    It blows my mind how well it works. MS and Sony have some serious engineering resources to make today's modern titles (albeit optimized for consoles with some of the more subtle eye-candy gone) and basically stick it in a mini-computer box, with networking, and big hard drive, and video card for under 500 bucks.

    well yes and no, what would a pc cost to achieve the same entertainment and is it really worth it? it's a toy to me not a investment. can't recoup the cost

    really purchased the stuff for a boy that's 11 years old now. we play when I'm home, he's getting good, so good I'm bad. not much to do around the house but chase squirrels without it.

    Ive used all the big stops WiFi for online gaming on bf1, gr wildlands, world of tanks, even on some racing runs on forza, i seldom have hiccups anymore. The big chains for the most part are beefing up their WiFi systems. You can easily watch an hd movie with minimal issues. And generally Xbox live only needs 1.5 to 2mbps in order to be competitive. The problems i do see are with ping times and strict nat protocols.
