Oh, cool. The Xbox One will give me access to Game of Thrones? No more HBO!

of course it will deliver game of thrones.  all you need is a cable box with a cable subscription and an upgrade to HBO..

Which is really the killer of the whole set of TV features.  It would have been different if MS actually had an extra HDD inside to work as a DVR and had rolled out their own internet cable service, possibly tied to Live to help justify the price.  But, the fact that it requires a cable box for all of those features completely destroys the reasoning for calling it the One.  Add a few external HDDs, for when your 500GB HDD fills up, and it becomes more like Xbox Four.

Yeah. For Halloween you could set them up like tombstones and make a little external hdd graveyard.
