Here's a quote from someone on reddit in a qa with some ign folks. A little of topic but further illustrates potential problems with this type of device; why buy a half functioning console if you don't have the services needed to make it work.

"People who live outside the US will know how late we got access to Netflix, many still don't have it, and we still don't get many of the entertainment services. To us, the 360 only had half the functionality they advertized in the US. But it was alright, because 360 was still mostly a game console, so you got what you payed for.

But the Xbox One seems to be a 50% TV-box and 50% game console, especially given the rumors saying half the memory is locked for gaming. So unless the TV and entertainment features are supported outside US, we're paying full prize for half the product.

Do you know anything about this? Will the sport features work in Europe? Will the DVR and TV functionality work for our brands? What is their strategy for Europeans, if they have any at all?"
