OK so few first impressions after playing and messing around for few hours:
I have two controllers. One is the standard all black controller another is a white controller. The white feels significantly better. It has the matte texture or whatever so the grip just feels better than the all plastic black. I don't know if these controllers are common or what but here is a picture I found online (same exact controller):
The initial set up was simple enough. Although I experienced glitches installing games from discs. For example, installing Ryse it was stuck at 4% forever! Restarting, cancelling instal and trying again didn't help. Finally I read online if you disconnect from the internet, restart, install again and then reconnect works, which it did. Bit of a pain but whatever.
Voice commands. Kinda neat but don't see myself using often other than saying "Xbox turn on".
Kinect. Seems pretty advanced although I have no games to really use it. Still kinda feel creeped out that shit is always on haha.
Games. I fucked with Ryse. It's a button masher so you know what to expect. Graphics are nice though can certainly notice the details. Not blown away yet though but I wasn't expecting to be with Ryse.
Haven't messed with any of the TV stuff yet don't really care too but will eventually.
