Wow! After reading the Polygon review I'm pretty impressed. Lots of features I didn't know about. I'm also glad my expectations, as I said in the PS4 thread, are confirmed:
the Xbox One feels like it's from the future.
Perhaps the price has dropped by the time it get's released here (April I think). If so, I'll be picking this one up sooner then I expected

The XBOX ONE won't be released in the Netherlands before April?

Looked it up, best estimate is early 2014.

Strange. It was released here on Friday.
Yeah, only 8 or so countries got screwed. Seriously thinking about a visit to my German neighbours
Is it sold out everywhere?
All the TV stuff is America only. Not even Canadians get it, despite it being a key advertising feature for the Xbone everywhere. Not sure why, though, since the TV stuff is actually incredibly simplistic, and is basically the functionality a great many smartphone apps have already. You tell it your location and cable provider, it downloads a channel guide, and then as you browse it uses the Kinect's IR functionality to IR blast your living room, acting like a universal remote control. The PS4 actually has similar functionality, except from what I hear somewhat improved (though for some reason unadvertised): The PS4 can communicate with your TV/cable box via HDMI-CEC, rather than by imitating a remote, allowing for much lower latency in control.
Business deals JSL, business deals.
Yeah it's weird that Sony has intentionally held back on talking about certain things Microsoft is practically screaming about. Even the PS3 could act as a set-top box with some software available in the PlayStation Store. I guess they want to keep the focus on the games.
By the way, the Xbox runs at 60hz, so TV signals in PAL countries get fucked up, as they duplicate one out of every five frames in order to fit the 50hz signal to the 60hz display. This results in frame juddering.
The signals also get fucked up in America though, apparently, as the Xbox doesn't just pass through the TV signal unaltered. Surround sound is stripped out, and I've seen a lot of people complain that the video is darker and somewhat distorted, as if the Xbox's sharpen upscaler for its games is touching the TV display for some reason.
Weird stuff. You have to be careful with the 360's picture settings, one of them (I forget which) makes it sound like it'll produce a superior picture when in actual fact it can really mess up the tonality and contrast if you use the wrong one. It's labelled something like 'expanded colour' which I initially assumed was always good to have enabled, but it's actually all about matching up with the TV's settings and on high-quality screens usually results in all your shadow detail being lost because the black levels are fucked up. Dunno if similar stuff is going on with the XBone.
