphics, great gameplay experience, Subtly redesigned, extraordinarily comfortable controller, Blu-ray disc playback, HDMI input for pass-through from Freeview/Sky decoder, Full web browser, YouTube support, Skype calling and other apps
Menu system is an awkward mix of 360 and Windows 8, Space-hungry, will not stand up on its end in ‘tower style', Not compatible with Xbox 360 headsets, Some features currently missing for NZ users (voice commands, EPG)
A suitable replacement for the Xbox 360, and one possible way to tie all your home entertainment together. The interface needs some work, though, and a future ‘slimmed down' version would be very welcome...

Abstract: Consoles become part of your life. You'll build a home together, share experiences. You will change, you both will. Your expectations will evolve. As the years drift past you'll become different people; the initial passion will fade and transform into som...
