Heck I did some further milling about with the X1 and found out that their version of a file manager is called "My games & apps" instead of "storage" like most are called (which I'm sure has something to do with the fact that the aforementioned games & apps sections of the X1 are more comprehensive than just simply a file manager).

From that I can see every single app and game that is on my X1 and can easily select whichever one I want, delete the game/app or even the "add-ons" for each (read: DLC). The only thing it's missing is the ability to transfer stuff from one thing to another (which would be pointless anyway since you couldn't transfer stuff from one thing to another even if they gave that ability) and the ability to view/delete saves which would certainly be a nice thing to have but it simply isn't needed since your saves automatically get saved to the cloud and the harddrive so there shouldn't be a reason you need access to it anyways.

On top of all that I checked the Xbox TV and Xbox Music and they don't allow you to download the stuff you own yet (which is actually quite stupid) so you don't have to worry about TV, movies, and music taking space on your harddrive.

Basically the X1 does have a file manager that can do 99% of the stuff you want it to.


@wick: have you actually used both systems UI in depth? Because I can tell you from personal experience that the X1 UI is just fine for the most part. There's only one negative thing that I've come across with the X1 UI and that is my pins will randomly disappear and reappear. Other than that it's seamless, quick, and does everything that I need and want it to.
