It gets used that way several times a week. My kids love it because they can turn it on and ask it to go to Nick or Disney without fiddling with the remote. I think it's a feature many blow off but find themselves using and enjoying a lot.

Stuff like that is exactly the reason I went ahead with my pre-order (titanfall bundle).

Its easy to get lost in all the internet debate and fanatacism, but in the end the Xbox One has features like that I can see myself using every day. I've said in this thread before that with getting older and my gaming time dwindling, I'm looking for more than just a gaming experience frome the console. I'm sure the PS4 is awesome but I wanted to buy a machine I'm going to literally use for everything. All the talk of resoultions and framerates that are making the rounds probably won't affect me much, I guess I honestly just don't care that much. As long as the One can deliver a solid gaming experience with great media features, that's what I want.

I guess I'll see how it works out when I get it, I'm hoping the console ships prior to being able to download the game.
