I feel sorry for people that still pay for overpriced cable... Obviously has more features than Nintendo TVii but will people actually care or get excited about this enough? I don't think it will become a huge selling point but that is just me because I only use 2 streaming services which cost me less than $20 a month. You should see some cable bills in USA... Monopolistic greedy bastards that will never agree to a la carte option.


What if MS can take all of your streaming apps and create a easy guide so you only have to speak the show or movie you want and Kinect runs it.  Now put that ability to be able to snap to any of your apps without loading to then get to any other show or movie you want to watch.  This is something I want to see from MS because that would be a game changer.

I sometimes like looking for shows or movies on Netflix and Hulu+ (well there isn't much to look for on Hulu considering it doesn't offer that many shows that I care about).  There are things called instant queues and I organized mine with all the TV series in front and movies in back.  I don't mind the 1-2 min wait from going from Netflix to Hulu or 10-20 sec wait from exiting one Netflix show/movie to another (sometimes I don't even know what I want to watch or watch next and scrolling through my queue helps me decide).  Again this might be a selling point for some but I don't see that much of an advantage. 

I know from myself, I would like my viewing to be just as instant as if I was watching cable or over the air.  Turn to a station and watch your show or movie.  Waiting 2 to 3 min for each app to load go to my queue or searching just take to long and a busy like I have.  Also being able to say a show name and the guide just find it without me hunting for it is a must.
